LILLIE oe at a Ot eS ee Ho Be Sot ty ee % . or re ee SO Run Faster The boys had it rough. They were District Cham- pions last year and wanted to keep the title, but lost. According to Ms. Tillerson, they did the best they could, but they lost the title to Amelia. They are now rebuilding for next year. The girls all had experience and tried for the Dis- trict Championship. However, they had a few injur- ies and a lack of girls for the team. The girls track team will suffer a great loss next year because eight girls are seniors. “The girls had a geat year,” said Coach Tillerson, “Although they didn’t get the Championship.” ashes vi 1.
