Carol Ihrig was a sprinter who broke all Friendly records for the 100 and 200- yard dashes, anchored the 440 and 880 relays, and also long-iumped. Debbie Hall ran the mile and the 880. She set records in both events at Friendly and at the County meet. She placed second in both at the' State Meet, and her records were 2:25 for the 880, and 5:35 for the mile. Monica Williams, who ran the 60-yard dash, the 440 and 880 relays, and high iumped, contributed to the team both this year and last. Friendly's team was undefeated in both 1973 and 1974, until the county and state meets. ln 1973, the county and state were considered sports days. Friendly unofficially came in seventh in the county. ln 1974 the team received an official third in county, and an unofficial third in state. This year's track team placed sixth in the county. The girls wound up the season with the traditional camping trip in Bethany Beach and Ocean City. It was the end of a very hard, yet beneficial and enioyable track season.

Qfllfil t railin g GIRLS' VARSITY TRACK Girls' Varsity Track started its 1975 season with practically a brand new team. With not as much beginning talent as in the previous years, the team managed ten wins over five losses and one tie. The two Girl Athletes of the Year, who have been on the team since l973 are Cinda Permenter and Angie Mansfield. At county Angie placed second in the long iump and fifth in the 440 yard dash, while Cinda placed fifth in the 220 yard dash and fifth in the 880 relay. There were two outstanding sophomores: Angie White and Carmen Bailey. Angie placed second in the state and county in the 440 yard dash, breaking Friendly's girl record with a 58.7. Carmen consistently got first in the 440 yard dash, as well as in the 880 and mile relays. She sat out the final three meets of the season because of a leg iniury. The girls' track team has always had depth, because of the large group of girls that come out for the team. For this reason they have been referred to as the ARMY by the other teams in the county. ln l973 there were two outstanding members: Dana Hall and Sue Gagner. Dana set the Friendly girl's shotput record at 37'8V4 , while Sue was the first girl to use the flop iump in the high iump, and set that record at 5'l . A-...,,g, 9 4 .1 yqs .5 I , - .

Last year they won the district championship but lost to Bowie in the County Championship. However, the some record this year was good enough to repeat as District Champions and win the coveted County Championship by beating Crossland 6 to l. Behind seniors Mike Keyes, Ken Taylor, and Rich Bausch, the team finished the regular season tied for first with Crossland with a 9-l record. The county is divided into a northern andsouthern division. Crossland and Friendly tied for the Southern Championship. Friendly won a coin toss and chose to finish second. This decision matched Friendly against Northern Champs Suitland, in the first round of the playoffs. Friendly easily ,won 7-0 and moved on to play Crossland for the District Championships. Friendly won that match 4-3. The next step up on the ladder was High Point in the semi- 'finals for the County Championship. They were victorious, winning 6-l . Friendly then beat Crossland 6-I in the finals for the County Championships. A Individually, Friendly was superb this season. Rich Bausch, the no. 2 singles, finished the year undefeated in 14 matches. No. l singles player Ken Taylor did very well finishing with an l l-3 record. The other two singles spots were filled in by Mike Keyes, who posted a 12-2 record, and Mike Dick who finished with an l I-3 record. Friendly was also supported by good doubles teams. The no. l doubles team consisted of iuniors Mark Laven and Tony Brown. The second doubles team was Andy Herrman and Mark Lavish. Our A.F.S. student Hiroshi Fuiimoto teamed up with Hugh Davidson to finish undefeated in the no. 3 doubles position. Coach Ray Ewing's building process finally paid off as three years of hard work earned the County Championship.
