Track Team Places Third In Yankee Conference URI 's indoor track team was not as successful in 68-69 as it has been in previous years. Their record in dual meet competition was 0 and 3 and Rhody placed third in the Yankee Conference. But Rhody trackmen have something to look forward to in the future. A new athletic bubble is being built beside Keaney Gymnasium and beginning next year the athletes should be able to practice inside instead of outside at Rodman Hall as they always have in the past. Practicing outside has always been a handicap to the trackmen . This year several snowstorms and freezing weather made it almost impossible for the squad to practice. There are few universities, if any, who do not have indoor tracks and it takes a pretty dedicated athlete to brave the freezing cold and the elements. Because URI did not have an indoor track all its meets had to be scheduled away. For this reason they did not have any spectator support. In the future, URI trackmen will be able to train better inside and should get some spectator support.
