When More f'Where's Wendy? , the reply was freqoently1eitlier,5'She's studying, or She's out with friends? often heard reply however was, She's out playing soccer. I have always liked competitive sports. The area we lived in, in South Carolina, had a lot of Europe- ans, so soccer was e. very popular sport.

wif Photos by Rob Harris BACK O TOP After Winning A Conference Title In 1986, The Boyls Track Team Faced A New Challenge ty Kelle Owens Since the big six fGerald Martin, Lussell Tanner, Harvey Sutton, Kevin 'oung, Steve Kelly and Robbie Sipprelll f the 1986 Boy's Track Team were gone, ie 1987 team found itself struggling to irvive in the Central Piedmont 4-A Con- zrence. In 1986 West finished second in the Ci- yfCounty meet, won the conference, fin- :hed 12th in the sectionals, 12th in the zgionals, and eighth in the state. Howev- r, the loss of guaranteed points supplied y the big six challenged the 1987 team J fill in the gaps. Returning letterman included seven All- Ionference players from 1986. Though ew, they contributed their experience to he scoresheet. The running of Riley Muse nd Jeff Piercey, the throwing of Mark Iartner, and the high jumping of Kenny lhouse gave the team insurance in even he toughest of meets. It always eases your mind to know that ou can count on people like Mark Iartner and Shawn Marshall to come hrough with the points every week, espe- ially when you're not feeling so well your- elf, commented Bobby Paige. Paige was a nember of the All-Conference 4x200 me- er relay team in 1986, and an alternate in he 4x100 meter relay at the 1986 state neet held at North Carolina State Univer- sity. Paigels counterpart on the football field became his teammate on the track. Her- man McKinnie was also a member of the 4x100 meter relay team that was ranked second in the state during the 1986 season. Another gridiron great, Dennis Warren, found himself faring well in the spring of 1986. His 400 meter dash time of 55 sec- onds earned him the chance to compete in the Mountaineer Invitational, held for the first time at Appalachian State University. Due to the increased number of partici- pants, 72 boys and 47 girls, many members of both the boy's and girl's track teams found themselves without uniforms. There were only 70 uniforms which both the boys and girls teams had to divide. The reason for this is that track is not a money making sport, no admission is charged for meets, therefore no money is allotted to buy new uniforms. However, both Coach Carter and Coach Craver hoped that as the team continues to grow, so would the supply of uniforms. 1987 was considered to be a time of rebuilding for the boyis track program, and a time of challenge for the partici- pants. In the end, each was satisfied with what he had achieved as an individual, but one goal still remained - to put West back on top in Track and Field.
