PEHEM Holds "Jump Rope for Heart" By Marty White Sports Editor The Physical Education and Health Majors Club (PEHEM), led by Nell Griggs, held their annual Jump-Rope for Heart last month. According to Griggs, 52 people participated in the event which raised over $900. The jump-roping took place in the Paul Porter Arena with each team having at least two members jumping at all times. The participants jumped for 100 consecutive minutes to the sounds of popular music, which was pumped through the gymnasium’s PA system.

On Saturday, April 11, a 4-mile walk will be conducted in Uptown Shelby near the old courthouse on the court square. The walk-a-thon will begin at 9 a.m. RHA is working towards getting a van to leave the school at 8 a.m. Transportation will not be a problem for students who sign up to participate. The desired goal is getting 60 people from GWC to participate. Only 35 have signed up, as of publication. The deadline for sign-up is April 8. The theme for the walk-a-thon is 'Walk America for Healthier Babies," so put on your walking shoes for safer little ones. Sports Briefs Jules Springs was recently named to the NAIA Honorable Mention All-American Team. The senior from Charlotte finished his two-year career at GWC with 1151 points. He was also named first team All-SAC and All-District 26, after the 1991-92 season. Men’s basketball coach Jim Johnson was named SAC Coach of the Year in only his second season with the Runnin’ Bulldogs. This is a well-deserved honor. The baseball team is off to its best start in years. The Runnin’ Bulldogs have posted a 13-12 (5-7) record. Pitching has been the strong point for the Dogs thus far in the 1992 season. The staff is led by Steven Hodge, Chris White and Darren Wilson. Offensively, Terry Wright, Andy Collins and Doug Jones deserve mention. The Lady Bulldogs softball team is off to a great start this season. Presently the record is 7-7 (4-4). The conference record is very important because only the top four teams make the conference tournament. Lisa Mathis was named SAC Softball Player of the Week for her efforts in the Lady Bulldogs wins over Catawba last week. She had four hits, two triples and four RBIs. The lacrosse team is having a fantastic season in its first year of action. The Runnin’ Bulldogs have staged major victories over such NCAA Division I teams as Auburn, Pitt, and West Virginia. ***** The Lady Bulldogs tennis team was on a three-match winning streak at one time, defeating Newberry (5-4), UNC-Asheville (9-0), and Lenoir-Rhyne (5-4). Already the team has more wins than last year, and Coach Brenda Halford feels that there may be more wins down the road. tpizzT! buffet CoHTfECTIOn SUNDAY 115 East Dixon Blvd., Shelby THRU NOW AVAILABLE - SUB SANDWICHES! y RSDAY Get One $1.00 OFF WITH THIS AD *Docs Not Includc Buffet* 11 to 2PM & 5 to 9PM
