The AHS Indoor Track Team de- feated all contenders to become State Champions for the second year in a row. Setting numerous school and na- tional records, the Patriot team is ranked as one of the top five teams in the nation. The Patriots produced their fifth straight undefeated season in the Commonwealth District. Sweeping the Regionals, District, VMI, and Ten- nesee Invitationals definitely termed the AHS thinclads as unconquerable!! National record setting perfor- mances came from Steve Darcus, James Gardner, Ronnie Harris, and the Patriot mile relay team.
