GYMNASTICS ’Winning is super; losing is learning; gymnastics is a challenge.” Kathy Cortese Under the guidance of Coach John Turchi, the boys gymnastics team improved steadily as the season progressed. Senior Captains Tim Pearson and Mark Cadwell led the team. Pearson set a new school record for the hori- zontal bar, but another senior, Mike Van Allen, was unable to compete because of a broken wrist. Five freshmen turned out which was very encouraging. Freshman Mike Carson set a new record for best all-round freshman. Coach Turchi considered the year a building year for a young team. Perhaps the biggest highlight of the year was the team’s victory over the Lake Oswego Lakers. Coach Vicki Thomas considered the year one of 100% improvement for the girls. The young team set personal goals and achieved the team goal of more team work. Senior Captain Kristy Cortese went to dis- trict on the uneven bars and vault. Sopho- more Brenda Baldwin also had the opportun- ity to compete. Perhaps one of the biggest disappointments for the year was that Joan Cameron was un- able to do her best because of an injury. The freshman turnout was a very bright spot in the program, with nine freshmen joining the team.

STATE PLAYOFFS VOLLEYBALL Going to state uas a totally new and exciting experience. ” Alan Burt This year Lakeridge had five teams that went to the playoffs. Boys soccer completed an almost undefeat- ed season and went on to win the Wilco title. They were defeated at the Civic Stadium by Beaverton, eventual state champions, but they lost fighting. The girls had an undefeated season going into the playoffs. They won district but when they played Wilson they lost, but showed again the Pacer stubbornness and unwilling- ness to give up without a struggle. Two other teams that did really well were boys and girls cross country. The girls received many honors by being Wilco League runner- up and being 8th at state. Girls JV took the first places at district. The bays were excel- lent this year with all three teams winning all their meets. All of the teams placed first in the district. In large meets, such as the Lake- ridge invitational, the team placed 2nd, and they were 6th in state. Football had an action-packed season which continued on into the playoffs. We walked away with the Wilco title after defeat- ing Centennial at Civic Stadium. Then the team went on to play Roseburg at the Lake Oswego field in an exciting game that was tense to the last seconds. The Pacers were just barely beaten. Volleyball finished its second season with no wins but much valuable experience gained. Cheryl Gross led the varsity and JV, and Mrs. Chuck Geldaker worked with the frosh. Everyone who turned out for volleyball made one of the teams since there were just enough players to fill the teams. Though the varsity did not win any mat- ches, they did win some games. One of these exciting games was in a tournament in which they beat Grant High School 15-2. The Lake- ridge netters were tough competitors against many of the schools they played. Outstanding players were Cindy Betts, Janet Simon, Alice Parks, and Terry Enberg.
