A majority ofthe girls feel it is important that girls play equal position in sports. The importance was emphasized at the T976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada. Outstanding female athletes, such as swimmer Shirley Babashoff from California, gymnastOlga Korbut from Russia, and Nadia Comaneci from Rumania are perfect examples of the rising female role in sports. Hoping to follow the direction of Olga Korbut is mascot Tracy Ragan, junior. Dedicating herself to four to five hours a day, Tracy's excellence has been proved by winning the title and taking first place all around in Zone Six. ln previous years, before Title IX was in compliance by our district, a few of our female graduates were outstanding archers at San Bernardino Valley College and Riverside City College. Naturally, today it is a bit easier for girls in sports to achieve what boys have done for decades, however, they encounter many problems with funding and preiudice and constantly have to prove that girls' sports is worth all the time, energy and dedication to keep it alive.
