Ioor shovv girls to The 1984 Girls' gymnasts team had an ex- ceptionally successful season, starting out strong and holding on for the championship of the Western Division, and a strong fourth-place finish in the state finals. I have never seen a team want it as much as they did. They were out for the Divisional title and they got it, commented Coach Maureen, CP,nutl Thomas. I had my best yearn, said the squadls leading gymnast, senior Kristy F link. F link made the finals of the state meet, along with senior Rene Thibodeau, and sophomore and Alexa Frost. The season was ok. Not the best. But the team had a lot of spirit, which made the year a fun one, said junior Cami Wordal. The team was known to stick together and each member gave a 100 percent effort in every event they participated in, stated the gymnasts.. It particularly paid off when the team won its second divisional title. - One of the strangest things to happen to the team came in the divisional meet, which was held at the Big Sky gym. The girls were told at the finish of the meet that they had lost to Helena Capital by only four hun- dreths of a point. After a depressing Sunday, the Helena Capital coach discovered a computer scor- ing error. It was enough to give the girls the title, even though it was still only less than a point's difference. This year four seniors will graduate, which leaves them with a young but deter- mined team for next year. I had a great time coaching them and arn very pleased with this year's team , added their coach P'nut. FINAL EFFORT - Kristy Flink flies through the air to the valt at the divisional meet.

irls sprI2e to vvirmrrrg seas Now is the big moment. The girls' volleyball players silently put on their uniforms, pull up their knee pads and lace up their white sneakers. Immediately following the pre-game strategy, and pyche-up discussion given by the coach, the girls hit the floor full of self confidence and determination. Why the description of their pre-game preparations? Because, to the girls, it is as important as the actual game. Hlf we start out with a good attitude, then we usually win the gamef expresses Rachel Longan. The girls put out long hours, before and after school preparing for the games, which made a big difference in their games. The Frosh team started out slowly, but improved. They had an up and down season. Their main goal was to put forth best effort and play as a team. The -l.V. team's season went well also. A lot of effort was put forth during the prac- tices, which paid off in the games. The team is a young team, lacking experience but they are looking forward to a prosperous season next year. But the varsity team had the best season ever in the history of the school. The team's goal was to take divisionals and state, and they were well on the way to establishing that goal, with a 13-1 record by early March. The girls said the team's mental attitude had helped tremendously.
