Retro RFH Track & Field Warm-Up

Spring is in the air; and, they’re on track for good run in the season’s start to RFH Track & Field.

Back in 1975 — April 1, to be exact — the team was on the field bending, stretching and reaching for a star-studded season. It was still a bit of a chill(y) time in the warm-up, but the RFH track guys were in sync.

The first meet is on April 2 this year at Hazlet’s Raritan High School.

Practice makes perfect, as we are taught. So here’s to the warm-up times among RFH athlete friends and coaches!

It looks like that’s RFH Track Coach Dewey Robinson standing on the field. Robinson, who died in 2008 at the age of 58, was an RFH Class of 1968 grad. He was very popular on the field and in the classroom.

But, who was the other coach back in that day? And, who’s that lying down on the practice time job? How did a cap like that fit the track practice mode? Hmmmmm …

Word is that it’s RFH Class of ’78 Robbie Roberto.

On track? Yes. Run with it, RFHers!

Thanks to George Day for yet another fabulous look back at RFH!
