The money is used to defray expenses for running the program, such as transportation and game officials. The athlete will still have to buy his own equipment. Schools usually offer a package, costing $20 or $30, that includes socks, jocks, trunks, practice jersey etc. It varies in every sport and at every school. Q. Don't the schools have an athletic budget to cover its expenses? A. Yes, but with inflation as it is, we had to either initiate the pay to play program or eliminate the programs. The school budget pays for balls and equipment Did you know that each of our high schools paid $1,000 last year for athletic tapealone and we buy it at discount rates?

There sixth in the were 40 runners in the two hundred meter, and Keith was fifth fastest in meet. the prestigious Steve Tueller, of Bountiful, was the only other Utahn to qualify for an invitation. Tueller finished second in run. the 1500-met- er Crockett spent ten days at track camp, under the tutoring of the assistant track coach at Oregon State. Most of the running techniques were routine, said Keith but they taught me about my racing form. It didn't give me better running time on this trip, but wait until next year. From Oregon, Keith flew into San Francisco to compete in the AAU-TAp national tournament. The weather at Pleasant Hills, Calif., where the meet was held, was 105 degrees, and the asphalt track was a hot 165 degrees. Three athletes had heat strokes, and others passed out from the terrible heat, said Keith. It was so hot that they had to water down the starting line because the runners burned their fingers, when they were in their starting blocks. Crockett finished sixth in the 100 meter, and eleventh in the 200 meter, in times he declined to talk about. "11.3 seconds won the 100 meter, lamented Crockett, and my best time back home is 10.8 seconds thats how bad it was to run. Someone stole Keiths track shoes, and his father had to send an old pair down for the California meet. Keith isn't one to make excuses, but did admit, that it slowed hint down a bit. Crockett is now working out with the football team, and hopefully can put that speed to work for Roy High C track meets in Oregon and California, and he spent 10 days at a track camp at Oregon State University. Crockett, through special invitation, attended the Track City International Track and Field Meet in Eugene, Oreg., and competed against runners his own age from all over the United States, from Canada and from the Caribbean Islands.
