The initial squad of the George Wythe Bulldog track team proved to be the “Cinderella team” of the school’s first year as an athletic prowess in the Central District. Full of determination and fight, Coach Dick Ernsberger’s “‘thinclads,” from early January to the latter days of May, without a track, ran through snow, sleet, mud, up hills and splashed through water. Un- deterred, this “team without stars” sped on to a 5-2 dual meet record, placing Wythe fourth among the Richmond Area high schools.

On their return to Westhampton in November for the hockey tourna- ment, amazed officials viewed a team that had become more polished through hard practice and the desire to improve. Carolyn Coleman, co-captain, was chosen as center forward on the Tidewater Reserve team dur- ing this tournament.
