I 2 X , IR f ,fs W ,M ' y '1 'L '4 505-.-ffl: Ll Record Breaking Season he thrill of victory, the ag- ony of the feet, was well known to the 1987 track team. Many records were broken be- cause the athletes were willing to push themselves a little far- ther and work a little harder in practice to prepare for a meet. Darryl Jackson went that extra distance to set a new school long jump distance of 22'1 , Andre Gaston leaped to a new record of 46'6V2 in the triple jump, Harvey Archie raced to a new record in the 400 meter dash, and Anthony Britton outlasted the competi- tion to set a record in the 800 152 X Men's Track meter run. In the 800 and 1600 meter relays, two teams set new school records for moving the baton around the tract. Brian Steele, Adrian Steele, Jasper Cuthrell and Harvey Archie won the state title in the 800 relay with a school and county record of 1:28.82. It was a good year for the track team even though the team was young and inex- perienced. Coach Robert Steele recognized his team had a winning combination, We had talented young men who were willing to work hard. Talent and hard work earned them the Ledford ln- vitational Track Meet as all track team members gave their best for the victory. The season ended with the team third in the conference, second in the sectionals, third in the regionals and in the state. It was a season in which the team could take pride. Although many of the record breakers are running in college the team they left behind knows how to overrun the agony of the feet and feel the thrill of victory. Jim Young.
