TRACK Seven Qualify For Regional Meet While other students were beginning to enjoy spring and warm weather, the Girls' Track team members were working out every afternoon. But it all paid off as they had seven regional qualifiers in five different events. Some qualified in more than one event. District competition was delayed because of rain, rain, and more rain. But UIL rules forced competition to begin on May 16. The events began during torrents of rain but ended amid rays of occasional sun, mixed with misty rain. In the mile relay, Jan Horton, Lufanda Sauls, Sharon Sauls and Stella Richerson won second in district. In district competition also, Angela Davis, Jan Horton, Pam Shaw, and Felicio Mitchell won second in the 440-yard relay. The 440-yard relay team captured fifth in regionals. An individual winner was Felicia Mitchell who captured second in both the 80-yord hurdles and the 100-yard dash. She went on to capture third in regionals in the hurdles and fifth in the 100-yard dash. In the 440-yard run, Stella Richerson captured second in district and fourth in regionals. The team won third in district behind first place Lanier and second place Anderson.

This was the case for Reagan's female lobbers. The Raiders used the year primarily to gain experience and build a predominately inexperienced, young team. High hopes are in order for next year's team as all but one or two of the girls will return for a highly competitive year. Competition was stiff for the team as two of the girls, Debbie Barker and Pat Hernandez proceeded to Semi-Finals in the Georgetown and Killeen Tournaments. The entire team competed in many Tournaments throughout the year such as the Georgetown, Killeen, and AISD, along with district meets. Coach for the long lobbers was Miss Jean Collard. Managers for the team were Caroline Monsell and Tracey Wilson. TENNIS
