Track Sam Mitchell strains to make the height. The 1979 Track and field team had a successful year finishing with a 8-2 record. The men's team received con- sistant performances from Tom Knie- riem in the triple jump, Harry Peoples in the Javelin throw, and Elliot Ru- nyon in the 440 dash. Also doing quite well during the season was the mile relay team. The relay team, Jon Isaacs, Kirby Light, Fred Smyth, and Elliot Runyon turned in fine performances, including breaking a 70-70 tie against Dickinson to give the Terrors the vic- tory in the last event. The Terror team entered the Mes- siah Invitational Meet and did very well. The Terrors represented the school well with many finishers gain- ing medals for their achievements. The Women's team running for the first time ever, was successful. Led by sprinter Phyllis Landry the team did well against their women opponents or were respectable against the men. In the Women's MAC Champion- ship, Phyllis Landry came home with a gold medal in the 100 yard dash. At the seasons end, Phyllis Landry and Elliott Runyon were named out- standing female and male track per- formers for 1979.
