James Morris James Morris, first year trach coach at SPC, was named National Junior College Track Coach of the Year by the National JUCO Athletic Association. The announcement came as a Surprise to the SPC mentor who “really never expected the award to go toa first-year coach.”’ Less surprised by the award were those who watched several of Morris’ thinclads turn in outstanding performances at Nationals. Alan Moore, a sophomore from Hughes Springs, broke three national marks in winning the 10-event decathlon. Teammate Lance Bingham, a sophomore from Meadow was only 20 points behind Moore, in se- cond place. SPC also took the top three places in the shot put. Sophomore en Matney recorded a winning toss of 55-7. Glen Calvert of Flomot was second and Mike Williams of Olton was third. Dennis Trottier, a sophomore from Quebec, Canada, finished fourth in both the long and triple jumps. Lub- bock Dunbar’s walk-on Ray McNeal took fifth in the 110 high hurdles. Freshman Kevin Lyons was second in the 400-meter hurdles. Overall the team finished in fifth place. James M.
