A fa ,af . , Off to a good start! loanne Anderson, one of the top sprinters on the girls' track team, leaves the starting block with intensity and concentration. Concentration is the key, as Helaine Neal prepares to do the high jump. Much skill and con- centration are needed to get the highest jump possible. Keeping pace Staying with the pace was what the girls' track team did. Track season started with early practices in Ianuary with sprinters and distance runners. The girls won districts last year, and I feel this team will be stronger since we have our sprinters back: Ioanne Ander- son, Holly Ackett, and April 0'Berry. In distance we have the Haynie sisters along with Dorothy Rhodes, com- mented Coach Raymond Beal. Practicing gave the team needed time to develop skills. They would practice four days of the week with wind sprints and two and lsometimesl a four-mile run. We won districts with only eight girlsg now we have thirty and I think we can go to regionals and even state, stated Coach lim Cornillaud. GIRLS' TRACK 157
