No Problem Although field space was not to be found at Lake Brad- dock, the 1974 Girls Junior Varsity Softball team ad¬ justed well. Adopting a neighboring elementary school’s field as their home field, the team began a win¬ ning season with a 12-5 victory over Edison. The team consisted of 25 girls and three managers. But past ex¬ perience was at a minimum with only four girls ever having played high school bail before. Once again hard work and practice paid off with a final season record of nine wins and two losses. This team record earned them second place in district. Outstanding con¬ tributions to the team were made by Audrey Perkins with four home runs, Jenni Lawhon, catcher and Cindy Carlson, pitcher. Exhibiting accuracy and concentration, Cindy Carlson pitches against Mayfield.

However, track is the least publicized sport of the three. Each event takes individual coaching and training. Dashes require high knee lift, free swinging arms, and a forward lean. Consistency in keeping a precise rhythm is needed for good hurdling. Long jumping requires strong ieg and abdominal muscles, and running speed. Practice and determination proved worthwhile as the Lake Braddock J.V. Track Team placed first in the District. Now, that’s one step closer for our Fast Stepping Sport. i7
