Men’s Golf Team The year of 1976 was a disappointing one for the golf team. After finishing second by only one stroke in the NDCAC tournament in 1975, they fell to fifth. However, this year they look to be one of the top teams in the state. Three returning lettermen plus a good freshman group could give Science the NDCAC title this year. L. to R., 1st Row: Curt Barth. Robert Mettler, Mike Weigelt. Delton Mehlhaff, Kirby Skoog. 2nd Row: Aaron Harrison. Amie Schaff. Joel Germundson. Brian Belcher. Dave Swanson, John Jenson. Dennis Sumption, Ken Sampson. 3rd Row: Tim Schuctt. Bill Blazek. Dale Schlotfcldt. Spencer Giddings. Rick Chewakin. Lyle Partin. Jeff Powell. Kd Dressier, Larry Thorsnes . Doug Roisc. The Science tracksters turned in many outstanding performances. Leading the way was Mike Weigell, the most valuable player. Mike broke both the indoor and outdoor NDCAC records in the long jump. Science finished fifth in the NDCAC meet and placed third in Region 13 competition. Mike Weigelt, Bill Mauch, Most Improved; and Jim Banna all qualified for the national meet in Houston, Texas. Brian Belcher was chosen as the team’s hardest worker. 1976 was an experimental year for Science in tennis ns both co-ed nnd individual men’s nnd women’s match were held. Although the team finished a distant sixth at the NDCAC tournament. the season itself was a success. The men’s team was 1-2-1, the women's 4-0 and the combined men’s nnd women's team was 4-'$.

Vanessa Hackey Vanessa Hackey, elected two straight seasons as the team's most valuable performer, has brought much recognition to the SSS women's track team. During her two years at SSS she placed first in the 1CH) meter hurdles five times, second once, and third once. She ran the 4 X) meter hurdles four times and placed first all but once. At the AIANV track meet. Vanessa accumulated a total of 28 points. She was one of the two double winners at the meet with victories in the 100 meter hurdles in 16.35 and the 400 meter hurdles in 67.4. She also placed third in the long jump, going 15'0 and ran the anchor leg of the 440 relay team, placing second with a 53.3 timing. Vanessa’s last meet as part of the SSS team, was at Dodge City when the NDSSS 440 relay team ran an SSS record-shattered 51.7 time for third place in the NJCAA National Meet. During her two years of competition at NDSSS, she established two personal records in the 100 and 400 meter hurdles and was a member of the record-setting 440 yard relay and 880 yard spring medley teams. 6 SSS Women’s Track When the NDSSS women's track team began its second year in 1976. it looked like a year to build to the future as most teams do when they arc beginning only their second season. However. Science proved this was not to be the case. In the first meet of the season, SSS outdistanced several other colleges to win the Manana Relays. After a couple of hard meets. Science came back to place third at their own invitational. At the state meet with Vanessa Hackey capturing first in the 100 and 400 meter hurdles, the NDSSS team took fourth place. The climax of the season came when the -140 relay team, consisting of Jean Rick. Sue Larson. Karen Seefeldt and Vanessa Hackey. finished third at the National Junior College Meet held in Dodge City. Kansas. That performance enabled Science to finish ninth in the national meet. The 1976 women's track team broke twelve outdoor school records and tied one more. With that accomplished in only its second year, and eight returning letter winners, coach Dee Jenson could have one of the top teams in t he nat ion t his year. «0 Relay Team participating at National : •Jean Rick.
