Straight Down The Beam The Girls Gymnastics Team had neither an exceptionally good or lousy season, ending the year with a 4-4 record. They started the year with a disappointing loss to West Springfield, 129.1-147.1. During the next match, Lee Hayfield, they placed second over Lee, but they barely lost to Mount Vernon with a scraping 143.1-143.7 defeat. They lost a lso to Fort Hunt, but came back with an excep¬ tional performance against Lee, where the team made their highest score of the season, 151.2-148.4. During the end of the season, they gained momentum and in the last match against Groveton and Edison, the team whipped their opponents with the scores: Lake Braddock 133.7, Groveton 123.8, Edison 101.6. In District Competition the team came in sixth, and Erin Murphy placed third on Floor Exercise with a score of 7.85. Stretching for the splits, Michelle Driscoll performs her floor exercise.

Since November, the team, started their quest for district champions. Practice was everyday at area indoor pools. Working each day on strokes (free-style, back, breast, and butterfly) and diving was the agenda for practice. Captains Donna Woodcock, Steve Galvin, and Mike West (diving) started their swimming and diving careers just like others because of interest and instruction long ago. Each worked to perfect his or her individual talents. The season started with placing first in a Relay Carnival in the Gunston District in swimming and diving. Then the silent but steady climb to the top started, ending with the win over Fort Hunt, last year’s state champions. During the exhausting laps, Chip Collier, Bruce Mikula, Matt Galvin, Eric Reimund, and Brian Hobbs take a break. Inching her way to the finish line is Debbie Collier. Thrusting towards the water in the 500 yard free-style is Matt Galvin, Norman Newton, and Mike Syzmanaski against Hayfield. Performing his dive off the one-meter board is Mike West. 70 Swimming
