[edit] Plot

It's just weeks before high school graduation and members of the track team are being mysteriously and gruesomely murdered, one by one. When the team's star runner, Laura Ramstead, falls dead at the championship meet, her sister Anne comes to town and a series of grisly murders begin. Is Anne responsible? Or is it coach Michaels who has been fired because of Laura's death? Perhaps it's the campus policeman who is disliked because of his over-zealous drug investigations. Or is it Laura's boyfriend, Kevin, who cant reconcile himself to Laura's death? This is an early film appeaerance for Vanna White. The band Felony also has an appearance in the film. Watch for the pole vault scene, one of the best.
