This years' team of 42 stu dent athletes is one of the largest turnouts after having 35 students in 1993. Many of the athletes are turning in top per formances to place in the top six spots. Due to the large number of participants the in addition to the red uniforms the team is also using old blue and gold uniforms from Heppner High School. "With the seventh and eighth graders moving to the high school next year, and uniform colors still undecided, the exchange with the high school uniforms was also a cost effective measure," said coach Susan Hisler, "even though for those watching it can be very confusing who Heppner is ." Two old school records fell April 7 at the first track meet. The 1982 long jump record set by Alex Lindsey at 17'9" was broken by Derek Gunderson 17'11".

Other record breaking hopefuls are Gunderson in the 200m, Levi Geer 400m, Abby Kahl in the 400m, and Tony Greenup in the shot, discus and softball.
