Not just another brand name ln the Southwest Conference Indoor Track and Field finals junior Carmen Puma placed fourth in the 300-yard dash. One of the most prestigious meets, for the first time, the indoor meet invited Haltom girls to participate also. Puma excelled in the district track finals as he entered in the 300- yard intermediate hurdles, the 400-meter relay, and the 16004meter relay. We had a young team, commented Carmen, Next year we will be a whole lot better. I Two seniors anchor Young team searches for leadership With a squad of 35, the boys track team was strong in number, but with only two seniors, the team had a disad- vantage. Since the strength of all athletic teams centers around the seniors, the boys' track team had to look at the juniors for ad- vancement. The boys competed on a varsity level instead of the junior varsity level where most boys their age were competing. There were a few members that proved strong during the Todd Phelps. Todd placed se- First row: Kevin Dickerman, Scott Smith, Danny Pitts, Johnny Ramirez, Charles Davis, John Arterburn, Steve Goodwin, Tal Sanders, Terry Gordon, second row: manager Eddie Kimbrough, Gary Line, Tony Carter, Pat VanSchuyver, Carmen Puma, Tom Pantoja, Troy Torrez, Lundberg, Johnny lronmoger, Patrick Grant, Ernest Torrez, Mike Dusak, Coach Pat Pruitt, third row: Coach Keith Bishop, Mark Barbolla, Jimmy Fer- nandez, Brent Miller, Scott Elles, James Coffman, Lee Legorreta, Mike Ford, Brion Bannister, Greg Avants, Jerry Griffis, Todd Phelps, Jimmy Jackson, Russel Miller and Coach Bob Lowe. 8 TRACK cond in both the shot put and ad- vanced to regionals competition, and junior Tal Sanders placed second in both the high jump and long jump and competed in both of these events in the regional meet.

The team placed fourth in district, the highest a girl's team here has ever placed. But the real improvement dealt with the four girls that qualified for regional competition, another record. Seniors Teresa Nabors and Joanne Richardson along with juniors Debra Richardson and Darla Taylor placed high enough in the district so they all could compete one more time in the regionals. Teresa and Joanne both competed in the 1600 meter run, and Debra and Darla competed in the 3200 meter run. All excluding Darla qualified for the finals the day 521 . X .. K f in f i E? .V YL .
