- Gettoknowtisjyoulllikeus.
Two young Durham
athletes, Lisa SherriU, 14, and
Kathy Graham, 11, both of
Kirby Street, were among
other athletes throughout the
state who were named as
All-Stars at the annual N. C.
Teague awards banquet held in
Charlotte last Saturday for
their performances in track and
fleldlast year. Both of the girls
produced state Junior Olympic
records in the quarter mile in
their respective age groups last
year. Kathy ran 63.9 seconds
in the 10-11 year old division
which she will have one more
crack at this year as an eleven
year old. In winning the 220
and 440, Lisa ran times of 26.0
and 58.2 seconds respectively.
Both of these were state
records. A week later in
College Park, Maryland,
running against women, she
won the quarter mile event
posting a blistering 57.5
seconds.
But 1975 was not the year
for the two athletes. In 1972,
as an eleven year old, Lisa ran
59.2 which established an
American record for her age
group. (That record also
surpasses the eleven year old
boys record too). Kathy, in
1974, produced t national
Junior Olympic record in that
event for nine year olds. That
same year, she also lead the
nation's nine year olds in the
220 with a 29.8 second
clocking.
Lisa, who is a member of
the world renowned Atoms
Track Gub which produces the
likes of Olympians Cheryl
Toussaint, Gail Fitzgerald and
Pat Hawkins, is originally a
native of Brooklyn, New York
until her parents moved to
Durham in 1973. She is the
daughter of Alfred and Myrtle
SherriU and attends Githens
Junior High School.
Kathy is a member of the
Raeletts-South Track Club in
Durham. She was first
introduced to track two years
ago when she began working
out with her next door
neighbor, Lisa. To date, she has
lost only two races at any
distance in her running career.
Both of Kathy's parents,
Herman and Loretta Graham
were track stars at Hillside
High School. Kathy is
currently a student at
Fayetteville Street School.

another would-be female
boxer (not shown) at the San

the California Athletic Com

licensing female boxers.
Twenty-year-old Pat's hope
was given a boost last week
when the Commission said
they would accept her ap
plication for a license.

Loses Final
KNOXVILLE, TENN. -The
high flying Tennessee
State University Tigers had to
pull all of the stoppers here last
Monday night against the
Knoxville Bulldogs before they
finally came out on the long
end of an 87-85 score for their
17th win of the season against
only four losses.
Charles Counts, senior high
post performer from Nashville,
made good on a layup with 40
seconds left to decide the issue
in facor of the visitors.
It was a nip and tuck battle
from beginning to end, with
the Bulldogs' Ted Adkins and
Joe Foster keeping the home
team in the thick of things
with their bombs from outside.
Ahead 49-46 at
intermission, the Tigers
brought in Richard Martin
from the bench to start the
second half. Martin came
through with 10 points and
turned in a very fine defensive
performance. But it was
Gilbert Wflliams, the senior
wing from Memphis, - who
showed the way in scoring for
the Tigers with a total of 23
for his night's efforts.
Other Tigers in double
figures were Bernard Bailey
with 19, Ricky Cole and Dave
Herron with 12 each, and
Martin with 10.
The Bulldogs' Atkins and
Foster led all participants in
scoring with 31 and 37,
respectively.
