Eddit Frias, a freshman en
gineering student, is the recipient
of the 2nd annual 49’er Spirit
Award. This award is presented
by the track team to a member
of the team who “embodies the
spirit of the 49’er: a willingness
to give time and energy, to sac
rifice and to work tor the goal
of a better track team.’’ He has
been honored by his teammates
because he has given the most of
himself with the least thought of
personal reward or glory.’’ Eddie
truly does embody this spirit which
has lead the UNC-C track team
to 2nd place in the DIAC. For
this reason, the Carolina Journal
would like to salute Eddie for
his efforts.
Eddie is a 1967 graduate of
Harding High School and resides
with his parents in Charlotte. He
has also worked with the Carolina
Journal, this year as a sports
photographer.

ferty and Larry McAfee success
fully defended their 440 and 880
championships respectively. Both
bettered their times from last
year. Lafferty won the 440 with a
time of 51.6. McAfee’s 2:01.4 set
last year. Mike Ridge took a third
in the 3 mile run and fourth in
the mile. Jerry Dawson competed
in five events and placed in each.
He finished second in both the
high hurdles and 440 hurdles. He
also ran a leg of the champion
ship mile relay team. Gary Cress,
Larry McAfee, and John Lafferty
completed the team. These same
four ran the 440 relay team which
finished second.
Ben Basinger and Gary Cress
led the field men to an impres
sive showing. They finished first
and second in the triple jump and
second and third in the broad jump.
Basinger competed in five events
and successfully defended his DIAC
triple jump crown with a jump
of 41’8 3/4”. Cress competed
in 7 events and placed in all
but one. The remainder of Char
lotte’s points in the field events
were scored by David Corry and
Pete Donahue. Corry took second
place in the pole vault and fourth
in the shot. His vault of 11’6” tied
his school record. Donahue
finished fourth in the discus, but
took third in both the hurdle
events.
The 49’ers are a much improved
team over last year’s edition. No
team members are graduating so
the team should prove strong next
year. With some added strength
in a few events, the team should
be a strong contender tor the cham
pionship next year.
