Burnkinsw Teach Charlotte chools A Lesson East Gaston Surprises Everyone In Conference, Only To Come Up Short. The 1987 boyis track team had a season filled with vic- tories and hard fought losses. Many outstanding perfor- mances were shown by this team. Robbie Hart led most of the sprinters to fine finishes against some tough Charlotte schools. Kelly Collins showed the way by leading the distance runners in many of the relay meets. The field events were espe- cially strong with Baron Brown at the high jump, Austin Faile throwing the discus, and competing in the long and triple jump was Harold Sanders. Many of these and other athletes qualified for the sectionals and made it as far as the state meet.

Coach Robert Keaton, Amy White, Debbie Hodges, Jennifer Rudisill, Coach Eddie The Girl's Track Team was small in number but that didn't stop them and it didn't get them down. All the long practices and hard work was repaid to them when they were able to cap- ture second in the Gaston County meet. The competi- tion was tough and being the underdog didn't make it any easier. Many of the girls had to compete in numerous events sometimes one right after another. Congratulations Lady Warriors!!
