However, track is the least publicized sport of the three. Each event takes individual coaching and training. Dashes require high knee lift, free swinging arms, and a forward lean. Consistency in keeping a precise rhythm is needed for good hurdling. Long jumping requires strong ieg and abdominal muscles, and running speed. Practice and determination proved worthwhile as the Lake Braddock J.V. Track Team placed first in the District. Now, that’s one step closer for our Fast Stepping Sport. i7

Raynes Runners Runners take your mark, set, go . . . and that’s just what the girls track team did. Consisting only of freshmen and sophomores, the girls competed on a Varsity level and did well in district, regionals and state events. Enthusiasm, spirit, and will power could be seen in all girls even though only a few had previous running or field event experience. Their coach, Miss Diane Raynes, kept them busy with weight room and rhythm exercises, while the managers, Debbie Dougherty, and Betsy Cocke, helped keep the teams bright smiles during those 80 degree days. The dis¬ trict meet was held May 2nd and 3rd at Ft. Hunt. This kept 18 of the track team’s girls working out daily after comple¬ tion of the regular season. The work proved worthwhile for Lake Braddock placed well in the high jump, Jeanne Lull in the 80 yard hurdles, and Julie Gauthey in the 880 yard run. This ended Lake Braddocks first girls track year, and they are looking forward to an even better one next year. Sheer determination pushes Julie Gauthey on to the finish line. Discussing a little strategy with the team helps Coach Raynes keep good feelings and communication within the team during a meet. Precise form and hard work pay off for Amy Wolfe. 18 Spring Sports
