With only five returning lettermen, the team was dominated by sopho- mores. “During the course of the season, the team fared well in most meets. A lack of unity hurt, but we still came out pret- ty well,” said Rhonda Lewis, jr. The team finished the sea- son by placing fifth in the Ark Valley Meet, third at the Re- gional Meet, and qualifying nine girls to participate in both the State Outdoor and Indoor Meets. Michelle Dakes. soph., shows the tech- nique used in running hurdles. Girls Track 117
