AND THEY’RE OFF .. . The sound of pounding feet became familiar as the track season got off to a late start in January for the 1982 season. There were thirty-five return- ing juniors and seniors with only five new faces from the sophomore class. The practice sessions were every day after school for two hours, with the boys working hard on all aspects of their sport. The expectations for a good team this year were high with Coach Perkin's prediction for placing in the top four teams of the county. The team's two toughest rivalries were Hillsborough and Brandon who have always given King a run for their money. Some of the outstanding seniors in track are Danny Bean, Derrick Gaines, Carlos Johnson and Steve Griffin. Some of the events that King excelled in were sprinting, vaulting, jumping, distance running, shot putting and hur- dling. The dedicated boys on the track team worked to be the best in all events, thus bringing more pride to our school. kwicou Tim Godfrey, Harry DcReus. and Mike Funk ai long-lasting members of the miter squad.
