Bemidji Lumberjacks Track Faces Bright But Bumpy 1978 Season
The Bemidji Lumberjacks track team, young with four returning lettermen and many sophomores, showed steady progress despite heavy odds. Key figures included Jensen, McGuire, Delaney, and Conrad as leaders, with injuries and facility shortages shaping a season ending in tenth at regionals. The coach expects a stronger 1978 lineup as many juniors and sophomores return, aided by summer training as the program seeks better facilities.
