Go! That's how track events start and hopefully they end with a first place ribbon. For some track season began with a two week workshop, getting into shape to tryout for the Girl's Track Team. Thirty girls were chosen for the well earned honor. Track coach Kristy Parnel said these girls had to have special qualities besides the physical requirements. A good attitude is the most important thing, she said. They also need a willingness to work hard and a desire to win. This year's Track Team held true to these qualities. They practiced everyday rain or shine. If the weather was nice they would work outside on field activities such as polevaulting, long jumping, running hurtles, relays, sprints and distance running. Rainy days would keep the girls inside the gym for a different routine. They would have group exercises and work out on various types of weights. Mrs. Parnell made sure not a moment was wasted. The hard work paid off and the Track Team had a handful of ribbons to prove it. Vickie Lively

Double trouble Sophomore Rock Reynolds and senior Mark Bentley play doubles during a tennis match Grand slam - Senior Kurt Pitzer, top player for the tennis team, demonstrates the perfect serve. Players climb the ladder Climbing to the top of the ladder was the goal of each tennis player because the top represented the best. Each player's rank was determined by elimination matches. It's the most fair way because it gives the people at the bottom a chance, coach Terry Garner said. Members of the teams started preparing themselves for matches before the season began by running, jumping rope, working on line drills, and playing elimination matches. During the season, Northeast played all the schools in the Little Rock area, along with Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, and Conway. Team members also played in the state meet held at Fort Smith on May 13.
