Being just a sophomore this year, she has a tremen- dous future in track, said Coach Karen Mitchell about Csophomorej Kim Stevens. Obviously this feeling is shared by all the girls track members, as she was voted most outstanding track member by her teammates. Such accomplishments as scoring at least ten points in every meet, and finishing in fourth place or higher on the hurdles allowed Stevens to place in District and go on to Regionals. In District, Stevens tied for second in high jump and placed first in the 800 relay. Kim Stevens 2 Girls Track.
