Vlblleybilll llffS Strive UD Biilllh th il' Bl'S0l1i-ll l3BSt Although Smoky Hi1l's volleyball team was not as successful as in past years, the girls gained much valuable experience and training. The win-loss record doesn't adequately describe the successes of the season. The Buffs played well, but lost many close games that should have been won. The team participated in several tournaments and played well. A young team, the Buffs had only four seniors, but gained invaluable varsity experience which will be greatly used in the future. Led by oo-MVPs Liz Charlton and Pam Haugg most improved, Darcy Hawkinsong and most spirited, Beth Ahlg the team finished respectably in the league. The future looks bright. A large number of freshmen and sophomores were involved in the program this year. The freshman team finished first in its league tournament, beating St. Mary's and Cherry Creek. Much young talent was found. To compensate for the large increase in players, an additional team was added. The new team was coached by Tony Craven. Future success of the girls' volleyball team will largely depend on these young players. The season was ended with a scrimmage against both the teachers and the varsity football team. i m,,,.i,... 3 ,W it ,-nun-nu UUA A i 5-all Y 54 l .I 'W' 'Wm W,

The Smoky Hill girls cross country team had a highly rewarding season. They placed at least in the top five of all teams at seven out of the eight major invitationals where it was common for two to five teams to be running. Cross Country is the only sport at Smoky Hill where both girls and boys scores are combined. The Aurora City Champion- ships was where this unique scoring system was used. It was a particularly happy year for Smoky Hill at the Aurora City Championships because not only did the boys win their race, the girls wiped the field also, to a first place victory. With the combined wins of the girls and boys teams Smoky Hill became the Aurora City Champions in Cross Country. The girls finished their season with a fifth place finish at the Centennial League Championships. Sophomore Lori Fitzgerald led the Buffs with All League and All City honors. Coach Mike Renes summed her up by saying, Lori was a team leader, she didn't obtain this status by bossing anyone around but by setting examples. Junior Anji Weaver, improved greatly and boosted team morale with her positive attitude, Kim Haas Was a hard worker and provided the team with depth, said Renes. He went on to say, Amy Whitney and Toni Huggins Cseniorsj provided key performances. The girls team not only was outstanding on the field, but with a combined grade point average of 3.7 the girls showed their scholastic ability as welll Cross Country 77
