The track teams both started their spring season off with strong wins over Clark University, Worcester State, and ECSU. The men's team is strong in depth and plans to compete for the conference title. The women's team, while much smaller than the men's team, is composed of high quality athletes and should also be very competitive in the conference. The teams are coached by Jim Smith, Bill Cotter, and Merl Norcross.
Men's tennis, coached by Marc Young in his third season an WPI, hopes to grow on its building season of 1995. The team is returning 5 quality players and has many promising players. The coach expects to steady the team in the middle of the conference and perhaps surprise some of the stronger teams.
The WPI golf team, headed by Mel Massucco, is heading into the spring season with several veterans, including captain, Jeff Peterson, '96. However, the team lacks depth but hopes to be competitive if players can make the matches.
The softball, baseball, and lacrosse teams are also planning on having winning seasons this year. To show support for these teams and your fellow classmates, pick up a spring sports schedule in Alumni and try to come down and cheer WPI on to victory. Hope to see you at the games.
