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. Darcus owns the fastest time in the nation among high school students in the high hurdles (7.3), while the mile relay team, consisting of Rob Brown, Tom Felker, Greg Davis and Ronnie Harris, ranks first in the U.S. with the time of 3:22.4. So much can be said about these young, talented athletes. These out- standing men compose the finest track team ever to come from AHS. Along with their accomplishments, their po- tential is far-reaching. It can be cor- rectly stated that the “Patriots’ strength is that they have no weakness.” Patriots wing their way into a 1 I . R. Harris races to the finish line. He holds the second fastest lime in the nation in both the 300 and 60 yd. dash, with the times of 32.2 and 6.2 respectively. 2.

Patriots battle their way to the Commonwealth District Championship The 1975 Patriot basketbal team dis- played a caliber of team basketball seldom achieved on the high school level. The AHS cagers fashioned a 19-1 record to win the regular season Commonwealth title. Although the Patriots were upset by Gar-Field in the District tournament, they automatically gained a berth in the Regionals because of their perfect 16-0 district record. In one of their toughest games of the season, the AHS team lost the Regional title to Halifax in the closing minutes. Albemarle ' s starting Five, consisting of Hawkins, Corrigan, Swingler, Wil- liams and Holland combined to form one of the Finest teams AHS has pro- duced. Team togetherness, a perfect defense, and excellent foul shooting are just a few of the factors that con- tributed to their winning season. Junior Evan Williams was selected as an All-District candidate for his front court skill, while Corrigan and Hawkins were named to the All- Regional team as two of the top guards in the state. Williams was chosen to represent AHS on the second All- Regional team, and Holland received Honorable Mention. Fine basketball dexterity will be lost upon the graduation of these seniors: Tri-Captains Hawkins, Swingler and Corrigan; along with Crenshaw and Holland. Congratulations go to Coaches Frankie Allen, Jamie Brown and their basketball players. I. Chris wonders who ' s shooting the ball. 2. Todd Crenshaw goes off the floor for a lay-up. 3. Roderick wants to bring the net down with him.
