Sweet Home and Woodburn.
It has been a great competitive
year and we are looking for
ward to next year's competi

The track season dawned on
40 eager young athletes
limbering up for the challenge.

WINNERS
STAY
PHYLLIS TOMEO
Phyllis Tomeo, who works
out by swimming an hour,
running seven to ten miles and
does an hour of calesthenics
and spot exercises, said that
this workout helped her take
first place honors. She main
tains a daily exercise program
because she says she is getting
ready for a summer marathon.
In May, she will be competing
in the Blooms Day Run in Spo
kane, the Moses Lake "Only
the Fools Run in the dark mar
athon," and other locally
sponsored runs.
Tomeo began her workout
routine last spring while pre
paring for the track season and
since then has decided to
maintain the program.
"Running lets me sort put
my problems and makes me
feel better afterwards," she
said. .
Phyllis said that she runs
alone for the fun and emo
tional lift. She also said that
by running six days a week in
the evenings, that this helps
her settle down, calm down,
and allows her to concentrate
PHYLLIS TOMEO
on her studies.
All this is preparing Phyllis
for her future plans of entering
the Air Force in August. At
this time she has no interest iij
becoming an officer but would
like to become a court
reporter.
"I started out running three
miles but not at a quick pace.
I don't encourage others to
follow my patter because they
have their own physical
makeup to deal with. If peo-
p le
IN SHAPE
are interested in running they
might start running short dis
tances with a friend and work
up," concluded Phyllis.
. LES COSTELL
Also capturing first place
but in mens category was Les
Costell and Joe Hillaire with
60 points each.
Les Costell, senior, was

joyed the triathalong because
he enjoys working out. In-
s te a d
of swimming during the triath
along, Les lifted weights, ran
three times and participated in
hurdle running.
'1 mainly work out on
weights every day and try to
run three miles a day, five
times a week. This keeps me
healthy, in shape, and keeps
my mind clear so I can think
better," commented Costell.
After graduation, Les plans
to go to college in Montana.
He has not decided on a career
goal yet, but hopes to partici
pate in sports there and con
tinue on with his wrestling
honors.
White at Chemawa, Les has
been on the football team,

ly on the basketball team. He
