1979 NORTHEAST RAIDERETTES
OUR TEAM OF THE YEAR
GIRLS TRACK
Each year the Hall honors a local team that had an outstanding performance. This year our honoree is the 1979 Northeast Raiderettes Track team. Under legendary coach Alvin Copeland, the Raiderettes were led by superstar Brenda Cliette, one of the most talented athletes to ever come out of Central Georgia. The team dominated every Invitational meet they entered including the state finals. Cliette won the 100, 220 and long jump in the state championship meet. She was also a member of the Mile Relay team that finished first and the 440 Relay team that placed second in 1979. Cliette had help in 1979 from Cynthia Cornelius who won the 2 Mile and finished fourth in the Mile. Cornelius was also a member of the victorious Mile Relay team along with Jeanette Perlote and Latonya Green while Pam Brown, Sharon Glawson and Angela Parker teamed up with Cliette on the 440 Relay team. Dorothy Hicks was also a valuable member of the 1979 squad along with Assistant Coach Gwen Jackson. Queen Miller, Evette McClendon, Debbie Hart and Chris Simonton also contributed to the team’s success in supporting roles.
