Mackey 4th in low hurdles he boys varsity track team placed fst at the Thunderbird Invitational and 2nd in the Thornton and Bloom Trail lnvitationals as they opened the season on a powerful note. The season continued well as the team comprised a con- ference record of 3-3 and a dual meet record of 9-3. Al- though the conference record was split, the teams placed in the top five in each invita- tional. We tried to go into each invitational as if it were the state meet, which made us stronger than the other com- petition, stated Michael Bayr, junior. Some strong individual per- formances in conference were turned in by Fred Neal, 1st in conference in the 800-meter run, Stevie Blasingame, 1st in the shot put, and Daryl Foster, tst in the long jump. The team took 5th in confer- ence against Thornton, the Top: Junior Michael Beckham re- ceives last minute correction in shot put from Coach Terry Kennedy.

Mackey, the only one to place at state, took 4th in the 300-meter low hurdles. Even though the team wasn't ranked high in state their presence was felt. Se- peczi stated, For our being such a small team, I felt that we left an impression or an im- pact on the tough teams, such as Thornton and Bloom Trail.
