The team made the 4x100 Relay Finals in the Championship of America at the Penn Relays. Tanya Smolin (whose 1981 NJ State Girls’ High Jump record still stands to this day) was All-State First Team. Four girls were All-Area First Team: Terry Gnatz, Diane Hayes, Tanya Smolin, and Dina Tobin. Smolin was inducted into the Randolph Hall of Fame in 2015.
