194 A season no one expected The girls varsity track team had an ex- cellent and fast paced season with many highlights. One was winning the annual Ray-Pec Invitational for the first time. The girls came in first over nine teams with 107 points. Sandy Cummings set a rec- ord in the 200-meter dash, won the long jump, the 100-meter dash and the 440 yard dash. Julie Dean, Angela Bradford, Amy Files and Christy York all set personal bests in their respective events. Janell Armstrong got first in the half-mile and fourth in the long jump; Michelle LaPlant in the half-mile and Teresa Neidlinger third in the two-mile. Another highlight was placing second in the West-Central Conference behind Harri- sonville. Sixteen of the girls had their per- sonal best times or distances and under- class girls scored 50 of the teams 70 points. iFWe can look to the futurej, Coach Arnall said. The next highlight was winning the 13-school Missouri Class 3A District Meet Monday, May 19, at Warrensburg with Sandy Cummings leading the Panthers in 10 events into the State Sectional meet. Cummings won the 100-meter and the 400-meter and placed second in the 200-meter and the long jump. Sophomore Janell Armstrong won the 800-meter and ran on three relay teams that advanced. The 3200 relay team and the 800 relay team both placed third and the 1600 relay team placed fourth. Teresa Neidlinger placed second in the 1600-meter arid the 3200-meter. The girls then went on to the Sectionals, which were held at Raytown South High School. There, Cummings qualified for the State meet in the 100, 200, 400 and the long jump; Armstrong in the 800 and Neidlinger in the 1600. At the State meet, Armstrong placed third in the 800-meter run and Neidlinger placed sixth in the 1600-meter run. 0n the first day of competition, Cummings quali- fied for the finals in all her events, but the next day she pulled a muscle and fell in her first event, the 100-meter dash. She wasnit able to compete in the rest of her events because of this injury. All in all, the girls had one of their best seasons in a long time, and proved that Ray-Pec cannot be left in the dust. Junior Amy Files pushes herself to finish the last two laps. Teresa Neidlinger is the leader of the pack at track meet.
