“It takes practice” is what the coaches say and they must be right because that’s what we did a lot of this year. After school, we ran laps around the track, ran relay races, did the long jump, high jump and the pole vault. We threw the discus and shot-put and ran long- distance runs. It was hard work but we enjoyed it. There’s also a big gold trophy in the gym recognizing the Dukettes for their state Championship. After all, you don’t really know your abilities until you get out in the field, practice and find out. ABOVE LEFT: Lewis Crews takes first place in the long jump. ABOVE RIGHT: Placing first, second, and third in the 880 yard dash are Sandra Trent, Pam Trent and Denise Mounce respectively. RIGHT: Jeff Morris uses the backward technique on the high jump.
