I Sports Spotlight Relays' th By DAVID BULLA Chronic^ Sports Editor CHAPEL HILL - Introducing Danita Roseboro, Tammy Brown and Carmen Squire, three Winston-Salem track standouts you probably haven't heard a whole lot about. But remember the names Roseboro, Brown and Squire. They'll be around for a while and are destined to accomplish a whole lot. Roseboro, a rising sophomore at North Forsyth, was the fastest sprinter in the county during the spring until she hurt her foot. Brown, a rising sophomore at Glenn, finished sixth in the 400 meters at the state high school / meet in Raleigh. She also com/ petes in the triple jump. Squire, yet another rising soph, was good enough to be Parkland's track and field MVP as a freshman. Instead of laying low this summer, these three runners are trying to get yet another step ahead of the field. Roseboro anchored .L> O'a- n - me i win ^ny Kciays winning intermediate girls 4x100 relay in the Amateur Athletic Union Region III meet last weekend at UNCChapel Hill. She also took second in the 200. Meanwhile, Brown didn't have quite as good a time of it, failing to qualify in her main event for the nationals next month in St. Louis. Brown was slowed considerably by a severe muscle pull in her left calf. After the 400, she left the the track with assistance. Earlier, she had guaranteed herself a trip to St. Louis with a second in the triple jump. In all, 23 Relay athletes fld. vanced to the nationals, which will be held at Washington University. It is amazing that Roseboro, Brown and Squire have come so far so fast. Like all Forsyth County middle-school students, they werfc without*, an interscholastic athletic program. But each made excellent showings at the Twin City Relays' invitational meet at Wake Forest last year. "When 1 saw them, I knew we had to have them both/' Relay Assistant Coach Jerry Riley said. "I pulled Tammy to the side after I saw her stride. 1 knew Danita's sister Sharon and that was enough to convince me she could help us. "All three have tremendous natural talent. I knew they were winning on that, but they could be even better if they learned the techniques." Already, Roseboro and Brown have caught the eye of St. Augustine's Coach George Williams, who oversees one of the strongest NCAA Division II track and field programs. Williams has recruited Relay talent before, landing Ann Hall three years ago. Roseboro and Brown have arrixjmri tn tUmir *1TV%* ?V UIVU pi VlltlllVlli piHVVO Hi youth trac^k by different routes. Roseboro began running when she was in kindergarten, winning a field day contest and then competing in a youth meet at Winston-Salem State. Brown, on the other hand, did run a year at Philo Middle School before the county discontinued interscholastic athletics. She didn't pick it up again until she competed in the WFU invitational meet for juniors last year. Roseboro sees herself following in the footsteps of her sister, whose school record in the 100 she broke as a freshman. "My father (Curt Roseboro) wanted me to try softball," said Danita, whose personal best in the 100 is 11.6. "But 1 wanted to run because of my sister. I . wanted to do the same thing she did." But Danita is already outdoing 'her sister, winning North's track MVP as a freshman. As good as Sharon was, she never won the school MVP. Brown is not so picky; she just knows she wants to go to college. She's a no-nonsense person who frankly admits that every race ex* acts its price. "I used to run the relays and 1 'V S reesome risinj ? Dan it a Roseboro took second ir the Twin City Relays' winning 4) meet (photo by James Parker). the 100," the 5-foot-6, '116-pound Brown said. "Coach Riley asked me to run the 400^1 wasn't sure because the 400's a sprint, too, and it's 300 meters more than the 100. \ "My legs used to hurt some after the 100.

She took second in the long jump last weekend and ran the third leg of the winning 4x100 relay. The Relay senior girls also turned in a strong showing in the Region 111 meet. Tara Mascuilli ""captured the high jump wirtr~a? leap of 5-2 and ran the second leg of the winning 4x100 relay. Saundra Harrison qualified for the nationals in the 200, Melissa Harris in the long jump and Kelly Macy in the 3,000. Seven senior boys advanced to the nationals, head by Steve Kelly in the javelin and 110f hurdles. Others qualifying were James Gordon (long jump), Allan Johnson (400 hurdles) and Kerry Samuel, Darrell Wright, Jasper Robinson and Junior Robinson in the 4x100 relay. The Relays' twins, Kyle and Brant Armentrout, split in the distance events for the junior boys. Kyle took the 3,000, with Brant third. Brant won the 1,500, with Kyle second. Jatarsa Hayes was third in the junior girls' long jump.
