The l985 Boys track team began its season on March 28th with a meet at Moore High. Coach White who has been coaching for several years led the Dragons to become the Runner-up. They were able to finish Ilth in the State. The team was led by seniors Rodney Morgan Spence Shipley Clark Carroll Rod- ney Pitts Doug Sheakley Troy Denson and Walter Francis. Their experience was invalu- able in helping the individual members unite to become a truly competitive team. The many records broken both individual and team are partly a response to the element of senior leadership so important to the success of the team. Their contributions will be missed in the future. The I985 season was a record breaking season. The records broken were: The High jump Mike Bigham the Long Jump Spence Shipley, the I00 meter Eric Bagley, Todd meter. Best of all was the 400 meter relay broken by Willie Hudgins Todd Jenkins Mike Gray and Eric Bagley.

Under a new leadership of Coach Edrington the girls' track team began its season on April 3rd, at a meet at Western High School. The year of coaching track at Doss was a good one for coach Edrington. Members of the track team went to the regionals, 7 went to sectionals, and 2 went to state. The two who went to state were Vonnie Pittman who placed 4th in the 400 meter, and Tonia Rice who placed 2nd in the low hurdles. Unlike the boys track, the girls track team wasn't able to break any school records, but they placed in every meet and won Ist place 4 out of 7 times. This incoming season the team will have 6 returning lettermen. The toughest meets are against Mercy, PRP, and Central. The seniors who led the track were Kim Hill, Vonnie Pittman, Donella Saunders, and , Tonia Rice. Their experience was what helped the track team to become a competi- tive team. The contribution they gave to the team was invaluable to the members of the team. Though they are gone, they will always be remembered and sorely missed. i l GIRLS TRACK TEAM Front Row Left to Right: Tamara Darden, Leanne Anderson, Lucretia Stigall, Traci Pride, Kim Hill, Vonnie Pittman, Jawanna Godsey, Coach Edrington.
