Trackmen win Southport Relays; post 14-2 season The 1978 track team compiled a 14-2 record last spring. Coach Moe Moriarty said winning the first Southport Relays was a highlight of the successful season. Feeling that we could really benefit in the future by winning the first running of the relays, we worked hard on the event and we did win it, said Moriarty. Four teams led at four different times during the event, but as the coach said, Manual led when it was over. Moe really worked us, and he had all of trying our best for the Southport Relays. He helped us a lot, and it paid off by our winning the event, said Benny Akers. Akers added winning the relays was the high point of the season for him. Five varsity track records were tied or broken over the 78 season. James Hall, who shared Most Valuable Trackman honors with Dave Miller, tied the 100 yard dash record, and set his own in the 220 and 440 events. Vernon Dotson set a new discus record with a throw of 158 feet. Bill Brown set a new low hurdles record of 41.4 in the 330 low hurdles event. Coach Moriarty said the 79 track season looked promising as only nine members of the 78 team graduated. Bobby Davidson strains to clear the bar in the high jump. Davidson returned as a junior for the 1979 season.
