EATHER COOLS GREENS ’N COURTS ith autumn breezes blowing there was still a chance to relish in the excitement of a few summer sports. With a touch of snow on the high mountain peaks, both golfers and tennis lovers headed for the greens and courts. Sweaters in hand, Alta golfers spent many hours at Mt. View golf course preparing for the year's tournaments. Eric King's time at Mt. View payed off as he led the team, their top golfer. As for Bill Burraston. he must have spent Jenny Wood awaits her opponent's serve. more time at Mt. View during the sea son, for he was named Most improved golfer. Many golfers had the chance to im- prove as Alta competed in four mini tournaments. In those tournaments Alta took the top four scores out of eight. In region the team finished sixth with a record of 2 and 4. A first in Alta's history was having a girl on the golf team this year. Starla Yamada showed her talent as she was one of the top golfers. A 9th grader, she has three more years in which she may be seen leading the team. Starla was just one of the many young golfers on the team. Because the team is young. Coach Dustin feels that next year should be good. Besides the golfers, this years girls tennis team, dressed in thermal under- wear. skirts and shirts, bravely with- stood cool breezes and rainy days. Play- ing in this weather the team finished the season with an overall record of 6 and 6. The team did well in region with Debbie Nordberg taking 2nd in 1 sin- gles. Melanie Ball 3rd in 2 singles.

They say snow and Arctic winds are hard to run through. But for devoted track members of years gone by, cold, snow and more snow was braved, making our track team one of the finest in the state. Under the direc- tion of Coach Jensen and Coach Holliday they practiced sixth peri- od daily, enduring and striving in order to better themselves. Competing in both indoor and outdoor meets, the Hawks really showed others what they were made of. With approximately nine- ty athletes, and girls' distance as their strong point, they prevailed over other teams, with Sharon Sie- bold becoming one of the top three shotput throwers in Utah. At the Simplot meet in Idaho (which is considered to be one of the toughest in the nation), Alisa Whitney took first in High Jump. Kirsten Aure first in the 1500 me- ter and Jenny Wood took first in the triple jump. Also stifled by the disappointing weather was the boys tennis team. The team this year consisted of only 14 boys including only one returning varsity player; most of the players this year were fresh- men which only means our team will get better. They were led by Coach Yamishiro. They were in- deed dedicated, practicing at school for two and one half hours every day plus what time they could put in themselves at home. The team this year is an improve- ment over the team last year, and I suspect that with the new talent we will do much better.” com- mented returning member Tony Wallin. ‘' V Sticking with the pack.
