10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, March 29, 1995 Dallas track (continued from page 9) Top competitors for the Mounts ~ includeJason Pieczynski (jumps), Sean Callahan (sprints and jumps), Greg Hodne (sprints and triple jump), Joe Ankenbrand (sprints), Bob Lorah (sprints), and Mike Lykon (hurdles). A couple of juniors, John Cris- pell and Mike Tomasura, lead the distance runners. The main thrower for the Mounts is Dave Townsend, who placed first at districts in the shot put and second in the discus a year ago. Other throwers included Dave's younger brother Scott and Mark Morris. The pole vault is another strength. Seniors Adam Hoover and Buddy Rhodes took first and second respectively at the '94 district tournament. “We have a lot of very talented athletes that have been perform- ing for us for years," said Kvashay. “We expect alot outofthemagain.” Girls are strong, too While the expectations for the “boys team are high, the turnout for the girls team, also led by 8 Kvashay, has Dallas excited. | Twenty girls, the highest amount | since girls’ soccer was added to the spring menu a few years ago, will wear the blue and white. ~ ' “I'mlooking forward to the girls team this year,” said Kvashay. “I 2 think we have a good chance of doing very well against the other AA schools. There's going to be a ~ verylotof exciting girls meets this | year; some close ones." Inexperience figures to be the a Eight Strikers place at AAU's Noxen Strikers placed eight at AAU's. They were the following: Bantam, Josh Ross, 40 lbs., 1st; Rick Bower, 40 lbs., 2nd; Greg Sheperd, 60 lbs., 3rd; Midget, | John Houssock, 501bs., 1st; Ryan Post, 66 Ibs., 3rd; Junior, Shawn | Stroll, 62 Ibs., 2nd; Matt Metz, 70 ~ Ibs., 1st; Mike Burnside, HWT, 3rd. Other area wrestlers who placed were: Advanced, Randy Evans, 93 lbs., 1st; Mike Metz, 112 Ilbs., main drawback for the Lady Mounts. Even with the season now underway, Kvashay is hard pressed to determine just who will compete in which event. The strong point of the team lies in a couple of athletes. Junior Stacey Suda is a strong distance runner and lists a second place finish in the 800 at states among her credentials. Twin sister, Robin, is among the league's best in hurdles and jumps. There's also Tanya Butler (throws), Shelby Jayne (throws), and Sarah Misson (throws and high jump). : “Although our experienced athletes are small in number, they're high in quality,” said Kvashay. “We'll try to build a team around them.” Carrie Fetterman, Kim Jones, : Heather Wilt and Christy Woolbert will also see plenty of action. Kvashay also indicated freshman Stephanie Warner, Amber Coolbaugh and Natalie Temper- ine will be a tremedous boost to the team. For the boys to continue to succeed and for the girls to have their best season in years, it is essential for Dallas to stay healthy. “One person could swing a meet,” explained Kvashay. “We just don't have big, strong num- bers. We have to be lucky to go undefeated in this league, boys or girls. Double A against triple A really adds up in track.” Kvashay will be assisted by Larry Shuler.

I don't know what's going to happen yet.” Although depth is a problem, the roster is loaded with the type of athletes who could mold to- gether and peak as a team by the time district competition rolls around in mid-May. “If all of the kids come together in the runs, maybe we can find a couple more in the field events,” Narkiewicz said. “Maybe we can win a couple. I want everyone to feel that they can do the best they can at any given meet; you can't ask for more than that.” The warmer, drier weather in the spring of '95 has allowed practices to run much smoother than the previous two years. The team was making daily progress until annoying, windy conditions - entered the area last week. “Anytime you have the tem- perature running up and down, it's pretty hard on anybody train- ing outside,” added Narkiewicz. The Wyoming Valley Confer- ence is tough and Lehman will have Dallas, the three time de- fending district II class AA cham- pion to contend with. The Knights hope to steadily improve and perhaps qualify some athletes for states. Girls team draws 30 The Lady Knights have 30 girls out for the team - that’s 19 more than last year. Seven letterman lead a roster loaded with under- classmen, including several fresh- man that coach Ed Radzinski pulled up from junior high. Those girls will do more than just round off the roster, they will contribute. The combination of enthusiasm, talented athletes and Radzinski's motivational technique should allow the Lady Knights to vastly improve on last year’s single vic- tory. The girls, often competing with just six or seven, struggled through the season just to make it to districts. “We'll be 150 percent better,” said Radzinski. The goal of the program is to make progress each year, even if it means just narrowing the mar- gin of defeat with the larger however, would not be suprised to see his + Lady Knights in the thick of the AA race going into their last meet - schools. Radzinski, which just happens to be with league favorite G.A.R. “If everything goes well we should be sitting right there with G.A.R.,”" Radzinskisaid. “The girls realize that and that’s a big plus mentally.” In addition to having some growing to do, Lehman is weak in the hurdles and long distance.
