Long, sweaty, hard practices, five and six days a week paid off, as the team rolled on to victories in the county and regional meets. They also made a good showing at the state meet, taking sixth out of sixty- three teams. This was only the second year that the girl’s team had been awarded a varsity letter, and along with this step up, the level of competition rose. The girls feel that they are up to it though. As most of the team will be returning in ' 74, everyone agrees with Paula Girven, voted the most outstanding team member, that something bigger is in store.’’ d Row 1 Lois Grindle, Paula Girven.

OUTDOOR TRACK HAS BEST SEASON EVER Russell Hora gains a mere toehold on the track to victory Ernie Wilson. Dale Jones, and Paul Mahood compete in the 220 To about eighty-three guys at Gar- Field, spring ' 73 didn ' t mean flowers, new green leaves and warm sunny days. To them it meant sore calfs, shin splints and hard work, because those eighty- three guys were trying out for G-F ' s outdoor track team. More guys than Coach Mike Campbell knew what to do with came out for the team, and it looks like this trend will continue in the years ahead. Under Mr. Campbell ' s and Coach Aaron Jordan ' s direction, G-F has become a power to be feared in the D C. area. Gar-Field is ranked along with Edison, T. C. Williams and Cooldige as a top team. In 1973, the outdoor track team took first in the district and regional meets, but failed to place at state. In one of the largest invitational meets, the Tennessee Volunteer Classic, our team took a high third out of 102 teams from all over the south. Student Life 13
