Making The Hard Work Pay Off In the dictionary track is defined as the athletic events performed on a running track and the field surrounding it. But to the 1979 varsity track team, it meant much more than that. Track meant hours of running, jumping, and throwing. It meant sweating, leg cramps, and pulled mus- cles. And it meant learn- ing to work together as a team. All the hard work eventu- ally paid off as the indivi- duals built themselves a Discussing the progress of the team are coaches; Steve Angle, Benny Gibson, Ned Olinger and Harrison Parker. Beginning the 200 meter dash, Bill Corn and Jay Cuff get off to a good start. 28 Track team they could be proud of. Records were broken and times were im- proved. Bertha Clayborne broke the school record in the long jump. Ty Walker's record breaking pole vaulting sent him to the state track meet. Both the 440 and 880 girls re- lay teams set new records for future teams to break. Also breaking records were Twela Edwards and Dennis Laury. The season’s' record wasn’t the greatest, but the team must have done something right. The boys team finished fourth in the district meet and the girls did even better as they finished third. But the best thing accom- plished by the track team was the sense of unity they developed. The 1979 Varsity Girls Track team consisted of Neysa Angle, Bertha Clay- borne, Jeanne Corn, Twela Edwards, Lori Fos- ter, Kathy Hammes, An- gela Kasey, Sheila Mack, Pe, ™ , a. ee. icg't ao a ae ae 3 i ee: Bonnie Mackenhimier, Bonnie Roop, Gwen Thomas, and Susan Wil- liams.
