'ith victory in sight, Tim Fuller leads the field at arland City Invitational. Starting off the season with a first place in the mile relay at Mesquite, the 1977 boys track team proved to be strong competitors. Larry Smith was a regional qualifier in the mile, limmy lonte, in the high jump, and Mike Strong, in the 120 yard high hurdles. These were the only boys to go to regionals since North Garland has been in 4A. Larry Smith was also nominated Most Dedicated. Coach Bill Horn commented, The team was plagued with injuries which kept them from really reaching their greatest potential. Although the team did not win any team championships, many individual awards were won. The 1977 girls track team was a young team with plenty of room for growth. Many of the girls participated in a variety of events to gain more widespread experience. In doing so, they could not concentrate on just one event and this may have hampered their performances. Phyllis Brown qualified for regionals in the triple jump, breaking the school record. Stephanie Funk broke the school record in the discus throw. Ms. Teresa Hudson, the girls team coach, commented, All the girls who participated in track improved immensely throughout the season and we expect much better times in 1977- 78. In closing, Ms. Hudson added, We racked up only a few points, but a whole lot of hustle, determination, and experience! Competing in the Raider Relays, Doug Hinkle clears the first hurdle gracefully. .4 UI GS suodsguu
