LADY EAGLES from pagr H "She's been getting better ever since;" Green said. Rowland is undefeated this season in the 400 and 800. She is also ranked number 10 in the state among girls in the 400, according to the Track Honor Roll list. It looks like track could be the ticket to success for Rowland but that wasn't her outlook on the sit uation in the beginning. "When I first started running, I didn't know I would like it," said Rowland. The Greensboro native now proclaims a love for running and looks forward to the chal lenges each track meet presents. "I know if I don't do my best I've got to work harder in prac tice," she said. She can get a little tense before a meet but Rowland has her own way of dealing with each race. "I'll stretch by myself and con centrate on how I'm going to run my next race," she said. Rowland doesn't mind the individual acclaim that comes with running, but she really enjoys the rewards that comes when the team wins. She and her teammates understand the winning burden that comes along with running at Smith High School and they don't want to drop the baton in their quest to be number one. "As long as everybody puts their mind to it, we can be champs," Rowland said. Before the Lady Eagles can think about putting up any more championship banners, they must continue to work hard and per form well in conference meets. On Thursday April 9 at Smith High School, the men and women track teams competed in a dual track meet with conference foe Carver High School. Even though running conditions were not ideal because of cool temperatures and some rain, both Smith teams were triumphant The men won going away. The women were equally impressive, winning by an over whelming margin of 86-21 even though Green rearranged the events some of his athletes ran. Because of a nagging injury, Row land only ran two events. April 10-19 is Spring Break and while this means rest and relaxation for students across the state The mens and womens track team at Smith will prepare to run at a national track meet in Colum bia, S.C. that at tacts from 50-70 teams from across the U.S.. The meet will take place on April 17 and 18. Green wants to use this meet to gauge where his team stands right now. He hopes his girls will come from the meet with a renewed focus of mind and body so they can finish the season strong. "If everyone is running at then best we have a chance at winning a championship," Green said.

Where does the problem lie? It it with the kids, as some suggest. Do African-Americans naturally gravitate to other sports as they get older? The number of African Americans participating in Twin City suggest that even if that were the case there would be more African-Americans participaing in high school baseball than the current level. TWIN CITY from page B1 Major League games. At 11:30, the Mets will challenge the Braves and the Black Yankees will play the Senators. At 1:30, the Twins will play the Cubs and the Stars will battle the Black Sox, winners of the Minor League championship last season. The Giants will face the Dodgers at 3:30 and the Grays will chal lenge the Monarchs. The league currently has some t 600 male athletes from the ages of tl S-IS years-old participating. That's males more than any other a little league in the county has. e Add African-Americans from a other organizations to that pool k of prospective baseball players v and the picture begins to become tl more clear. There is a breakdown some- d where along the line. The same a kids who advance through the tl league from T-Ball up to Big League Baseball don't just lose n I heir love for the game. Or do hey? Do the decision-makers have nything to do with this phenom na? Are the high school coaches ctively recruiting African-Amer ;ans to play? Or are they content nth the players that show up for he team? Even more, are the athletic iirectors and administators ware of the exclusionary policies hat their coaches are promoting. Perhaps the only way for the cal truth to reach the surface is for an in-depth study to jbe done on the sporting habits of local high school athletes. But there are some conclusions that can be drawn from the few facts that are readily available. A sport that was once consid ered to be in the mainstream in African-American society is slowly changing locally. Undoubtedly something has to be done in the future to prevent high baseball from becoming a "White Kids" game in Forsyth County.
