MT. TABOR from page B1 Spartans coach said his team's success is the result of excellent 1 chemistry. "We've done very well this year," he said. "We have a pretty good mix of experienced older girls and a great group of new runners." The Spartan team boast incredible balance and have the numbers to back it up. The team has qualified in 14 of the 17 track ? and field events to be held at the regional. "We've qualified for all but three events," said Esposito. "I don't think many teams can they . done that." The Spartans enter the week end assured that the competition will be stiff. Esposito believes that his team's toughest test will come from Morehead High School, but is also wary of good teams from Greensboro Page and Greensboro Dudley. Outside of the quest for the team title, the Lady Spartans hope to win individual races and filed events and qualify their run ners for the State Meet. Becky Maier, a senior, is one of the favorites to win the discus after posting third best discus throw in the state, last year. Jessica Rector, the teams only other senior, looks to take the high jump crown and will lend her talents to the Spartans' relay teams as well. Coach Esposito believes that Mt. Tabor will send all four of its relay teams to the state competi tion and looks for the following runners tp qualify for their indi vidual events: Allie Unger (800m and 1600m), Tinnae Ruffin (100m and the three sprint relays), Angela Bredden (100m, 200m, and the two short sprints), Elizabeth Paite (3200m), Katherin Martins (400m and the two longer relays), Audrena Archie (300m hurdles and the sprint relays). Esposito believes that his team has the talent to be a major con tender at State's. "I think we can place top five," he said, but was a little reluctant to look past his teams current confrontation. The regional meet will provide challenges for the Lady Spartans that they have yet to see this sea son.Esposito's main concern is the teams inexperience, especially in their core of sprinters. "We only have two seniors and our sprinters really haven't had an older girl to look up to," he said. "And they really haven't been challenged around here... they'll be challenged this week end though... it's going to be fun." On the guy's side the Spartans aren't really quite sure what to expect. The team has suffered the bite injury bug and isn't a 100 percent certain who will be run ning this weekend. Coach D'Angelo Bell says that uncer tainty makes it difficult to predict who his team will perform. "We could do all right," he said. "It just depends on who dresses and runs." These latest injuries are noth ing new for the Spartans they have suffered through a season of nagging nicks, bruises and strains. The most notable of the possible no-shows is Spartan speedster, Walter Hauser, who is suffering through a persistent hamstring strain. Hauser when healthy is one of the area fastest runners and if he is not able to go this weekend his absence leaves a hole in Tabor's platoon of sprint ers. Coach Bell believes that Hauser's presence is a definite positive, but also believes that his team will rise to the occasion without him if need be. "We had a great year because despite some key injuries our kids have picked it up and performed against area competition," he said. The Spartans may have to "pick it up" again this weekend as the chances of Hauser's return seem shaky at best. Coach Bell said his most hopeful estimates give his team a "50-50" chance to suit up Hauser for the sprints. Even without his talents the Mt. Tabor team has a good shot at contending for the regional crown. A task that will mean fending off the talent-laden team from Dudley and strong squads from Durham Jordan and I Durham Hillside. The assignment of leading the teams charge for the regional title falls to four outstanding runners including: Andre Chin (400m), Perez Wartlow (200m) Doug Weslin (800m and the mile), Nick lauco (3200m) and Patrice Saunders (110m hurdles and 300m hurdles). Coach Bell also believes that the team can place three of its relay teams in the State Meet. "We started off with some high end goals, winning region al's and state's, but these injuries have kind of hurt our chances at reaching those marks," said Bell. "That being said I still think we have a god shot at winning some individual races, qualifying some people for the State Meet and contending for first place this weekend."
