A gun shot set track OFF AND RUNNING n the ground, running around in the air, every- where. The track team was faster than speeding bullets and able to leap tall hur- dles in a single bound. The shot of a gun triggered the team ' s spiked, winged shoes that flew them to success. The girls ' team finished the season with a first place trophy from the Lady Longhorn Relays and a second place finish at the JV District meet. They excelled in all events from shotput and discus district champ, Paige Ashley, to high jumper Angela Thompson, down to all the relay, dash, and run winners. Knowing people from school, friends, and family are watching me makes me want to do well, Christen Campos said. She competed in 800 relay, mile relay, 400 meter run, and the long and triple jump. With Jason Scott as the district dis- cus champ, and Chris Kent undefeat- ed in the 110 high hurdles, the boys ' team couldn ' t help but succeed also. They received first place in the 14- AAAA JV District Meet as well as the Mesquite and Rockwall Relays. We were successful this year be- cause we worked really hard at prac- tice, Jason Mollis said. On the way to a third place win, Sherryl McCullough flies over a hurdle. She was one of the many students who excelled in track.

They supplied the RIGHT - STUFF All year in first and sixth period sports it was the basic routine for athletes. Coach Sarah Wolfskin, along with her ath- letic trainers, would begin the periods taping everything from wrists to feet. Trainers had to spend time be- fore and after school to make sure athletes were given the best of care during practices. They did a good job and they never failed to be around when we needed them, freshman football player Jason Letkey said. Sophomore trainer Val Rowland said, The job isn ' t hard; it ' s the time and dedication that count. Coaches, like trainers, had to spend time before and after school going over technique to make sure the athletes received proper training. Coaches worked hard to get athletes to be the best they could be. The sports season was a very productive one — definitely a good start to a winning tradition, football coach Todd Graham said. (Rod Washington) Present at the last pep rally of the season, coaches John Hicks, Greg Carpenter, Todd Graham and Ted Nowell observe ac- tivities In the gym. Coaches played a major role in lifting the spirits and morale of the student body as w ell as the athletes.
