B -junior fett Dale d 1 | T | | | GE سک س‎ -Bryan Schabel sure a school sport could be great for the ol’ bod . . . but often stu- dents weren't interested in the sports the school offered, or being seen in shorts and t-shirts. These people chose recreational activities away from the school's teams to tighten their buns or just for fun. “I've been ice skating since | was seven years old, senior Annie Weltha said. “I go with my friends — its good exercise and a great way to meet guys. Aerobics was also a common weapon against excess bodily di- mensions. Students who chose to do this either joined a local fitness club or went home to bounce around in front of their tube. At home, | can exercise pri- vately to my aerobics tapes or to a television show that might be on ESPN,’ sophomore Missy Thomas said. “It gets off the excess flab on my arms, inner thighs; it's great for the stomach and it's fun!’ Some sports weren't offered by the schools athletic department. Maria arts were activities many students participated in. Sophomore Nicole Praty took Tai-Kwon-Do lessons at The Ames Racquet Club.

'It's good practice for the tour- naments | enter. My greatest finish was in the Mother-Son National Tournament — we took 14th.” A lot of students got together with some of their friends and played games on their own time non-competitively. We played softball all summer long at 4:00 every Sunday,” senior Ben Klaas said. None of us really had much to do, so we always had a good turn-out. It was a lot of fun because we played on a little league field which translated into a lot of home runs. Often athletes didn't end their season when the school team s sea- son had ended. They continued to play with friends on their own team, or work out at the gym by them- selves for their sport. | lift for volleyball and basket- ball.

Some tried to improve their ap: pearance, as well as their game, by working outside of the season. ` | play pick-up basketball games at State and Beyer to take off some of my extra weight, junior Jeff Dale said. There's really ng way l improve, but it is good for the off season. | AAU (Amateur Athletic Union)? teams also provided ways to im-$ prove individual playing and team-$ work. “AAU basketball helps my yS game a lot, freshman Mark Mem an said. The school team's top 1331 go around the state and play tourna: j ments. It's great for our teamwork.
