Mauldin's Boys fly to State Playoffs Boys' Track was an All for one, one for all sport in 1986. To win, it took both team as well as individual victories. Showing their months of hard work and practice, the Mavericks became undefeated as they worked toward the state championships. We worked hard to get what was needed to win state, said Chris McPoland. Individually the Mavs had four state finalists. Chris Walker placed first in the 100 meters. Mike Cason, senior runner, placed third overall in the 1600 meters. Sammy Dix- on finished sixth place in the long jump in Columbia. As a team the Mavs fin- ished their season as Region champs and state runnerups. Head Coach Delmer Howell, who was very pleased with his team's performance, said, The team did very well con- sidering our size. The 1986 state meet was Delmer Howell's last. He planned to retire from both Mauldin's track and cross- country teams. With three re- gion championships and three county championships, Coach Howell worked with the running teams for three years. My standards are too high for the current system, said Coach Delmer Howell. Although seven members of the '86 track team graduat- ed, the Mavs still expect great things from the team. Joey Pinckney, whose 47 feet 8 inch jump was the state's best, said, Next year we'll have a lot of people with tal- ent, but grades will be a prob- lem. If everyone makes the grade we'll have as good a team as ever. Diana Thompson A herd of turtles? Mauldin senior Sammy Dixon hands off to junior Joey Pinckney in the 4x4O0 meter relay.

Traditionally high school team participants were limit- ed to the student body, but this year eighth graders were allowed to compete on the track teams. Samantha Clark and Tina Floyd, both from Hillcrest Middle School were recommended by their gym teachers to Coach Frye. They really showed their stuff in competition. They were great, said Ashley Matthews. The Maverick's strongest events were the long distance events. Dana Purser, Nancy Cason, and Diane Farrington led the way as the Mavs showed other schools in the state why Mauldin was one of We wanted to go worked diligently am, consisting of 19 a . . - I d the best. Our long distance pulled us through and showed the competition who we were, said Ashley Matthews. Losing only to Westside, the Lady Mavs were state run- nersup for the second year in a row. Coach Frye said, The Greenville County meet was the most exciting meet for the girls because we came away with first place. I think the credit goes to all the girls. It takes a total team effort to score points. Most of the girls plan to return next year, and are looking forward to a pro- ductive season. Diana Thompson GM ' Tuck 125
