BC Track Gals Small in members, but big in spirit and determination describes the 1987 Girls' Bomberette Track Team. Led by returning letter winners Teresa Dausel fphoto at rightb and Christi Petersen, the team improved throughout the season. Dausel broke her own school record during the year. Petersen, who suffered an injury early on, still captured some im- pressive times. Losing only one senior this year, Teresa Dausel, the team should be back even stronger next year. Teresa Dausel broke her own school record in taking second place in the discus with a throw of 98-9 at the Lake View Invitational. Teresa also grabbed third place at the meet in the shot put with a toss of 28- 1 IW, her best throw this year. Christi Petersen placed fifth in the 100 meter dash in 13.8 at Lake View. Christi's best times of the year were at the district meet at Lawton. She ran the 100 in 13.5 and the 200 in 29.8. The BC gals scored their best of the season at the Bo-Coon Conference Toumament. They scored 23 points to take eighth place. Dausel took second in the discus, sixth in the shot, and ran in two relays that came in third and fifth. Myra Lehmann, Kim Sports, and Christi Petersen ran with Dausel on the 4 X 100 that finished third. The same team ran the Sprint Medley for fifth place. Petersen took third in the 100 meter dash and sixth in the high jump. Amy Christofis won fourth in the hurdles. we

Brown's Boys Small in size but ' big in determination describes the 12-7 Bombers. The Bombers' tallest varsity player stood right at 6'l and it was down the ladder from there. To compensate, the Bombers used a fast break offense and tough defense to overpower many of their opponents. Leading the Bombers this season were juniors Jason Verschoor, a second team All-Conference choice, and Kory Schmidt, a third team All-Conference selection. Verschoor led the team with a 16 point average and Schmidt averaged 4 steals a game. Another junior Deaon Fritz averaged 6 rebounds. Verschoor M4209 is pic- tured at left. The Bombers used a strong bench for their third place ranking among conference teams. Coming strong off the bench were Daeon Fritz, Dave Winterrowd, jay Wingert, Chris Woebke, and Kelly Verschoor. The bench averaged over 16 points a game of a 63 point per game average for the Bombers. Starting juniors Schmidt and Verschoor will be back next year to lead the Bombers as they lose only three Senior starters Rob McBride, Don Ortman, and Kerby Huss.
