One swimmer burst into the lead. That swimmer was none other than Washington's own, Andrea I-Iayesg the place, the Goodwill Games in Moscow. An- drea brought home one gold and two silver medals after competing against some of the best swimmers the world had to offer and left her mark on Pensacola as well as the rest of the world. To attain the level of success she reached, An- drea said, You have to enjoy what you are do- ing. You can't compete for someone else. There are sacrifices that have to be made and you will only make them if you are doing the work for yourself. You have to have a positive attitude. You aren't going to always do well, but you have to believe in yourself, you have to really think you can achieve the top in what you are doing, Who knows how far Andrea will go in life? She moved on to swim at the University of Texas, where her coach is also the coach of the U.S. Olympic Swim Team. Maybe someday we'll find ourselves in front ofthe television, on the edge of our seats cheering for Andrea to win an Olympic Gold. - Terry Baker Andrea Hayes Wins One Gold And Two Silver Medals In Swimming At The Goodwill Games In Moscow if r 1 OU I 0 f ,OUNDS .1:g.f:,57r--- . .. . . . -- HK. !

Each knowing that there would be only one victor. Roy jones, Washington's Hghtin' Wildcat, walked away from the contest, a winner. When Roy jones started boxing at the age of ten, he had no idea his hobby would take him as far as the Soviet Union. In relating his overseas experiences, Roy said, I was kind of scared about going over there, not because of fighting, but because of Russia, itself. I was worried when I saw security guards, one on every corner. When asked of his first fight, he said, The first thing that went through my mind when I looked at the other fighter was, 'I-Ie can't whoop me.' Roy also held the title of National Golden Gloves Champion in the junior Welterweight division. I-Ie received a great honor when he was selected to represent the U.S. in the Goodwill Games, held in Moscow during the summer of '86, Roy fought well enough to bring home a bronze medal for his efforts. Roy recently returned to Europe to compete in the 1986 Golden Gloves Championship. I-Ie fought in Finland and Sweden, against two of the world's best and rose victorious. - Dana Musselman and Angela Kyle 12 Sludent LW
