ZERO TO SIXTY IN 8.4 SECONDS? Not Dan Sund! It ' s a sure bet that this year ' s Callaway Track Team won ' t have any par- ticipants in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, How- ever, the Charger track- sters fared well against tough competition in the Big Eight track circuit this season. Both boys ' and girls ' teams participated in the Camellia City Relays in McComb, the Gator Relays at Vicksburg, plus numer- ous city and district meets held at Hughes Field. THINCLADS GATHER NO MOSS High-jumper Dan Sund, a three year letterman, leaped into the record books of the South Mis- sissippi Meet with a jump of 6 ' 5 3 4 and finished second in the state meet.

CALLAWAY LOVES OPPONENTS Just as tennis swept the nation a few years ago, the Callaway Chargers swept tennis last spring. Expertly coached by gone- but-not-forgotten Buddy Wynn, the Chargers came In second in the city, boasting a record of seven wins and two losses. Callaway, District 6 co-champs, sent their number one girl ' s singles player Melanie Olsen and the mixed doubles team of Loretta Sturdivan and Charles Speech into the state AA tournament. Melanie whipped all her opponents to win the state AA crown, while Loretta and Charles took second place, pushing the Chargers to third in the state. Star Charger Melanie Olsen ended the season with an outstanding 19-1 record. Sophomore Allen Hudspeth finished his boy ' s singles play with 9 wins against 5 losses, while in the girl ' s doubles division. Faith Trunzler and Flecha Holmes posted a fine 17-3 mark. Heavy losses due to graduation consititued re- building as a main ob- jective in 1975. With ex- perience under their belt, the 1976 team set a new precedent for future Calla- way tennis. EYEING THE BALL, Melanie Olsen concentrates on another service. SWIIMGING AWAY, David Powell points for another victory. 78 Tennis
