46 Track RACING TO VICTURY The Boys' Track team of 1981-82 was led by a group of four seniors who consistently placed in the top three at meets. The 400-meter relay team of Gerard Ruff, Tony Cotton, Louis Carter and James Watson placed first in the Newport News relays and second in the Hampton relays. In April, the team travelled to the Penn relays where Kecoughtan placed sixth overall. The highlight of the season was at the Peninsula Relays where the 400- meter team set an official record of 41.9 seconds. The success of the whole team was credited to a tough condition- ing program which was begun in the winter, and the experienced leadership of Coach Bill Mebane, who provided the team with enthusiasm and confidence. The Girls' Track team produced fine performances considering that they A Kecoughtan Track runner runs with determi- nation to meet the hand of her partner with the baton. lacked depth in many of the events. Due to injuries and illness, the season started off slowly, with first-year members carrying most of the weight. In addition to the regular season meets, the girls competed in the Rebel Relays, Dogwood Relays, Peninsula Re- lays, Newport News Relays and Hampton Relays. Head Coach Roger Watson, who was assisted by senior Jackie Cheseman, explained that the team's difficulty was in preparing for the spring season, as there was no in- door track season in the winter. Coach Watson looks forward to the next sea- son for which he hopes more returning members will provide the depth and experience that the season's team lacked. However, despite the fact that the odds were against them, the girls worked long and hard, and are to be commended for this. MaryKate Behan pours on all her strength speed to the finish line.
