The school year began earlier than ever before, and the football season opened in August. By the time summer was officially over, MUS had been in full operation for over a month. The Booster Club ' s Calendar of Events was fuller than ever before; and the second quarter was marked by legal-size announcement sheets. Never before had MUS been the center of so much activity. Participating in some of these events and supporting others, the MUS student devoted much of his free time throughout the year to MUS happenings.

On a hot spring day in mid- afternoon, a worn-out MUS track shoe and partially used roll of athletic tape lie as unmistakable evidence of the many dreaded afternoons of pre- season practice. Lunging forward with a burst of power, Chuck Chambers shoves outward the sixteen pound shot. Track Team Takes Big Ten And Harding Invitational Titles Thinclads Compete In Five Regional Events Led by Coach Peters, Coach Keesee, Coach Kuhl, and seven seniors, the 1975 track team captured first place in the Big Ten meet and the Harding Invitational, second place in the East Memphis Classic, and third place in the District track meet, finishing vv ith a 3-1 season mark. Cliff Hunt, vi ho vvras named the team ' s MVP, led the team in individual scoring with 64 points. Cliff ' s best time in the two-mile run was 10:14.2 during the Harding Invitational. Cliff represented MUS in the two-mile run at the Regional meet. Second in scoring was co-captain Pat Moore with 62 points. Pat set his season ' s shot put mark at 46 ' 6% during the East Memphis Classic, and his longest discus throw sailed 141 ' 8 against Millington. Also strong in the discus was Eric Eilertson. Eric qualified for the regional meet by making his best throw of 1337% at the District meet. Another key to the success of the team was Bruce Bolton, who participated in the 440 relay, the mile relay, and the 180 yard low hurdles. Bruce ran his best low hurdle time, 20.9, in the Big Ten meet. Co-captain Kevin Reed was likewise indispensable to the team. Reed long-jumped, ran the mile relay, and ran either the 440 dash or the 880 run. Kevin ' s best effort was an 880 time of 2:01.9 against Bolton and Central. Kenny Kyle, another co-captain, went to the Regional in the 880. Kenny ' s best mark in this event was 2:01.9 in the East Memphis Classic. The mile and two-mile relay teams proved themselves strongest of all, however. The teams consistently placed high throughout the season, and both participated in the Regional V track meet. 12 SPRING SPORTS
