Large Team Shows Future Potential Girls Track had hot and heavy com- petition. Even though most partici- pants were from the freshmen and sophomore class, they were hot on the heels of the more experienced seniors. Out of 108 girls that tried out, 75 made the cut, developing one of the best teams in league, creating an exciting season. Returning senior Natalie Thorpe looked to be a natural leader, encour- aging the other runners with an enthu- siastic, competitive attitude. Coaches Scott Sperber, Lisa Bull- ock, and Ruben Chappins prepared the girls for a strenuous season. The team was lead by Leslie Pratt, Natalie Thorpe. Tsenre Jackson, and freshmen Mary Gram and Tammy Snyder. With time to develop, the young team shows a lot of potential. Renee Helgoe.
