Chris Wilson seems to fly over the high bar. Attaining an average height of 6'4, Chris was Ashbrook's most outstanding jumper. Qs.. is in is They jump. They run. They win! The tension builds, you start to feel the butterflies in your stomach, you approach the starting line and get into position, the gun is fired and you're off, trying to break away from the pack, As you end the first , two laps you start to feel the strain, but the excitement of the moment fills you, and you push even harder. As you approach the finish line all you can think is 'get ahead and win! You feel that last burst of energy and cross the finish line first! You've just won your first race and all your hard work and training has paid offll Of course, running events aren't the only aspect of track, The field events are equally as strenuous and take just as much practice and dedication. The boys' track team of 1982, coached by lohn Moose, had an over-all finish of third in the conference. Bill Will was conference champion and 3rd in the state both his junior and senior years, great concentration and skill, David Belk crosses the last hurdle on his way to the finish line. Sports! 179
