Girls Swimming In A New Light The Smoky Hill girls swim team started a swimming tradition this year, turning in the best performance in Smoky Hill's history. The team moved up an amazing four places to a fourth place finish at the state meet, taking a backseat only to Cherry Creek, Littleton, and Wheatridge. We are now in the elite class of teams, coach John Patterson said. We will only get better from here. Smoky Hill's medley relay of Lisa Gentry, Sara Ehekircher, Sherri Clark, and Kendra Hale finished first at state, shattering the previous team record by more than two seconds. The free relay of Lisa Gentry, Heather Keefe, Sherri Clark, and Michelle Yost, placed in the top ten. The team had several outstanding in- dividuals. Freshman Lisa Gentry placed a promising seventh in the backstroke at state. Sophomore Kendra Hale was voted the team's Most Valuable Player for the second year in a row, scoring a total of 78 points and qualifying for state in seven out of the eight events. Kendra placed tenth in the 200 free and seventh in the 500 free at state. Sophomore Sara Ehekircher captured the State Champion title in the 100 breast stroke, and placed twelfth in the 500 free. Heather Keefe, also a sophomore, was new to Smoky Hill this year, but proved to be an asset to the team in several events. Junior Michelle Yost narrowly missed placing in the top twelve in both her events at state, but enjoyed a successful season anyway. Senior team captain Sherri Clark came in fifteenth in the 100 butterfly at state. With this season on their backs, Smoky Hill's Girls Swimming has established their position among the best. High aspirations await the 1985 team. Lisa Gentry and Michelle Yost eagerly await the outcome of the 400 free relay at state in which Smoky Hill placed tenth. Lisa Gentry strokes lt out in the 200 freestyle event. Her victory led the team to an overwhelming win against Overland. Swim Team Row One tTopl: Sherry Gustad, Sherri Clark.
