Relay teams consistent JV The 1980 junior varsity track team was not outstanding, but was very consistent. The ,IV team, as most JV teams, was a farm club for varsity. Coach Charles Fitzmorris said of his group of about 15, To be such a small bunch we performed admirably. One of the best showings was the Baytown meet where the team placed fourth of twelve teams, scoring 48 points. Helping at this meet was the consistent 1600-meter Qmilel relay team of Don Taylor, Jim Miles, Mike Parker and Joshua Hamilton who placed second with a 3.29. Another high point was a second place of six teams at Nim- itz. The performances by Mike Parker in the 300-meter hur- dles with a 4-1.4 and the sprint relay team of Taylor, Hamilton, Parker and Porter Wright, who ran 45.3, highlighted the meet. FRESHMEN We had a good group of fellows, coach Joe Karkoska said of his freshman team. Although the team did not consistently place in competition, several individuals stood out in several of the meets. The sprint relay team of Kenneth Hall, Byron Lee, Mike Gross and Billy Williams set a school record with a 4-5:3 in the 400-meter relay. Lee also set a school record with his 4-0:1 in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles at the A.1.S.D. quad meet. The relay team also did vsell with a first at the meet. Allen Hayes was a major achiever by consistently pole vaulting in the 10 foot area and placing in every meet.
