stiff competition.

and jumped 8'4" in the running long jump.

In the Midget

30.68 and the 4x100 meter relay in 58.67 Jamahl Calloway, Justin Davis

and James Mathis were the other members of that relay team. Calloway ran

the 100 meter in 14.76, the 200 meter in 30.49 and jumped 12' in the running

long jump while Davis ran the 100 meter in 14.98 and the 200 meter in

31.0 Mathis ran the 200 meter in 29.68, which was a personal best, and

jumped 14' in the running long jump, which was good enough for an eighth

place finish.

The Fayette

Flames team is coached and trained by former University of Oregon stars

and All-Americans, Anthony and Brenda Austin. In addition, Sue Bozgoz,

a marathon runner for the U.S. Army and a Peachtree city resident, has

National Championship Meet at Milikin University in Decatur, IL this weekend.

Stokes will compete in the 3,000 meter, the 1,500 meter and the 800 meter

events.

Bozgoz will

also coach the middle distance runners while former Olympian Ralph Boston

and Virgil Fludd, a former track star at Davidson College, will assist

as the running long jump coaches. Al Gibbs, a USATF Masters Competitor

is a volunteer coach. The team practices weekly at the PTC All Comers
