I Coach Zack Broadaway Tunstall’s track scoreboard has shown great improvements, since the school was first organized five years ago. The remarkable feats from the time-kindle runners, hurdlers, and jumpers boosted a record-breaking season. Under the supervision of Coach Zack Broadaway, daily practice sessions were held to keep the Trojans in shape for the track season. From the honors obtained, it seems that the “practice makes perfect” statement came true for the mighty Trojans boys. This year’s honored track stars and their record-breaking fetes were: High Jump— Pete Jones and Melvin Hairston— 5 ft. 3 in. Broad Jump-Pete Jones— 20 ft. 1J4 in. Discus— Burton Phelps— 1 18 ft. 100 Yard Dash— Pete Jones— 10.3 sec. 220 Yard Dash— Pete Jones— 21 .3 sec. 440 Yard Dash— Melvin Hairston— 50.1 sec. Low Hurdles— Pete Jones— 21.0 sec. Mile Relay— Melvin Hairston and Pete Jones— 3 min. 47 sec. 880 Relay— Pete Jones and Melvin Hairston, Sammy Edwards and Allen Wagner— 1 min. 47 sec. This year, also Pete Jones, Melvin Hairston, Swann Fitzgerald, and Sammy Edwards were privileged to participate in the District Indoor Track Meet at Lexington, Virginia. The four Trojans won honors in the 600 Yard Dash, 60 Yard Dash, and the Mile Relay. ’69 Track Team Expects Victorious Season LARRY REED IS trying hard to make a good jump but a “soft impression.” I MELVIN HAIRSTON IS pushing for footage as he tries to break the old jumping record. 96
