Crawford Four year veteran Heath Hager showed determination and provided leadership to the small team. Hager's hard work paid oft in his matches. Photo by L.Jones N Determznatzon and Pride lead teams Indoor TraCklWrestling tthe beginning of prac- tice the indoor track team hoped to improve in its second season and the wres- tlers were in the process of re- building a winning team. The wrestling team opened its season with a good turnout, but soon dwindled to six peo- ple. These elite six were chal- lenged by Coaches William Higgins and Lealand Pea- cock. Higgins and I set high standards for our boys to live up to and to help build for the future. commented Coach Peacock. With individual goals set high, they faced opponents knowing they could not win a match but could improve their personal records. Senior Heath Hager provided leader- ship and Sophomores Denny Puckett and Darrin Thomas worked hard to return to the Regionals. Sherman Miller was a standout as he participated in wrestling and he also led the l indoor track team in the pole vault, high jump, and triple jump. Sherman was one of the few athletes who excelled in two sports in the same sea- son. Having a year of experi- ence, the team opened their season in a meet at Chapel Hill and quickly proved how good they were. Thomas Wilson, Miller, Mike Stinson, Adrian Steele, Reginald Barnes, Tarsha Mallet, Jasper Cur- threll, Morris Jones and Brian Steele all qualified for Regional competition. Several records were also set or bro- ken in their other meets. Cuthrell set a school record in the 300 meter with a time of 35.8 seconds then joined B. Steele, Wilson, and A. Steele in breaking a school record on the 4x40O relay. The Cavs have young talent who will continue to contribute to the success of the team. Jim Up and Over! Sherman Miller sets a school record with a jump of 6 feet in the Chapel Hill meet. Sherman also triple jumped and pole vaulted for the team. Photo by T.
