Even experienced archers 7..- 53 df- s ee scam ease s Teams find disappointment despite the success. ' O I ii-. Once again, the girls' archery team fin- ished with a winning season of 8 wins and 3 losses and placed 5th in the state tour- nament as well. Nevertheless, Coach Sharron Lunt wasn't pleased with their performance. We had an average sea- son but we will do better next year, he said. I was disappointed we didn't im- prove much during the season and only finished fifth in state. The team had many new girls partici- pate in archery which could account for the slow progress. They did as good as could be expected in the beginning, Coach Lunt stated. Melinda Hanes led the Cougars in socr- ing for the year followed by Carol Fitsim- mons, Frances Mitchell, Kris Hatelid, and Ninette Davis.

Their final season was great accord- ing to Coach Branstrom as they compiled a record of 5-5. The goals for the 12 gymnasts were to keep up their quality of standards and to continue sending gym- nasts to state. Coach Branstrom informed us that the girls did just that by working very hard during practices and sending the most girls to state ever. Wsev',,,, v. ,wb tl u - V Q. 0 O ll. ' it .t f s . ' ' K K ' .
