Girls Had Slow Start Girls' Track began with a problem every runner dreads, a slow start. A lack of interest was a major problem the team had to come to grips with. The girls practiced with the boys at the Turner track after school. With the exception of the pole vault and javelin throw, the girls' team competed in the same events as the boys' team. An event in which the girls competed and boys did not was the softball throw. Debbie Hart, junior, set a new school record of 206'4 in the softball throw. Shin splints, blisters, and all the other pains experienced by tracksters were felt by the girls. The team of Cheryl Hamilton, Kandy Roth, Yvette Martiny, and Jeanette Harris broke the school record for the 880 yard relay with a time of 1:49 . 4.
