We emphasized both the mental and physical aspects of the sport, said junior member Emily Lee. The club participated in a number of tournaments across the country, such as the Collegiate Nationals. The club also offered students the opportunity to teach at the beginning level. Members held social events through- out the year, including canoeing, picnics, ski trips and a Cedar Point excursion. Dan Newman Michigan Ski Cfub Wolverines who longed to hit the slopes joined the Michigan Ski Club as an outlet to a wintery athletic c hallenge. The group consisted of about 500 people of various skill levels, and welcomed beginners and experts alike. Members made two excur- sions during the winter and spring break. In the winter, they hit the wild and treacherous slopes of Steamboat, Colorado, and during the spring they ventured to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Throughout the term, Ski Club enthusiasts also visited Boyne Mountain up north for weekend getaways. Lisa Torr, a Business School junior, majoring in fi- nance said, I loved the Ski Club because it was very relaxed, and there was no great commitment. It was also a great way to get away from school and meet people. Melissa Kane Synchronized Swimming With a great core of returning swimmers and a strong group of ten novices the syn- chronized swimming team anticipated a successful season. I am very excited about this year, said captain Chrissy Jacobs, a senior biochemistry major. We have the largest team since I have been here. There ' s a lot of promise on the team. The team had four new routines: two team routines, one trio and a duet. They used music from Strictly Ballroom, an oldies selection and music from Saturday Night Fever. Of their five meets, the competition against Michigan State was the biggest. The team also worked to prepare for the national meet in Tallahassee at Florida State. Dawn Spechler
