Gymnasts Review Season The 29 member gymnastics squad claimed 114 varsity places (four of them at the State Meet), setting a team record and two in- dividual marks along the way. Gymnasts selected seniors Amy Knippling and Cindy Goodman as co-captains at a post-season meeting. Jill Weber was recognized as Most Valuable and Elaine Brady, with a 1.9 increase in floor exercise, as Most Improved. Although the team was hurt by injuries, they set a new mark of 120.6. which was 6.4 better than the old mark of 114.2 established last year. Weber set two individual records, 31.5 in all-around (31.1 by Janine Osterberg, '84) and 8.9 on the un- even bars (8.45 by Weber, '87). She also had the high scores for the season in floor exercise, 8.4, and the balance beam, 8.0. while Knippling and DuVall shared the top vault score of 8.0. The Cubs qualified six girls in nine events for the State Meet, where Weber took third on the bars, and seventh all-around. Kim Ellis claimed eighth place on the beam, and Bridget O'Connell was tenth on the beam. Other qualifiers were Nicole DuVall, Nikki Gakin, and Nikki Gray. Coaches Norma Johnson and Debbie Swanson named fourteen letter winners: Knippling (5 years), Osterberg (4), Weber (4), DuVall (4), Goodman (3), Shana Grassel (3). Gakin (3), O'Connell (3).

Leaps and Strides. Boys and girls team members showed a willingness to accept challenge, resulting in a successful season. This can definitely be attributed to the good attitude our boys and girls demonstrated throughout the track season, commented coach Harry Haanen. The number of boys participating was down from the past few years, but the desire and hard work for this group was second to none. The girls' team continued to dominate the Big Dakota and Central Conference as they recorded their fourth and third con- secutive championships. Nine girls and five boys placed in regional competition, to advance to State. They were Holly Farnsworth, Ann Gruenig, Cin- dy Currier, and Alisa Voorhis in the 3200 meter relay (breaking the school record by 15 seconds); Shana Grassel, Kim Petersen, Jill Osterberg, and Esm6 Bieberly placed second in the girl's medley; Esmd took second in the two mile; Bridget O'Connell received first in high jump; Danny Larsen took first in high jump and second in triple jump; Trent Geddes placed first in the one mile and second in the two mile; the boys team took second in the two mile; and Nick Nuttbrock placed first in the triple jump. Cindi takes the baton from Alisa to anchor the 3200 meter relay.
