Lucille Carson’s the pride of Peabody While many students enjoyed a summer of rest and relaxation, Lucille Carson enjoyed a summer of hard work and travel to work toward her goal of competing in the Olym- pics in 1984. The first stop for Lu- cille was McPherson, Kansas, where she won the 800 and 400 meter runs. The next stop was Wichita State, the state meet, where again Lucille won the 800 and 400. She proved her ability in the Missouri Valley Meet in Liberty, Missouri, win- ning the 800 and placing second in the 400. Even though she won in Mis- souri, it looked as though it might be the end of the race for Lucille. Traveling finances had run out. Area people showed their support and pride with window Dosters and enough do- nations to enable Lucille to continue her running. The gun sounded, and Lucille was off again, this time to Wake Forest, North Carolina. Lucille competed here for the first time with girls of all age levels, rath- er than only with her own age group. In the 400 meter Lucille didn’t make finals, but in the 800 meter Lucille finished fourth in the nation. Just like all of the hard work Lucille does to reach many of her goals, she works hard to keep up her grades. A determined look on Lucille's face shows just how much concentration it takes to be a winner. 4 w 0 • • 0 «6 • Proudly displaying her various sixty- junior and senior track seasons in which three awards and medals from her two she hopes to further her goal of compet- year career, Lucille looks forward to her ing in the 1984 Olympics.
