As a result our team was selected to represent the Corps Area in the National Match which includes teams from all parts of the United States and possessions thereof. Incidentally this is the first time that a team in any sport of our school has advanced to a point where it has had the honor of participating in a National Match and we are justly proud of them and offer them our most hearty congratulations.

TRACK The Track Team, uncier the skillful coaching of “Joe” Duncan, threatens to bring forth championship teams as soon as enough interest is aroused to give the coach sufficient material for all events. Unable to send a full team to the Virginia Track and Field Meet held at Charlottesville on May 13 and 14, Alexandria, nevertheless, managed to tie for fifth place with six points, and to run second in the relay in a stirring race. Mankin of Alexandria placed second in the class B 100-yard dash and third in the 220-yard dash. Bruin ran fourth in the latter event. Crouch, who was leading the 100-yard dash, stumbled and fell, to lose his chance of victory. In the 880-yard relay Alexandria was given the outside lane, and was thus handicapped. It was due to this fact alone that she was barely defeated by Hampton after Bruin had made a game finish to take second place a few yards before the tape. The relay team was composed of Crouch, Bowman, Mankin, and Bruin. At the time of this writing Alexandria has had only one meet, a triple event with Episcopal and Washington and Lee. Alexandria lost to Episcopal, but nosed out Washington and Lee 13-8. The biggest meet of the year will be held on May 18 with Hyattsville High, Washington and Lee High, and Alexandria competing. The members of the team are: Jennier Bruin Carr Henderson Routzhan Weimer Crouch Mankin Sheads Southard Bowman Horton Clift Jackson
