Kntries from all over the State will come from other District areas who have public recreation track teams. The Houston County team was the winner, by a large margin, with Milledgeville placing second and Kobins Air Force Base taking third. Ferry will furnish two real fine track stars to the Houston County entry. Their credentials are impressive as they were earned through three regular track meets, a County wide meet and the District meet.

Myrtice Walker strongly aided her teams cause by placing second in the first heat of the 100 yard dash and placing third in the Broad jump Myrtice scored 9 personal points. The 440 yard relay team in this age group was fantabulous in that the team was composed of Pamela Walker and Alnita Lasseter from the eight year olds to run the first and second legs of the relay. Jada ran the third leg and Myrtice was the anchor runner. Even with the two 8 year olds this group took second place adding five more points to their team total.
