Manhasset's varsity indoor track team won its 21st title Saturday night, Jan. 23, at Farmingdale College. The athletes outperformed 10 Conference V schools for the title: Valley Stream South, Friends Academy, Oyster Bay, North Shore, Wheatley, Malverne, Jericho, Clarke, Cold Spring Harbor and Valley Stream North. Fourteen different athletes contributed to the team victory, competing in 12 different track and field events. Scoring was : 10-8-6-4-2-1 for first through sixth place.

Some of the faces change each year but the team's success always depends on a small number of athletes who compete in many events, athletes who have special events and relay runners. Five athletes were the work horses this year, each competing in three events: Vincent Bilello, Mack Bradley, Tory Dean, Don Scott and Scott Zaremba. The five athletes scored 70 of the 113 team points.
