' x f F I' . .'l ' .- f r ,ff ...o 1. 1 . l Above: Gosh, our first winning time! Webb finally organized a girls' track team this year, much to the delight of many. After weeks of rigorous practice, the girls participated in numerous joint meets with the boys throughout the season, and they finished with many accomplishments. Competition was stiff, the chief rivals being Central and Halls. However, with their determination to win, the girls' track team managed to come out on top in several meets. Peggie Johnson, who scored as many as 20 points in one meet, turned out to be the Bill Arbou of the girls' track team by competing in the high jump, discus, 100-yard dash, and the 440-relay. For her achieve- ments, she received the first annual award given to the girl who con- tributed the most to the team in both skill and spirit. Other naturals, such as Mary Gibbons, the miler, Peggy Burton and Melissa Morgan, who ran the 880, and Libby Rule, who ran everything, needed little coaching. Although the bulk of the team was made up of Lower School girls, Gwen Mcllwaine, Cathy Greene, Trinka Crossley, and Terri Tar- vin added Upper School leadership and pep as well as talent to give the team the balance it needed to round out a successful season.

Rod Townsend, a former soccer star himself, inspired ffrightened'?J the team and gave it the ruggedness and stamina it had previously lacked. In at least two of the losses in the 2-5 season, Webb was hampered by the non-regulation size of the opponents' fields. The team earned victories in both the first and last games of the season, beating WCA C3-ll and powerful Oak Ridge Q2-ll, both at Webb. No loss exceeded three points. The team featured a high-powered offense and a thoroughly competent defense. The forward line, which had the potential to be best in the state, keyed on the play of wings Ken North and Kirby Chritton C2 goalsj, and center Bo Townsendfll. Aussie Leo Davies added a socceroo goal. Webb had three good halfbacks in Mike Ayres, Jay Newlon, and Tim Pitts, who scored. The stingy defense, which gave up less than 2 points per game, was marked by the play of seniors Greg Reed and Scott Overall and junior Jim Ripley. Once again Webb was fortunate in the excellence of its goalies, this year Steve Minor and Bruce Wallace. The year would not have been as successful without the extensive help of Mr. Paddon, former coach, who not only officiated but also provided assistance in innumerable other ways. The team would like to thank him and Coach Rod Townsend for their time and effort.
