 Who Will You Run To Team members, coach had high aspirations Track members started practice on the 22nd of Feb- ruary, and at the beginning of the season, track coach Billy Goss was looking forward to a season full of competition. We were very competi- tive this year,'' he said. Almost all the girls that ran last year came back, and An- dre Williams. Baron Nelson, and Chris Kenner came back from last year's boys' team. Last season's 1600 meter relay team placed first in sev- eral meets and third in the Meet of Champs. Goss said that he tried to build on this year's team, because all of the runners in the relay last year were seniors and he had to start fresh. He also said he had great expectations for this year's girl's team. This might be the best We had a lot of team spirit and great team- work. group of girls to come through Sylvan Hills in a long time, he said. I had great expectations for them. Junior Lisa Williams, run- ner of the 100 meter run, the 440 relay, and the 880 relay, said that her greatest com- petition came from Jackson- ville's Erica Johnson in the relays and the 100. Erica is real good, Wil- liams said. She’s tough competition and she's hard to run against. Also, I pulled my thigh last year and I didn't run my best against her, so I did exercises throughout the year to improve on my per- formance. Senior Chris Kenner's main goal for this season was to break the school record of 53 feet in the shotput. My main goals for this year were to break the school record and to letter, he said. I was really looking forward to this season since it was my senior year. Train- ing and trying to break the school record has been hard, but fun at the same time.” — by Miranda Perkins FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES. Front Row: S. Sulcer. T Seward. G. Washam. C. Kenner.
