Track Squad
Again Strong
At Bethesda

Bethesda Chevy Chase, BIZ
county track champion for
the past two years, appears
to be stronger than ever this
spring if last weeks triangu-
lar meet at Wheaton is any
indication.
The Barons notched nine firsts
and II seconds while rolling up
95a points to outdistance North
wood (501S) and Wheaton (1O).
The Barons will be stepping
across the Potomac Saturday to
engage a strong field at the
George Washington High School
Relays.
This should be my best team
in four years as coach at B-CC,"
Jim Davis says. "We'n have
more depth than ever before"
Davis has had an impressive
record as the Barons' track men
tor.
He has never lost a dual meet
to bi-county team and has an
overall dual record of 12-4 over
the last four years. Two of the
four losses were to Wakefield
and the others to CIV and WI.
Last season the Barons won
the Montgomery County meet,
the bi-county meet, finished
third in the Wakefield Invita-
tional (23 teams) and lost the
state meet when bees winning
880-yard relay team was dis
qualified for a lane violation.
B-CC had defeated Northwest
ern, last seasons state champs,
1852 in dual competition.
Last weeks impressive win
at Wheaton was accomplished
without the Barons' strongest
selling point, the mile-relay
team of Paul White, Art Gauss,
Bob Guthrie, and Knight Bowles.
It was this group that turned in
a record breaking 3:34.S in the
Evening Star games this winter.
The B-CC team managed to fin.
ish a strong second in the games
despite lack Of indoor training
facilities.
Davis broke up the team for
last weeks meet. White and
Bowles turned In winning per-
formances in the 440 and $50,
while Guthrie anchored the $780,
relay and won the broad jump.
Guthrie and Bob Berth were
the only double winners in last
weeks meet. Berth won the 100
yard high hurdles and tied for
first in the low hurdles, also at
120-yards.
Davis keeps a squad of Sc for
the season. There are 50 return
ing from last years squad, Is Of
whom earned letters.
