Memorial Girls Dverrun Opposition Girls swimming at Madison Memorial is simply extraordinary! The Spartan girls have a history that would make a bald man's hair stand on end. The entire program, spear- headed by Head Coach Beth Em- shoff, has captured three of the last four State Championships and have only one loss to their credit in all the four years they have been in compe- tition! In 1970, Memorial lost their first dual meet to Madison East by one point. This past season, the dom- inant Spartans limited their rivals to a total of 223 points as opposed to outscored their opponent by more than seven times. It should be no surprise then, that the Spartans were undefeated in dual competition by a sizable margin, and have been for three consecutive years. In addition to their dual reign, the girlis profi- ciency becomes even more apparent in tournament action as they were City, Conference and Sectional Champions as well as runners-up at State with a second place win. The Junior Varsity Squad was equally as formidable as the varsity as they have been undefeated in all their four they were returning City Champs and outscored their opponents 661 points to 142 points! Bobbi Reif and Laura Crissinger were Co-Most Valuable Players for the Varsity Squad and Diane Bryant was the Most Improved Player. Sue Baker was chosen Most Valuable Player for the Junior Varsity Team and Ann Armstrong was named Most Improved Player. With such a suc- cessful program and skillful crew, Coach Emshof1's Spartans should remain the dominant faction in the City and State swimming picture. their 777 pointsl, and in one meet years of existence.

Tallard Sisters Lead Spartan Golfers Oach Gfcigwff Chris and Sue Tallard were the hopes of Madison Memorial's Girls Golf Team this past fall, The Spar- tans, in only their second year of competition, were faced with that age old curse which seems notorious for attacking so many sports, like this, in their early stages of growth and progress f that is, lack of depth. Only nine girls encompassed the entire Spartan squad. To remedy such a situation, Head Coach Bruce Gregg is attempting to establish girls golf on a strong basis at Memorial. Unfortunately, the Spartans expan- sion has been relatively slow, Origi- nally, only five girls competed on the team during the fall of 1972. With the addition of four more girls, the Spartans are established with the present nine team members. The talented Tallard duo, along side Mary Shultz, Ginny Ross and Laura Becker, comprised the girls compet- ing on the varsity level and tourna- ment squad. These girls along with four other teammates enabled Memorial to finish their season with a 4-5 dual meet record. The 1974 outlook is quite favorable. Coach Gregg is optimistic over the strength which is coming up from the under- classman ranks next season. He feels the team will be considerably strong- er and is hoping that Memorial will be able to host a large invitational next season to bring their competi- tion into the City. Apparently, Memorial and Madison West are the only girls golf teams competing in also very pleased with the closeness of his team and agreed that such to- getherness amplified everyones en- joyment ofthe season and helped to fulfill his goals as a Coach.

Spartan Girls Uverwhelming One would have to agree that Madison Memorial's four Prep Girls Volleyball Squads experienced the thrill of victory this past fall, as they molded their talents into an overall 35-I2 record. Varsity and JV coach JoAnne Kollath, guided her crew to a 7-3 stronghold in dual competition. The forceful Spartans were then ignited by such standouts as MVP and Captain Kathy Galli- gan, Patti Stellmacher, Cindy Han- son, Joan Mott, Carol Burns and MIP Sue Craddock to propel them- selves to two 3-0 triumphs, back-to- back, in Regional and Sectional play, leading the Spartans into their first State Tourney.
