A c a CAniAr fKir nart raac<a*? a# nj u jviuui lino pcui 3VCUUII ai Reynolds High School, Ann set school records in four different events in track and field and also was a starter on the Lady Demons basketball team. More recently, as part of the ChevRelay track team, Ann came away from the AAU Junior Olympic Regionals with two gold medals and a pair of silver medals. Her accomplishments at the AAU Regionals look even more impressive when you consider that she was hampered by a hamstring pull that has been slow to heal. Despite the injury, Ann set her personal best in the triple jump (38'9"). "I feel that Ann is the best allaround female athlete in the city," says Jerry Riley, an assistant coach with the ChevRelays. "I've been working with Ann for four years now and I haven't seen an athlete in the city who could do as many things as well as she~ does. "When she first started, Ann didn't really realize how good she could be," Riley says. "Now that she has won some major competitions and gone up against some Quality competition.

Since taking up track as a seventh-grader, Ann has improved steadily. At first she ran track just because her sister, Teresa, now a volleyball, basketball and softball player at Winston-Salem State, was active in sports. "My sister had a lot of track records that she was really proud of," says Ann, explaining why she took up the sport. "We have a rivalry between us and we compete a lot, so it was kind of natural that I would try to do some of the same things she did and do better at them." Another reason Ann says she started running track was to be able to meet new people and travel 10 participate in meets. "1 like to stay active and do exciting things," she says. "I get bored very easily, so I'm always involved in something." Ann's everyday routine is more than the average person might want to deal with. She goes to work about 9 each morning at the Kimberly Park swimming pool, where she works as a lifeguard. When she gets off work at 6 p.m., Ann is off to track practice on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Most weekends during the summer she travels to and , from track meets.
