In track, all you have to do is put a little gp When track season rolled around one of the most ex- cited groups in the school was the girl's track team. None could wait till the first track meet. 'Tm looking forward for another win in district and then back to Austin for a try at the cham- pionship, quoted Michelle Smith, who ranks in the top 10 in the state in the long jump, We all are real ex- cited.

The girls encour- aged each other to reach their individual goals and this brought the team closer together. I feel we are go- ing to be as good as last year's team because we are a lot closer, stated Sonja Smith, I think we will take more people to regionals and state this year. TAKING THE RIBBON . . .

Keeping in shape is the key, and power lifing is what makes ec worthwhile. Tough and down to the point was how this year's powerlifting team was de- scribed. Strong, hardnosed, weightroom bums, that worked hard all year trying for a spot in Austin. nl think we are as strong as anybody around her and a lot better than last year, excalimed David Hays. The team, despite the loss of the many heavy weight entrants, continued the im- age of a powerful team. The boys give the credit to their coach Tommy Horton who pushes them to excel. s'He demands a lot and expects us to be totally dedicated and gets upset when we're not, but he also let's us know when we do goodg he's like a father to us, stated David Hays. Opponents have al- ways respected the team our school sends because even our small guys are impres- sive. All of the team mem- bers spent the extra tiime that made them stand out and have younger people look up to them. We are coming along strong and we are working real hard, as a team, said Gary Howard.
