Records fall to Moe ' s trackmen with winning habit Anchored by strong individual efforts from each class, Coach Francis Moriarty ' s 1979 tracksters compiled a 1 2-3 ledger. Once you start to win, it becomes a habit, said Moe, who has compiled a 264-80 record during his 23 years as track coach at Manual. Under Moe ' s direction, the ' Skin squad has never had a losing season. Moe cites talented Red- skins and good assistant coaches as the main factors in the team ' s perennial success. According to Moe, not many changes in events have occurred while he has been at Manual, but significant changes have occurred in the equipment field. The all-weather track surface aids run- ners by shaving one or two seconds per lap. The kids seem to like it better and look forward to running on it, said Moe. Use of fiber-glass poles rather than bamboo poles has also improved pole- vaulting performances. A new type of mat has been invented for use with the high jump that is softer than the foam rubber bags formerly used. This change encouraged officials to okay a high jumping techinque called the flop . The flop, talent, and hard work en- abled Allen Meadows, 1 979 graduate, to set a new Redskin record and gain first place in the City with a 6 ' 10 jump. Allen also qualified for the 1979 State meet. Allen ' s record jump and Leon Carter ' s 1:57.2 880 run on cinders in 1962 are two of the special feats Moe has wit- nessed since he ' s been at the helm. He also cites the outstanding performances of Bill Jones in 1965 when he became the only city high school athlete to win three individual events in the City and Sectional meets: the low and high hurdles and the quarter mile. Many Redskin records were set by the efforts of 1979 squad members. In ad- dition to Meadow ' s performance, senior Steve Smith set a varsity two mile record by completing the run in 9:41 . Don Dot- son, another senior, hurdled into the record books by tallying 40.5 for the 330 low hurdles. The class of ' 83 wasn ' t to be denied either, for freshman dashman Richard Davis tied the varsity 100 yard record in 10 flat. Other Redskins placed in the City. Junior Phillip Fingers finished second by high jumping 6 ' 8 . Senior Chris Cross tossed the discus 138 feet for a red rib- bon in City competition. And another senior, Bobby Davidson, pole-vaulted 12 feet to win yet another second place for Redskins in the City. Also of not in the ' 79 season were the performances of the 880 relay team con- sisting of Wayne Hudgins, Mitchell Owens, Carl Mason, and Richard Davis. They placed fourth in Regional action. Moe anticipates another winning season as he surveys the 1980 squad. Allen Meadows, 1979 graduate, flops over the high jump bar in the Southport Sectio- nal, demonstrating the form which enabled him to clear a Redskin record of 6 ' 10 and qualijk for the State meet.
