Beginning gymnasts Nancy Peterson, Lani Crowe, and Ruth Schumacher qualified to compete in the Sectional Meet at Kennedy High School in late February, culminating a fine season for the Marysville High School girls' gymnastics team. Competing at Placer High School for the North Sub- Sections, Marysville and 10 other schools participated in the meet with the Novice Team receiving a first place trophy and the Beginners team placing fifth. Gymnast Ruth Schumacher tied for the gold medal in the Beginners Division. Following the completion of league meets, the gymnastics team participated in optional meets. Gymnast Cindy Reese performed well in the optional meets, capturing first places in every meet she participated in. Coach Lynn Marsh stated that the team, consisting of '23 members, was outstanding as a whole, with no-one shining above the rest. One problem faced by the team this year was a change in the league rules concerning the competition of beginners and intermediate gymnasts in the same division. According to Coach Marsh, this allowed the beginners to perform easy routines to perfection, while the intermediates had to compete using more difficult routines. Even though the team faced some changes this year, they remained united and had a successful year. 1 I P A wi . - L 's . l FRONT ROW: M. Pederson, L. Bowles, K. Williams, D. Wilkinson, D Martin, L.

And when the coach himself is new, real problems could arise on the team. However, first year coach, Mr. Jim Westmoreland, kept the team morale high and helped them improve as the team moved into its season. With drills where girls had to do three push-ups every time they mishit the ball, the girls built muscles while improving shots. Under Mr. Westmoreland's leadership, the girls seemed to actually enioy his attempts at making them tennis pros . Using techniques practiced on throughout the season, the tennis team won their final match against Nevada Union. Overall, the girls' tennis team did not fare well in the team standings, with a l-9 record. Individually, top- seeded Lori Arostegui, Lori Binninger, Jennifer Booth, and Karen St. Martin led the team in wins. At season's end, six team members competed in the Sierra Foothill League tennis tournament held in Nevada City, with the doubles team of Lori Arostegui and Jennifer Booth taking third place. Mr. Westmoreland stated that even though the team did not have a winning season, he and the team had lots of fun.

Coach Miller's varsity team had seven returning players from last years team. Experience and the talent of the players was evident, but team height was not. This height problem forced special team strategy to consist of plays utilizing the quickness and experience of the players. After school, holiday vacation, and weekend practices consisted of running drills, learning defensive zones, new offensive plays, and mastering the fast break. Marysville High Schools varsity girls team finished the season with a two win and eight loss SFL record. Highlights of the season were wins against crossriver rival Lindhurst, 44-41, and the Roseville Tigers, 35- 33. Coach Miller stated that in many of the games, her team outplayed the opposing team, but the shots would iust not go in the basket. JV girls basketball experienced a new dimension in girls' sports at MHS. The Marysville girl's JV team was coached by Mr. Schroeder, a first-time experience for him and for many of the team members. lnexperience was a main factor in the play of the JV's, as most of the players were freshman and sophomores. Coach Schroeder ran the team through shooting, dribbling, and rebounding drills. Attempting to master these basic techniques, the team finished the season with 3 wins and 7 losses in SFL play. Varsity and JV girls basketball teams expect to have a winning season next year due to many experienced and skilled players returning to play. 1.
