However, Mr. Binkley, Coach, felt that it was going to be a good year, and his positive thinking paid off. The girl's had a record of 14 wins and 1 loss. They placed fifth in the Bellevue, Lloyd, and Boone Co. lnvitationals. Also, they placed fifth in the Confer- ence. Although they were de- feated in the state tournament, they did place first in the reg- ional. Track is a sport which brings to the students an opportunity for them to show their leader- ship qualities in this area of competition. These athletes can bring their talents to the front; especially a Small girl who may not be capable of playing basketball or volleyball but can show her talent by running, jumping, and throw- ing. No particular event brings out leadership in the girls more than the others. It is strictly up to the individual. Sheri Raisor was one who showed this qual- ity. She had a factor which helped to unify the team. Melody Wolfe led the team with her drive to do better and her fine attitude. Brenda McKinstry set an example to her teammates by her positive attitude and her efforts to at- tempt every task. Mr. Binkley commented, I think all the girls showed fine leadership. They worked hard and won and gained much respect from people. Mr. Binkly said, The only improvements lld like to see made in the upcoming team is a refining and perfecting of techniques. The talent is there; we just need to develop it further.
