Ru n With Styl Track Year Ended As Best Ever Conference runners-up, county champions, region runners-up, and fourth place state finishers How else to describe the Girls' Track Team? The team dominated their opponents and individually, the girls crushed school records. Dianne Farrington broke two individual school records in the 400 meter with a 57.8 and the 800 meter with a 2:20. Dana Purser broke three school records in the mile, the 800, and the two mile race. Kristen Humphrey's 16.4 second 100 meter high hurdles broke another record. The 1600 meter relay was also broken during the season with members being Lora Work- man, Dana Lyle, Dana Purser, and Dianne Farrington. The highest point of the season was in the Westside meet. Down by fifteen points the girls made a stunning come- back to tie up the meet. Dianne Far- rington commented, With the con- secutive first, second, and third place finishes of Dana Purser, and Dana Lyle and me in the 800 meter race, Dana Purser's victory in the 3000, and the first place finish of the 1600 meter relay team, the girls tied with 62.5 points. This brought our record to 7-0-1. Coach Ed Coles later commented on the girls' weaker points. The team was young and inexperienced which was a weak point this season, but will be a contributing factor in the years to fol- low. To wrap up the very successful sea- son Christa Miller said, I feel we all had a good year. The closeness between the girls was evident in the constant support throughout the season.
