TRACK DEEP CONCENTRATION ASSISTED WILLIE MILLER IN EXECUTING EVERY JUMP. Young Track Team Achieve National Records ForRelays Young, but proven the most versatile sprint- ers of the three-year period, the Cougar track team again achieved the best times in the na- tion for both the mile and 880 relays. Posting the time of 3 minutes, 15 seconds for the mile, and 1 minute, 27.2 seconds for the 880 relay were Larry Black, Darrell Simmons, Kenneth Thompson, Porter Tompkins, and Robert An- derson. The quintuplet, who ran interchanga- bly in both races, had also achieved the best times for the two relays in the previous year. Relays were only a part of the action, as there were fourteen other track and field events in which the team competed. The Miami-Dade South track field was host to the team's action. Practice and determination paid off as the team traveled to the University of Florida to com- pete in the State Meets. Under the guidance of Coach Leroy Daniels, the team compiled a record of four wins and two losses in the single competition with other schools. In the large invitational meets, the team averaged a third place position among a field of more than twenty teams. At the sea- son's end, the team was ranked among the top, N fabovej Determination and proper style was evident when discus-thrower James Oliver practiced before competing against Northwestern. Qleftj Irving Hanna dis- played consistency as he 'put it to them' while at the team's home course.
