Records will start all over with BY High in its first year of A competition. Most of the schools that competed with BY in Class B are also competing in Class A. In baseball American Fork and Provo will probably be the leaders in this sport with BY, Lehi, Orem, Springville, and Carbon definite contenders. Track and field feature Orem and Provo as the definite leaders but many individual performers from all the competing schools may excel in their own specialty. Tennis has Provo, Lehi and n favorOrem as the ites tp take the region, but once pre-seaso- again many athletes in this sport from the other schools could give the favorites trouble. Golf has Prvo all alone in the school competition, but many schools arent listed as schools that have golf as an official sport. Tryouts will be held next week with first baseball and tennis competition slated for April 1 against Springville. 50-4- lf 63-6- classes.
