As Season Progresses . Coach Carol Hahn, Sara Edminston, Jan Province, Lisa Taucher, Lillian Yee, Donna Luster, Lynn Killinger, Claudia Mark. I' [HO- - Enthusiasm, committment, sportsmanship, and higher skills are some of the qualities re- flected in the West Albany girls volleyball teams. The beginning of the season was played well and improvement was seen in every game and practice. The girls' varsity team ended their season with a big victory over South Salem. The win boosted the team to a sixth place league finish out of nine teams. Their final record was 4-12 . I feel we were better than the record showed, coach Carol Hahn said. Good teams aren't always winning teams, she added. In past years, there was only one coach who worked with the varsity and J .V. teams. Three coaches helped the team this year. Ms. Hahn on varsity, Ms. Bunnel covering J .V., and the third coach was a student teacher at Memorial, Kathy Bryant. She volunteered her services during the entire season. The team is losing only two seniors, Lisa Taucher and Claudia Mark. So the spikers will have a lot of experience returning next year. 1. Lisa Taucher spikes one too hard to return. 2. Donna Luster uses good stradegy. 3. Lillian Yee in head-on battle with opposition. 4. Three J.V. members show some good team work. Volleyball 21

. Over the River and Girls cross country was in its third year of competition . It was a surprise that there would be a team at all. Dennis Swanson, the new coach was the reason for the team. Participa- tion was low at first, but quickly rose to more than ten girls. As a whole, the girls felt good about their season. Even though their meet record was not what they expected. A majority of the girls on the team were freshmen and sophomores, and coach Swanson is optimistic about future seasons. It has been said that for victory, the long distance cross country runner has three op- ponents to overcome—the land, the competition, and most importantly, himself. FRONT ROW: Connie Clark, Tracy Kenyan, Kelly Pierce, Missy Powell, Coach Denny Swanson. BACK ROW: Debbie Clark, Sue Hill, Margaret Hermans, Heidi Lichtenthaler, Barbara Welk, Margaret Reid, Gayle Vanderford. Coach Swanson was the best we could have had. Gayle Vanderford 1.
