Un the right track Off and running and staying ahead, the boys' track team kept on the right track. The team started the season with early practices, valuable in attempting to keep an undefeated record as last year's team had. Early practice is dif- ficulty we have so many athletes in other sports, we can't get a true picture of overall strength and weaknesses, stated Coach Dennis Crider. The twenty-five member team had a perfect record last year which was hard to follow. The team this year has very good sprinters: Terry Terrell, Donnell Washington, Leon Wright, Lothario Washington, and Donnell Moultrie, I feel the disadvantage is the distance, commented Coach Crider. Terry Terrell added, We are going to be a strong team, but not as good as we were last year because lHenryJ Byrd, fHaywardl Feaster, and a few others who made a big difference to the team have all graduated. Side by side, Bernard McGriff and Donnell Moultrie run alongside each other during a track practice. Each team member had to run almost every practice in order to get into good shape. Demonstrating his tough endurance, Bernard McGriff paces himself in order to be able to keep going as long as possible. Running long distances takes someone who can pace himself well. 154 BOYS' TRACK www, vw 71 in i M L www .M My 1 , ,., .WM f A WF 'At , ,,- . . me W! ,s:.,2'.

Intense concentration is involved for Lisa Morris doing each hurdle, because one slip on any hurdle could lessen the speed and accuracy of each sprint. K 1 ,v- ...nn .
