Track girls run, jump Being a young team the girls tracksters look to be more strong in distance than in speed. With state finalists such as Donna Mirani, who throws the shot-put and disc; Forence King, who runs the 100 meter dash; and Christi Pope, who runs the 200 meter dash, this year’s track team looks to win district for the third time in a row. Backing these state finalists are last year’s regional qualifiers: Teresa Pugh, who runs the 400 meter dash; Charlotte Cook, who runs the 1/2 mile relay; and Teresa Barnes, who throws the shot-put. Young ladies to look for will be Trish Young, who will be running relays and long jumps; Staci Barnitt, who will be running short distance; and Stephanie Powell. “With 42 girls running we have enough to have a JV team.” Coach Linda Richards said.
