Dr. Baur commended both the girls and the guy boys team and Coach Smith for bringing its first State Champion ship since the track team won in the Spring of ’83.

Coach Smith is very pleased with the success of both teams. “I really en joyed working with both the boys and girls teams.” stated Smith. “I had a group of young men and women who worked well together; most important they believed in themselves and were not afraid of competitions.” Next year the returning runners are Pat Goodwin, John Strassel, Paul Bates, Benny Carver, Matt In gram, Scott Gerber, Chris Luper, and Robert Copper.

The boys then went on to defeat High Point Andrews to br- ing their undefeated record to 47-0 since 1977. They also did well in their three large invitationals, while the girls defeated Eden Morehead in a dual meet and also did well in the invitationals.

In the past five years of coaching Grimsley, coach Griffin has had a very successful career.

Overall, the boys and girls record for the girls were 5th in the State and 2nd in the Con ference. Coach Griffin graduated from Wake Forest, is now married and has one son. He started his teaching and coaching career at Oak Ridge, teaching physics and coaching baseball and basketball. To date, Griffin has also taught physics at Grimsley for the past eight years.

In 1980 the boys team were State and Con ference champions while and a half of practice, plus swim meets which are held once a week. When asked if he would ever change sports, the answer was a flat no. “I have always enjoyed swimming, ever since I was little,” says Griffin. “Being a teacher and a coach at the same time does hot conflict at all,” says Griffin “Coaching tends to complement teaching, but teaching always comes first. If, for instance, a swimmer doesn’t come to practice, I will probably see him sometime during the day.”
