The other rookies are Paul Hall from Georgetown and Fred Jenner, a graduate cf the Bramp- ton junior A club..

Wreggîtt was the next highest scorer for Rdinen last season with 50 points in 16 games, making the acquisition cf Park, now living in Guelph, necessary for the Redmen offenoe. Redinen are also hoping te add a few players from the U.S. coliege field lacrosse teazus once school has ended. «We're pretty confident this je going te be the Redmen's, year," says Calvin Curtis, who handles media relations for the Redxnen orgnization.

Curtis doesn't deny that some hard feelings resulted frein the changes, saying «It's our feeling that a small group is disenchan- ted." However, he says, "We're ty ing hard te dispel those feelings." The new executive is attempt- ing te get more people involved, he says, with each member focus- i.ng on only one function rather than having some mnembers per- form to many tasks.

Perhaps the moot memorable event at OFSAAIlast year was the accompli shment cf Anderson's Adrian Woodley. He net oniy won the junior boys' il-metre hurdies but aloo broke 01 npic gold medalist Mark McCoy's 12-year record in Te rocese. Woodley aise won the gold medal in the triple jump. A senior this year, he could very well repeat hie succem story at the 1994 OFSAA chainpionehips. Although a firet- place finisher in the national junior championehips in both events, he will meet hie toighest competitors at LOSSA. ut: the hurdles, it is last year's OFSAA junior silver medaliet, Pickering's Dion T)rowers, who tied McCWy' record and the 1993 OFSAA senior boys' silver medalist, Henry Street's Jason Brumiley.
