Regina Hawkins tied a record for the long jump with a distance 0f 16 feet 5 inches. She als took first place in the high jump and thjird in the 100 meter runand second in the 100 meter hurdles. At the district meet Hawkins moved to the fore front again winning first place in the high jump and tying the hurdles record.
