Gymnasts place 9th in Conference -4 Stretch ladies stretch! It seems these words and many others like it were heard during afternoon gymnastic practices. It would seem that all the work involved would be trying, but for those few that went out for this demanding sport the rewards are worth the effort. Although the group didn't fair well in competition, placing only 9th in Conference, a few talented people managed to lead the group and reach personal goals. Terri Paul stated that, Our enthu- siasm helped us during our conditioning and practices. It carried over into meets and helped us as a team. Krisi Giberson went on to say, I think our team would have done better if we had a bit more experience and knowledge. Injuries also hampered our performances in meets. Holly McGuire concentrates for a wmnmg performance. l P School. Although injuries were the downfall of this year's team, they didn't consider the year a total loss. With three juniors and seven sophomores going out this year, the coach will have more depth as well as state qualifiers on their team. Renee Ealey, one of the team's All Arounder's was the first Falcon gymnast to qualify for state competition. When asked about going to state she ex- claimed, I was really excited, surprised and happy to go. It was a good experience and I was glad to represent Skyline. Coach Hornbaker commented on Renee's performance as well as the entire team when she said, I'm proud of the entire team, although I will miss my seniors, I am looking forward to next season, in hopes of ranking higher in Conference and State competitions.

Golf Sends 0ne To State Unlike the other many sports offered at Skyline, Golf team is a challenge differently to the mind and body. Being so, it is remarkable that for the second year in a row, Paul Hall remained the leading member of the Falcon Golf team. To qualify for state a golfer must have the lowest stroke average of the entire team. After qualifing for state his junior and once again his senior year he placed twenty-seventh out of 135 golfers in the state tournament, with a score of 162. Golf Conference matches included up to nine schools participating. Out of these teams, the Falcons placed eighth. Other meets called invita- tionals were held consisting of up to twenty-eight schools. The invitation- als the Falcons played in amounted to three this year. Mr. Zulauf the teams head coach commented after recovering from a car mishap. After my injury in the car accident, I was just glad to be back on the course with my team.
