Track Methods Improve Determination, dedication, and tal- ent led the boys track team to a 9-3 season and their first sectional title in years. Lennie Primm won the high jump and seven others took places. Five boys placed in the regional and five in the city meet. The mile relay team was fourth in the city and set a school record of 3:25.9. State finalist Kevin Barringer broke the long- standing 100 yard dash record with a mark of 9.9, Primm jumped 6 ' 5 1 2 in the high jump, and Mark Broner tied the high hurdle record. Broner and Terry Edwards also qualified for the state meet. The team ' s recent improvement has been due to new training methods and stronger competition as well as talent. New warm-up exercises have helped prevent injuries. Videotaping has helped the coaches recognize areas where athletes need improvement. Better schedules have provided more opportunities to run on hard-surfaced tracks where times are faster. The athletes have been encouraged to work harder and perform better. (Leslie Ann Wilfong) 1.
