HURTING 1981 Track Team Plagued by Injuries Coach Keesee ' s running Buzzards opened with wins over Prep, Kirby, Briarcrest, and Collierville. Against Collierville Keith Christenbury broke the school ' s record for the 330-yard intermediate hurdles with a time of 39.8 seconds. The old 2-mile-relay record of (8.01.6) also fell when Jaden Wells, Judd Peters, Ed Murphey, and David Taylor ran a time of 8.01.8. But at the Harding Invitational, disaster struck. Christenbury sustained a muscle pull. Before mid-season Ed Murphey and David Taylor were also suffering from injuries. With its strongest runners put out of action, the team lost the momentum it had gained earlier in the season. The season was highlighted by two outstanding performances in the Regional meet: Mac McCarroll and Ted Angelakis placed second in the shot and discus, respectively. Mac McCarroll gives the proverbial 110% in this 220-yard race against Wooddale. Scott King painfully hands off the baton during the 440-yard relay finals in the MUS Invitational Meet. He shouldn ' t have done yardwork that morning. ■ ' ' 1 ' mM IB H TRACK vl (3-2) 62 110 Memphis Prep Collierville 75 27 62 Germantown 46 Briarcrest 64 llVi Harding 68 ' 2 4th- 3rd- - Harding Invitational - MUS Invitational 2nd- -SAC-7 8th- - Regional 1981 VARSITY TRACK TEAM: standing Vance Roe, Eddie Murphey, David Taylor, Rick Riggins, Craig Christenbury, Philip Cox, James Rantzow, Mac McCarroll, Scott King, Ted Angelaikas, Tom Owen, Stephen Galloway, Henry Koon. kneeling Judd Peters, Murray Foster, Louis Lettes, Wes McCann, Tommy Poirier, Steve Lawrence, Mark Frazier, John T.
