David Dantzler Bunny Hancock Placing third in districts was OK, but individually the Lady Knights ,re fi rst all the Way hitting the pavement As a long distance runner the only thing she can hear is the beating of her heart. As a discus thrower or a shot-putter, the only thing they think about is a good follow- through after their throw. When long jumping or high jumping, the steps are essential. All these things make up the girls track team. After a slow start with two losses to Salem and Patrick Henry, the season seemed to pick up. The next two teams Cave Spring met up with became quick victories. With only two teams left on the schedule, Cave Spring beat Pulaski but had a hard loss to William Fleming. Even though Cave Spring placed fourth in the districts, the main concentration of the winning was centered around individuals more than the team as a whole. About the attitude of the members and the way the season went, Coach Joe Hafey said, III was not too happy about the season. I think attitude was our biggest problem. Despite the attitude problem, certain individuals excelled in certain areas.

The only form of light is a tlashlightfl said Matt. Matt liked shooting because if something went wrong, the only person he had to blame was himself. ltSome people compete in team sports, and I like to watch team sportsfl said Matt, tlbut I am an individual and I like to do things for myself. David Dantzler Aime N student from Indiana, lead the point standings with 53 points. Ace Greer, a junior, followed up as a close second with 46 points. Although several girls went to regionals, Beth Sparks was the only one who went to state finals. She competed in the shot-put event and placed 15th in state with over 35 feet. Captain Kelly Thompson thought the season went pretty well. I think we had a good attitude and most everybody worked hard, said Kelly. Some members of the track team said that there should be cuts made; however, Kelly disagreed with this. uItls fine if we have enough uniforms for everybodyfl she said. Kelly, who competed in three events, lead the team well. ttShe had a great attitude and really kept morale going when times were really toughfl said Beth Sparks. The season ended and two girls on the track team were recognized. Ace Greer received the outstanding runner award, and Beth Sparks received outstanding field events and overall awards. Julie Rutherford went to regionals in two events.
