“It is disheartening,” said Dallas Senior High girls track coach, Robyn gpJones, following her team’s 71-70 loss to Meyers last week. “We have the talent and should have won but lack of proper home track facilities to practice beats us every time. “For the past three ‘years we have been promised something would be done so we could use the track but every year it’s been the same thing. Promises, promises but no action. “My concer nis the kids. We lost the meet because they're out of shape. The kids gave their all but can’t do anything about it. They can’t accomplish the impossible without proper facilities. ‘We have no hurdles, no zones, lanes. “We have five district medalists but they are given nothing while other schools in the conference have Cadillac facilities. We have nothing, our home meets are away. And I’m supposed to sit back and keep my mouth shut.” Coach Jones has brought the Dallas girls track team from an “exhibition group of five or six years three or four years ago to a full squad with depth and talent but she lacks what is needed most--a decent track at home. Efforts on the part of several directors during the past three years have been to no avail. Despite promises, mandates and pleas, no there is still no decent track at Dallas. In the Monday meet with Meyers District Champion Cathy Newhart won three events, the 200 meter dash in :28.3, 100 meter dash in :12.9 and the 400 meter relay with team members Krispin, Denae Schoner and Robin Pawling.

Aston took the 800 and 1600 meter runs and was a ‘member of the winning 1600 meter relay team with Pawling, Krispin and Schoner.
