Bob Ireland serves as the official as Ginger Simone, Scott Moore, Bruce Moore, and Steve St. Marie prepare to run the 100 yard dash. The track is an expensive rubberized surface and the field is made of synthetic turf versus natural grass during our time. Football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey are played on the field.
Steve, who was on the track team during his freshman and sophomore year, won the race handily, with Scott in second.
