A&T NEWCOMER TO TRACK COULD BECOME BIG STAB An A&T youngster who had never run competitively in high school and who came out for the sport in college without a scholarship, has turned out to be one of the finest middle-dis tance runners in the state. Seyon Han-ell, a sophomore from Hertford, N. C., is one reason Aggie track coach Mur ray Neely is all smiles these days. "Harrell ran a 47.3 quarter mile last Saturday in the Hamp ton Relays," said Neely, "and this is one of the best times in the state and country at this COMMUNITY FUNERAL SERVICE, INC. 1830 E. Market St GREENSBORO, N. C. Phone S7I-W71 Arthur Lee, Jr. Alexander Parker Earl R. Brown, Director stage of the game. Most of the CIAA coaches think that he can be the best in the conference." That is saying a lot, in view of the fact that Harrell will be competing in the 440 against Vince Matthews of Johnson C. Smith, one of the fastest quar termilers in the nation. Mat thews has not beaten Harrell's time outdoors this season. It's the steady improvement that has impressed Neely most about Harrell. In his first race in the Florida A&M Relays two weeks ago, he posted a 48.5 in the open 440. Less than an hour later, he ran a 48.4 anchor leg in A&T's winning sprint medley relay. Harrell is 5'-10" and weighs about 160. He seems to thrive on hard work, according to Neely. "He's a real gentleman and very coachable," added Neely. "We make out a schedule for him and he follows it re ligiously." Asked what he thinks will enable Harrell to lower his time even more, Neely said: "The thing that is going to help hi'" is more competition with top flight runners." Right now, Harrell is preparing for another big day in the Commonwealth Relays in Petersburg, Va., April 20. Other promising members o i A&T's track team include fresh man Curtis Thompson, a halX miler; Ray Thompson, a broad jumper; and Billy Buckingham and Mike Hart, high jumpers, and unbeaten weight man Elvin Bethea. Thompson and Buckingham were state champions in high school and Bethea is an All NAIA performer in the discus and shot-put.
