Girls' Athletic Awards Make History at Annual Sports Banquet For the first time ever in SLHS history, the girl athletes were recognized at the annual sports award banquet. In the 1972-73 school year, the Girls' Athletic Program participated in five competitive sports: volleyball, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, and badminton. Each team was entered into the Hayward Area Athletic League. One team, the tennis team, received the H.A.A.L. championship award; Karen Donaldson was selected as the tennis team's most outstanding player. Outstanding players of the other fourxsports were Sandy Biagi, Swimming; Doreen Cooper, Gymnastics; Lynne Amaral, Volleyball; and Lisa Killough, Badminton. The receipt of these awards and the outstanding quality of the teams undoubtedly had an influence on the school board's decision to grant girls' athletic teams in the district a sum of $10,000 for the next school year, to further their participation in competitive sports on a basis more nearly equal to that of boys' sports. 7 er.
