GIA 1955 Class B Girls Track Champions

State was held April 15-16 at Fort Valley State.

Results from May 5, 1955, Jesup Sentinel.

Team results

1st - Wayne County Training (Jesup), 23 points
2nd - Cook County Training (Adel), 16
3rd - Twin City (McRae), 9.5
4th - Edison, 8
5th - Eureka (?), 7
6th - Jeffersonville Vocational, 4
7th - Peabody (Eastman), 3

Seeing how Eureka of Ashburn figured into the boys results, this is likely the same Eureka. However, there was also a Eureka located at Butler.

Notes

Wayne County Training was coached by T.E. Neal, Jr.

A series of photos in the May 6, 1955 Alabama Tribune mentioned Cook County Training's Pansy Pitts as "a record shatterer." Other than this happening in a running event, no other details are currently available.

Event results

50-yard dash: 1st - Cora Horton (Wayne County Training)

Discus: 1st - Joyce Hines (Wayne County Training)

Wayne County Training's roster included Ludia Crawford, Joyce Hines, Cora Horton, Eva McMillian, Alice Myles, Retha Rawls and Betty Sapp
