Trackers Run Proud To Finish Line Practice makes perfect as many peo- ple say, and this year's girls track team proved the statement right. Coach Kirchberger and fifty girls helped to make the season a successful one. With determination, skill, and practices ever- yday, how could the team go wrong? l feel everyone should have a chance to take part with the team if they deserve to, commented Coach Kirchberger. Sabine girls track had a quality no other team had enough of-talent. It took more than talent, though. The team worked hard, and fun, and gave it their best shot. These Sabers had ex- pectations of doing things better, and, self-improvement. The track team held practices after school everyday before the season even started. They worked hard to per- fect their hurdle jumps, shot put throws, and the other skills that the Sa- bino girls track is known for. All the preparation and effort was required for their first meet on February 28, when Sabine demonstrated their great per- formance for all to see. Track is an individual sport. Mem- bers of the team worked on their indi- vidual needs and accomplishments, yet these Sabers never forgot team unity. Together, as a team, they made Sabino stand proud as they ran to the finish line. By lackie Englert Photos By Larry Warner I i l t l l. l.
