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.

They went on to outdo Tosa East to capture a Third Place State ranking and an 8-l tournament record. The JV squad ended their season with 6-4 record. Sonja Lee, MVP and Co-Captain, reinforced the team with M IP Sherry Haas and Co-Captain Barb Stern leading the Spartans through a winning season providing valuable experience for future varsity competition. Two freshman teams played exceptionally well rounding out their play with a combined I4-4 finish. The White Squad was gifted with talent espe- cially in MVP and Captain Bitsy Galligan. They ended their season with an 8-I record and Laurie Ran- guette was picked the Most Im- proved Player. The Green team was quite good by finishing with a 6-3 record. Amy Schlect, MVP, and Captain Sandy Andringa led the Spartans through the season and Jeni Hartmann was chosen the Most Improved Player. With such abun- dant talent down the ranks, a tradi- tion of power should be in store for the Spartans. Patty S., Kathy G., watch Sandy J. return ball.

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.

Overgard Leads Spartan Girls For the second consecutive year, the Spartan Girls Tennis Team from Madison Memorial, concluded their season with only two wins and a Sec- ond Place in the City Tournament. Jayne Overgard, the Spartans Most Valuable Player, led the squad throughout the season turning in the most consistent scoring perform- ances. According to Head Coach Nancy Pedersen, who assumed her first yearu of coaching with the Spartans, Jayne was Memorial's only State Tournament Qualifier. She met great misfortune after los- ing tothe State Runner-Up Champi- on inthe early rounds of her compet- ing category. Susan Reed was the Spartans WZ Singles Champion in Claudia Javid turns back the shot. the Big-8 Conference after she took a First Place in her respective bracket. Other Big-8 contenders included Audrey Nohel, Anne Docter, and Terri Wirth. Coach Pedersen also noted the talent of Karin Meyer f only freshman to compete and earn a letter on the varsity level. Karin per- formed well in doubles competition with Carolyn Rastas and should add more strength to the Spartan squad next year. Memorial's Junior Var- sity Squad displayed great overall talent which resulted in a group well balanced in strength. Although the girls rotated playing positions during the course ofthe season, Anne Marie DeZonia was considered the most proficient member ofthe team. l l , - 1- N .
