A FRESH BREAKTHROUGH We ore the gofer girls We really go for guys If thiey donr go for us, We wonder why, smock, smock, smock This song was one of many sung by the freshman and junior varsity volleyboll teoms after they hod won o gome I felt sorry for Mrs. Ortiz and Ms. Lewis cause they went home with headaches, Tonya Pruett said. Although the girls song many songs together, there evolved o problem. J.V. and freshmen troveled together. It was really hard because it would be like rubbing it in when we lost, Tommie Dornhouse said. The freshman team won 16 gomes, while the J.V. won nine gomes Contrasting to post years, the freshmen dominated oil three teams The freshman doss affected everything, Coach Jon Lewis sold. They progressed from o bosic offense to Q complex one in o short amount of time The big problem wos that we didn ' t know how to work as o team, but when we put our heods together it worked, Stephanie Zimmersoid. At the season ' s end, most players con- sidered Hastings the toughest gome played They were good on the court ond they worked extremely well as o team and they Bottom Row: Christy Roschoi, Louro Chi Second Row; Terri Stengler, Rhondo Roufh Thlid Row: Cooch Jon Lewis, Wendy Ubernosky, Coriyn Atslnger, Kerry Kistler.

Other gomes, howev er, were olso etched into player ' s minds One wos Northbrook, because we ' come so close to beating them and because we ore such arch rivals, Dor- nhouse said. Although school storted in August and their first gome wos the 21st, most began proctic- ing in the summer. In July open gym proc- tices starred which was offered to anyone. There were all three teoms up there proc- ticoliy, Kistler sold On August 12 practices became mondotory twice a day. We did conditioning for thirty minutes, forty minutes of running and the rest was spent on spiking, hitting and serving, Zimmer said. Yet some of the hard procfice put in during the summer didn ' t quite pay off for some as it did for others After only o few gomes into the season Wendy Ubernosky sprained her onkle, putting her out for the rest of the season Though when the practice did poy off, the reams celebroted by going out to dinner or out to eot with friends My mom would sometimes fix losogno or we ' d go out to din- ner, Pruett said. Wins and losses come and went, but the success was just mentol hoppiness, the feel- ing of satisfaction, Timmreck sold. Setting It Straight.

M AKING WAVES IN DISTRICT COMPETITION The cor pulled into the empty blackness of the naratorlum parking lot. At 6 o.m. the swimmers slowly, sleepily walked into the notarorium to begin another doy of eorly morning practice. The two-hour daily proc- tices helped the boys ' team win third ploce in district and the girls ' team win fifth place. Several swimmers received individual honors. Jim Rees, Brett Schulick, Kurt Johnson, Laurie Husmann, Missy Wilson and Angie Stoner made regional finals. Kristin Henderson and Joe Imrie qualified for the stote meet. It takes hard work and a positive attitude to moke it to state, Henderson said, Henderson finished 7th in store. The relay team, consisting of Jim Rees, Johnson, Imrie and Schulick, finished first in district. We alwoys give an extra effort to beat teams in our district. Imrie said. Finishing third in district was the girls ' relay ream of Stoner, Henderson, Wilson and Husmann Sharing swim coach Tom Clancy with Northbrook was one of the odjustments the team had to make. (Coach Clancy) worked on each individual ' s techniques ond strokes. He wonted everyone to be the best they could be . ,, Stoner soid I don ' t think onyone could hove coached two teams as well at one time as our coach did, Imrie added. Another part of the swim team was the diving team, Losor Hurd, the only member of the diving teom, placed tenth in district. I was on the swim teom last year, but the diving seemed more challenging. Diving hurts, but you just have to get out of the pool and do it ogoin, Hurd said. The swim team, consisting of several first year swimmers, overcame the loss of many seniors to moke a successful season BY KAREN HURT I f4 dives in to swim tine 200 freestyle Tl-ie hordest thing to leotn IS the bocl stroke You kinow it is right when you kill your bock Drown soid D.
