Teamwork was the name of the game as the 1982 boy's and girl's track teams came into action. Officially starting the season in March, Coach jay johnson and David Cromer saw devoted team members spending their days of winter jogging and lifting weights to get in shape for what they thought would be an excellent season. Records broken this year were not just ordinary record breaking feats. The 165 meter hurdles were broken early in the season by sophomore Andy Amor. After Amor had set the school record, Frank Martin came back and broke it again with an even better time. Martin was also attributed with break- ing the 100 meter dash late in the season after it had earlier been set by Dean Whippo, on his first time running the event this year. Girls were not immune to the situation, though, as the mile relay team, consisting of Bannon Hightower, Shannon Webster, Patty Webb, and Tonia Bennett, showed track team mates and enthusi- asts their stuff. This record was broken at the first home meet and like the boy's, later in the spring by the same relay team. Seven members were enthralled when their hopes of going to the state track meet in jefferson City, Missouri, became a reality. Because of their speed and agility at district, seven candidates were nominated to compete in the prestigious event. After the meets were run, happy faces were seen as high placings had been obtained. The boy's track team was led by several seniors, but by only one senior on the girl's team, Ann Amor. Amor proved her leadership and strong track participation as she led the girl's team to high ratings among area schools.
