Photo by R. Law The girls track team once again won the district title for the 5th year in a row. In addition to the district title, they also captured the regional title for the first time and sent two girls to state. Seniors Jolanda Jones and Val Stickler, who won the State championship in Austin. Under the direction of a new coach, Li . Parke, the girls retained their willingness to win. Senior Janet Dammann stated, Coach Parke was very supportive during the whole season and was the one who gave us encouragement and confidence in ourselves to make us believe wecould win district again. Another element that contributed to a winning season was a strong field events team. This year the team did not have as many sprinters and the field events made up for lost points. Coach Parke feels that every girl on the team was outstanding and each member contributed in some way to a winning season. At State, Jo Jones won three events and placed second in the fourth event as the outstanding runner on the team. The J.V. Ramrunners compiled a team together at the end of the year and competed in one meet (district). The girls showed an outstanding effort in district with Anna Sehms winning 1st in the3200mand 1600m run. With many seniors graduating these J.V. girls will move up to help the varsity maintain their winning tradition. sity Track: Front: S. Fields, M. Herzog, C. Charlton, C.Shine,S. Keeny, R.
