C O M F O R T IN COMPETITION port Reaching those long set goals is an inspiring and re- lieving feeling. Sweat and fatigue from practice could dampen these goalsg the in- juries and pain from long term overuse could some- times get unbearableg and the sacrifice and dedication can sometimes be doubted. Nonetheless, MHS teams and individuals rose above these and many other obsta- cles. This hard work and perseverence paid off to in- dividual players when spe- cial recognition was given. Teams like the Boys Cross Country team savored the feeling of a state champion- ship and drove on for more. No team or individual could loseg the satisfying feeling of knowing you've tried is enough to be victorious. Up and over!

Boys' Track Team Takes First County Championship Our team, with our new head coach, Delmer Howell, was the strongest it has ever been, said three-year track veteran, Eric Fearn. The Boys' Track Team had a very successful season until they lost their final meet to Greenwood, who went on to become region champs. Mauldin made up for that loss when several team members showed suprise performances that led to the Maverick's first Greenville County Championship. The Mavericks dominated the county meet by having team members strong enough to place high in most every event. The Go Mavericks! Several Mavericks take the Erst few places of the 3200 meter run to help win the Wade Hampton Meet. iPhoto by Vardrey Freemanj Lunging for the finish!

Other team members continued to help the score by taking second in the 1600 meter relay, triple jump, long jump, and high jump and the Mavericks had third place finishers in the long jump, 3200 meter run, 800 meter run, 200 meter dash, and 400 meter relay. By pulling themselves together as one of the strongest track teams around, the Mavericks ended its season, defeated only by Greenwood. Gary Arnold ,rf ss, inn? U Wx Q Boys' Track f 93
