"1 think it was a pretty good per
formance," Wilds said. "Now I'm
I looking forward to the state meet."
Even though he won both of his
individual events, Wilds said he did
n't clock the times he was hoping to
see in either event. "I wanted to run
la 10.2 in the 100 and 21.3 in the
1200," he said. "I felt that those times
! were ones I could reach."
Still, Wilds said he was proud of
his accomplishments, especially
considering his limited experience.
] Wilds is a late-comer to track
| and field. He only decided to give
1 the sport a try after the start of the
1996 season. Some of his team
mates and coaches convinced him
that he would be a better and faster
football player if he came out for
the track team.
At first he struggled to win. His
time in the 100 hovered around the
11.0 mark and he had trouble
breaking 23.0 in the 200. "At first it
was just for football, but after
awhile I started to get into it," Wilds
said. Because of his competitive
nature. Wilds said he began to put a
lot of extra time into practice. That
resulted in marked improvement.
"I can't stand to lose," he said.
"That's why I started going out and
working harder. I wanted to get bet
ter."
By the end of last season Wilds
had gotten his time down to 10.8 in
the 100 and 22.4 in the 200. That
served as extra incentive for him to
work during the off-season.
When he started running during
the indoor season. Wilds said he
was determined to have an out
standing senior season. He captured
the 55-meter dash in the State
Indoor Meet with a time of 6.3.
That carried over to this spring
when the outdoor season began.
It also motivated Wilds to do
well in the classroom. He has com
piled a 3.4 grade-point average at
North this season and has already
qualified for admissions to college.
He has accepted a track scholar
ship to attend North Carolina A&T,
where he hopes to help the Aggies
continue to be among the Mid
Eastern Athletic Conference's top
track programs He also plans on
majoring in engineering.
"I'm really just beginning to
understand how important acade
mics are," Wilds said. "I didn't do so
well nearly in my career but after I
realized how important it is I start
ed working hard to get my grades
up. This year I've really done what I
needed to do in the classroom."
When he gets to the state meet,
which will be held at UNC
Charlotte next Saturday, Wilds said
he hopes to conclude his career with
two more wins
"I've worked too hard not to be
successful," Wilds said. "When you
work hard you have to be success
ful. That's what 1 expect."

A Tribute To Mv Friends
%>
1 have a message to you, all my friends
My leaving you is not the end.
Though my earthly life was cut short
I sincerely hope my spiritual presence will be with you this day.
I tried to leave with you the things I was taught
Love, patience, joy and happiness.
Will you use these in your life as a symbol of our friendship
As you move forward to rekindle our relationship.
Think of the good times when you wanted to cry,
But something I said made you laugh and up let it pass by.
Remember the game when it was first and ten.
We never gave up because ire wanted to win!!!
We kept the faith and pulled together because we knew
There was a God looking down from heaven.
Now when life puts you on the first and ten.
Just know I am with you always, my friend.
I can not explain why I had to go
But we'll meet again this I know.
/ hope your grief has not stopped your success
For I know all Carver guys are the best.
Do remember me as a friend and God's child
For I know v? e shall meet again in a little while.
* Remember me with joy and laughter
Remember me with smile and tears
Remember me your child, your brother, your friend.
Cry if you must, but just for awhile,
For my God said 'I am his child. "
This is not the end my friend
For I am with my father and a new life has just began.
Be happy for me for I've made it home
I'll be waiting for you my friends... so long!!!
Your friend, your brother, your son

For 25 YearsH?
| Commemorating Mental Health Month |
I Did You Know . . .
Adult Mental Illness accounts for more "sick days" than any disease except for
cardiovascular disease. Each year 28.1% of the U.S. population over 18 - nearly
52 million Americans will suffer from a mental disorder such as:
I ? Anxiety Disorders: Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and
T Phobias - 23.3 Million
1 ? Depressive Disorders: Manic-Depressive Illness -17.5 Million
I ? Schizophrenia - 2 Million
The Good News? Most adult mental illnesses respond to treatment with recovery
rates as high or higher than other medical illnesses.
Forsyth-Stokes Mental Health Center's highly trained staff has responded to our |
neighbors' needs in Forsyth and Stokes counties for 25 years. I
