At a time when our track program seemed to be going down hill, the leadership and dedication of these two young men became an inspiration to the rest of the team. Because of their efforts, the returning team will have a good foundation to begin work with. - Coach Loy Dorsey. The boys track team began the season with hard work and determination to make a good showing in district. To prepare and develop their skills, they participated in quite a few pre-district meets. The meets at Allen, Frisco, Wylie, Grand Saline, and Trinity Christian seemed to serve their purpose because the Pirates placed fourth in district at Allen. Brian Chaney qualified for regional in the discus and Jimmy Franks qualified in the 400 meter. In addition, Robert Franks set a new record in the 300 intermediate hurdles. Track 4 85

Ladies Time It Just Right To come it came naturally, to others it proved to be a task. The girls track team proved themselves to be naturals when they excelled in meet after meet. To prepare for that all important district meet, the team competed in several pre-season events at Frisco and Wylie. All of the practice and hard work paid off when the girls swept District, winning with 141 points. Addi- tionally, ten members qualified for Regional: Tracey Mit- chell, Dee Dee Winfrey, Chris Langston, Sherry White, Kristi Robinson, Stacy Ellenburg, Beth Brewster, and Julie Hoffman. On the Regional level Sherry White qualified to compete in the State competition. Working equally as hard to perfect their skills and speed was the Junior Varsity team. By competing in the pre- season meets, the girls sharpened their skills enough to place second at the District meet with 150 points. Win- ners of ribbons were: Lori Ellis, Debbie Winfrey, Kim Reed, Susie Gaylor, Melissa Duncan, Melissa Barry, Mary Jo Helmberger, Alice Dunlop, and Dana Cooper.
