Mprowbg bysszag The women's team, since its formation, set records with each passing meet,' said Davis hN; omen's track has been in the building stages since the team's creation in 1986. Head Coach Ted Lloyd has been working on this project and trying to develop a well- rounded team. The llemember squad managed, despite their number, to achieve the second place title at the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference meet with six members receiving All- AIC honors. The core of the teams strength was composed of distance runners with two sprinters who recently joined the team. Kara Hutchinson, a freshman, and Sharon Coleman, a sophomore, supplied added depth to the teams score. During the indoor season, the Distance Medley Relay team, com- posed of Cheryl Bednosky, Jodie Mur- ray, Maragaret Eoff and Theresa Dur- ham set a school record. Eoff also set a new school record for the 600 meter dash. The team competed in 10 of 16 events held at the conference meet 1-2-3. Cheryl Bednosky, junior, Leigh Bassett, senior, and Tracey Parks, freshman, held the first three spots in the 1500 meter race. Bed- nosky later won this event held at the Harding Invitational outdoor meet. -Photo by Ken Bissell. 16 Playing for keeps with outstanding results. Five team- mates achieved All-AIC, and Cheryl Bednosky broke two AIC records. One record was in the 1500 meter run with a time of 4:48.36 minutes and the oth- er in the 3000 meter run with a time of 10:49.32 minutes. Eoff, who also par- ticipated in the long jump competi- tion, missing the 200 meter dash re- cord by 3.49 seconds, finishing the race at 27.32 seconds. Eoff also won the 400 meter dash with a time of 1:01.69 minutes. The other five All- AIC members in the team were Me- lynda Davis, Teresa Durham, Hutch- inson, and Tracey Parks. Since 1986, Lloyd has worked on building a better woments track team. By looking at their record one can see that he has accomplished his goal. However, Lloyd said, 90f course we have made some progress, but no mat- ter how well you do there is always room for improvement eMelynda Davis BISONS IN A PACK. At the outset of the 800 meter race the competition was steep but Leigh Bassett, senior, managed to be in one of the top two spaces.
