PAGE FOUR THE CLARION April 2, 1971 Roadrunners Take Third Tennis Team Place In Florida Relays Opens Season The Brevard College “Road runners,” under the direction of Coach Norm Witek, placed a strong third at the Florida Relays held at Gainesville, Flor ida. The track team pooled a to tal of 23 points in a field of 36 junior and freshmen college track teams. Taking first place in the meet with 22 points was Miami-Date South. This team, due to the weather conditions in Miami, has' already reached a peak in its performance abili ty. Last year’s Florida Relays showed the “Roadrunners” on ly scoring 15 points and Miami- Dade South compiling a win ning total of 45. Last year’s Brevard track team, later in the nationals, defeated the power ful Miami - Dade team. A first place in the sprint medley running event went to the “Roadrunners.” The sprint medley team consisted of Del- mus Barfield, Clarence Thomas, Lennox Stewart and Reggie Mc Afee. McAfeei, who anchored the medley race, ran the fast est 880 ever run by a Brevard College track member with a time of 1:51:8. “Jumping” Ed Williams took the only other Brevard first place at the Gainesville meet in the broad jump event with a distance of 22’9”. Williams al so placed second in the triple jump with a jump of 46’ even. Clarence Thomas, Don Good- speed, Reg McAfee and Lennox Stewart placed second in the mile relay with a combined team time of 3:22:1. The track team’s next meet will be held April 7 at Lees Mc Rae. Coffee Held To Honor Teachers An informal coffee in honor of teachers at Brevard and Straus Elementary Schools, who allowed students of Mr. Keith Lathrop to observe and teach in their classes, was held on March 30, at 3:30 p. m. This coffee gave the students, the teachers, and other Brevard College officials an opportuni ty to discuss the program of math study in elementary schools. All concerned felt that the program was a great suc cess., and it is hoped that it may continue in the future. The 1971 Brevard tennis team opened its season last Thursday afternoon with a 5-2 loss to conference opponent Montreat Anderson. This year’s small, five man team consists of four sophomores and one freshman. The squad members are Phil Hess, Mike Faggart, Ernie Sewell, Lyndon Ashworth, and freshman Stuart Bowers. All but Ashworth and Bowers played for the Tornadoes last season. Phil Hess, playing as number one man for Brevard, won his singles match giving the Tor nadoes their only victory in the singles competition. Later Hess joined up with Stuart Bowers to capture a double match. Bowers and Sewell also played close singles matches before losing. The Tornadoes next home match will be held this after noon as they take on Wingate, last year’s conference champion. Wingate, a perennial tennis powerhouse, finished as one of the top three junior college tennis teams in the nation last year. Come out and support the team. ^^ ■ V^ 1. =5 V si Professor Charles R.
