The Girls’ Track Team was a young and inexperienced squad with eight underclass athletes on it. Although only one win was recorded for the season, the girls put forth their best efforts in prac- tice and in competition. Two school records were broken — the 3200 m by freshman Leslie Donor, and the 4x100 m Relay, whose team members were Dawn Berry, Jen Blaser, Julie DeNigris, and Samara Perdue. Consistent and outstanding performances were demonstrated by Sarah Fleming and Laurie McNamara. 1. Samara Perdue shows her talents in long jump competition. 2.
