Boys ’ Track Team Compiles A Patrick County’s Boy ' s Track Team posted a successful season. Competing in 8 Triangular meets, the team racked up 2 firsts, three sec¬ onds, and three thirds. As individuals, the team members pos¬ sessed many individual wins. When the Dis¬ trict Track Meet rolled around, seventeen members of the squad had qualified to take part in the meet. But, Clay Morris and Willie Younger were the only two of the seventeen to participate. Coached by Phil Dieckhoff, the Track Team produced two outstanding track men. Willie Younger accumulated 128.50 points and set two new records. He also qualified to participate in seven events in the District Track Meet. The Most Valuable Player Tro¬ phy went to him. Dale Foddrell racked up 62. 75 points, second to only Willie Younger. Voted the Most Promising.Member, he set one record and helped to set another. Six new track school records were set this year. These records were set by Terry Spang¬ ler — 440 Yd. Dash; Dale Foddrell — 220 Yd. Dash; Willie Younger — Discus and Triple Jump; Willie Younger, Bennett Rucker, Dale Foddrell, James Hatcher — 880 Yd. Relay; and Ellis Lawson, Ancion Brim, Mike Cooper, Terry Spangler — Mile Relay. Other members receiving Track Certificates were Eddie Antony, Lee Brim, Larry Hawks, Danny Hazelwood, Michael Hill, Wayne Hill, Timmy Rogers, Greg Spradlin, Keith Staples, Gerald Williams, and Benton McAlexander. The coming year will be at a loss due to seven graduating seniors. The team will need new talent, as well as the talent of the twelve returning players. More success is expected from the next track team. Flying through the air, Ancion Brim strives for distance in the Long Jump competition against Laurel Park and Drewry Mason. As a Laurel Park participant looks on, Bill Haimer concentrates on measuring the length the shot was putted. sw
