I was go ing to do everything and so when Alta offered a volley ball clinic I signed up. In my naive, little brain I was thinking that it would be no sweat. I had played volleyball in jr. high and it had been easy. When I completed the clinic. I learned my lesson, volley- ball isn't easy; it takes hard work, practice and skill. I can remember coming home from the clinic with sore muscles and bruised fore arms. When the clinic came to an end the participants were given a list of conditioning exercises to do over the summer; hundred yard sprints, jumping rope 500 times, push ups. or sits ups.. I was diligent and worked all summer and in the fall when I made the J.V. team. My hard work wasn't rewarded with rest, instead we practiced every morning form 7:00 to 9:00. Even so I wouldn't have traded my ex periences as a team member for the world. The '84-85 j.v. and varsity teams, hard work and practice didn't pay off as much as they would have liked. We lost a lot of seniors last year. Kathy Nielson, the new var sity coach said and this was more of a building year for next year's team. Building year or not. the players had a lot of fun. They learned that playing a sport is more than just winning. Team spirit and a close ness between coach and players supersedes the actual game. Alta's volleyball teams are an excellent example of coach and player close ness. When volley ball season ends the closeness goes on. I learned that fast the year I played. Seniors who have played for four years have a hard time leaving. Td like to fail my senior year so I could come back next year, Kelli Enniss said. -j CQ UJ -J 9 166 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL: Row ;Lisa Migliaccio. Kim Martin Row 2: Lina Barkey. Lara Taylor.

NDIVIDGALS EARN ? CM C w 5 □ V CL v ■ - 2 -c -O ° -s 2 a • • Ll CL a CL DC UJ f- H UJ THE BIG “A” f you look around campus you are most likely to see quite a few lettermen (and women) walking around. In most sports, the players are required to play a certain number of games, or play in the state tournament in order to receive a letter. Baseball, basketball, and football are three sports in which the “jocks can show their stuff. There are other sports, however, that lettering is possible. Participation in oth er areas, has brought new sports, quite unexpectedly into a lettering position. Diving and golf are two of these sports. Al- though Alta does not have a pool or a swim team, students may compete individually and still receive an Alta letter. Alta women also have a place in the lettering club. Bas- ketball. volleyball, track cross- country, and diving are the four sports that the girls may letter in. In order to receive a letter she must either play a certain number of games or make the Varsity team. With the help of the most spirited students, to encourage and support, the athletes we’re able to share their victories with everyone. It is not the sport, but the individual and team efforts that bring these competitors to re- ceiving the big “A . With an underrated reputation, Travis Clark s perfor- mance helped the team make a strong comeback in region and state. LETTERWOMEN: (GOLF) Starla Yamada GYMNASTICS) Darci Babcock.
