Lake-Lehman track
had a few bright spots
By CHRISTINA CONRAD
Sports Correspondent
Although the Lake-Lehman girls’
and boys’ track teams had a less
than impressive final record this
season, they still had a few ath-
letes who performed really well for
head coach Ed Narkiewicz.
Senior Lauren Frederick, daugh-
ter of Donald and Linda Frederick
of Harveys Lake, was the most
successful of the group. She con-
sistently posted first place finishes
in the high jump, long jump and
triple jump. This is her third year
in varsity track and she qualified
for districts in the long jump with
a jump of 16', 2 3/4". She now
advances to the state champion-
ships on Friday and Saturday May
22-23 at Shippensburg.
“It was strange. It seemed like
the high jump and triple were my
stronger events during the season.
I didn't pay as much attention to
my long jump. It should be easier
to place, though,” commented
Frederick.
Frederick is now training for the
competition. She is the only ath-
lete from Lake-Lehman to advance.
“I'm used to training by myself. I
usually practice by myself. I mean,
Mr. Nark has to go around to so
many people. I got help from the
assistant coaches and I practiced
with the boys’ team,” stated Freder-
ick.
Lauren is hoping to do well in
states. After that she is planning
on attending Kutztown University
to continue her academic and
athletic career. “I can't wait. I also
am going to try indoor track which
is new for me because I'll be doing
it all year round. It will be a lot of
hard work," Frederick said.
Frederick proved to be a leader
this year by example. It should be
interesting to see how she does at
states.
Masters was strong thrower
Another senior, Gary Masters,
son of Gary and Kim Masters of
Sweet Valley, proved to be an ex-
cellent thrower for Lehman and in
the Wyoming Valley Conference.
Gary has been in varsity track for
four years. His events were the
shot put, discus and javelin. “The
