Gymnastic girls show their style There were twenty girls out for Gymnastics this year. Many were freshmen. “Good prospects coming up,” said Mrs. Randy Saiter, Gymnastics Coach. Three seniors, two juniors, six sophomores, and nine freshmen made up the team. Ten of the girls returned from last year’s season. Balance beam, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise and vault were the four events in which the girls participated. The girls were graded on a scale of 1-10. The higher the score, meant better performance. This was the last year for three of the girls; Jane Lentini, Libby Raynes and Kathy Olmstead. Although the team will greatly feel the loss of Jane and Libby’s leadership as well as talent, we have great prospects for next year’s team, stated Mrs. Salter.

GIRLS' C.C. SCOREBOARD OPPONENT OR MEET RRHS Phoenix, Ashland............................f‘rst Crater Invitational.........................fifth South Umpqua, Glide.........................first Roseburg Invitational......................second Sutherlin, Douglas..........................first Shakespeare Invitational....................first E.P., Henley, Glide.........................first S.U., I.V..................................second Crater, G.P., Ashland.......................first District Meet...............................third During a race, each breath becomes more and more rapid, the body loosens, everything is blocked out except the goal of your race, each muscle is at the edge of endurable power. The runners feel the rapid flow of sweat, decrease in energy and increase in endurance, you’re almost there, your surroundings are blocked out, you no longer hear the screaming and yelling of the crowd, you begin to see the finish line, your body begins to feel as if it were moving in slow motion, you close your eyes to release strain, then they're open, you're just a few steps away, your muscles are tight throughout your body, finally you’re finished, relieved and exhausted. This is what every cross-country runner feels when running a race; people only imagine until they experience it themselves. No matter how you run, what you wear or what place you come in, the most important thing is when you do your very best from start to finish, and that is what makes a cross-country runner good. — Vickie Dey Top: Randy Haberman shows the agony of cross-country as he strives for a win.
