COACH 1964 VARSITY TRACK Although the 1964 edition of the East Ridge High Track Team often found their season and chances marred by sickness, questionable rulings, and other assorted ills, they still enjoyed their best season yet. Under the competent leader- ship and coaching of Foister Davis, the Pioneer spikemen combined speed, ability, stamina, desire, and spirit to mold a great team. Led by Captains Terry Gamble and'Joe,MclVlahan in their assault against the clock and the tape measure, the Pioneers featured four tremendous relay teams and great speed in the Sprints. In addition to their sixth place finish in the TSSAA State Track Meet at Brainerd, they compiled an outstanding record which included: first in the Knoxville News-Sentinal Relaysg second in the TSSAA District 5 Track Meet and the Times' City-County Track Meet, and third in the City High Invi- tational and the TSSAA Region 3 Track Meet. In addition to the four relay teams, the hopes of the Pioneers were largely dependent upon Odell Hancock, Clark Werner, Mickey Haddock, and Tom Neal. Hancock, in addition to running the first leg on both the 440 yd. and 880 yd. relay teams, broke the 60 yd. dash record of the school by one-tenth of a second with a clocking of 6.5 seconds. Also, Odell proved to be a consistent performer in the 100 yd. dash. Taking first in the hundred in every meet prior to the state meet in which he took third, he clipped three-tenths of a second off the school's century standard, lowering the mark to 10.0 seconds. Clark Wern hacked more than one second off the school's 220 yd. record in his third place effort in the state meet, lowering the stan-dard to an excellent 21.5 seconds. Clark also run- ning key legs upon both the 440 yd. and 880 yd. relay teams, is co-holder of the 60 yd. dash mark with Hancock. Junior Mickey Haddock chopped more than nine seconds from his own mile record, lowering the mark to 41:38.2. He also broke the three year old 880 yd. run record, cutting 1.44 seconds from the standard with a time of 2:02.0. Powerful Tom Neal, a runner capable of competing equally as well in the 100 yd. dash as in the mile run, lowered the schoolis record in the 440 yd. dash from 53.0 seconds to 50.75 seconds. In addition, Tom served as anchor man for the mile relay. l02 l Foister B. Davis
