It took a Durham team to edge
the Hoke County Bucks Boy's
Track Team out of a first place
finish last Friday in the Regional
State Track Championship.
The Bucks led the entire meet
until the 800 meter run where
Durham-Hillside picked up 20
points to go ahead, according to
Coach Howard Barkley.
In that meet, Terrell Carpenter
placed first in the long jump with a
leap of 24 feet, 3 inches.
The rivalry between Carpenter
and Lumberton's Tim Worley in
the 100 meter dash continued dur
ing that meet with Worley sliding
by to win the round.
According to reports, Carpenter
slipped coming out of the blocks
giving him a slow start.
By the end of the 100 meters.
Carpenter was catching his oppo
nent. There just was not enough
room.
Distance man Don Woods con
tinued his quest to be one of the
best 3,200 meter runners in the
state.
Woods placed third in the meet
last week.
The 400 and 800 meter relay
teams broke their own school
records at the meet.
The 800 meter team placed third
in the meet with a time of 1
minute, 28.32 seconds.
-The 400 meter men placed se
cond overall with a run of 42.83
seconds.
The next big challenge for the
Bucks will be the State Champion
ship Meet to be held in Raleigh on
May 24.
The Bucks will have six men run
ning and jumping for them in that
meet.
Hoke High will be represented in
five events. ,
Terrell Carpenter will be in four
of those events. Last year,
Carpenter placed second in the
state in the 100 meters and the long
jump.
Also going to the state meet will
be Don Woods to run his 3,200,
John Baker, Marco Pickett, Davey
Cunningham and Joseph
Allbrooks.
"We have as good a chance as
anyone to win the state title,"
Coach Barkley said. "In
dependence of Charlotte is pro
bably favored, but a lot of dif
ferent things can happen in a state
meet."
