Ginls SeNcl The 1980 Girls track team enjoyed a season filled with intense sportsmanship, but lacked an outstanding record to match their effort. The team consistently per- formed well at dual meets, but the results at some of the larger invitationals often ,proved to be quite dismal. One of the highlights of the season came during the indoor season at the West Allis Hale Coed Invitational. Here the Lancer girls chalked up their most impressive vic- tory, placing first in a field of five teams. lAnita Merrill remembers, lt was nice lbecause we felt that we hadn't let the guys down. I don't think they thought we could do so well, and it was great to prove that we were able. Throughout the season, several records were broken. These included: the mile and the 880 by Lorie Lewis, and the mile relay lby Jody Breckenridge, Jenny Borchardt, Leslie Rushman, and Melissa Mundt. Probably the most challenging meet of the year was the Braveland Conference lmeet. Team captain and MVP Lorie Lewis comments, We didn't have a very large team to compete, but everyone worked lhard. Even though we placed ninth out of ten teams, people dropped their times and put a lot of effort into the meet. Closely following the Conference meet, the girls competed in the WIAA Sectional Meet where the team placed fifth out of wo T0 ST TE eight teams and two individuals qualified for the state meet. Lorie Lewis qualified in the mile and Chris Nelson qualified in the shotput. Though determination filled their minds, they both failed to place in the meet. Under the direction of Barb Karus and her assistant coaches Ftosenick, Klemp, and new distance coach, Jackl Buehl, the team improved continually. The 1980 Track team, consisting mostly of sophomores and juniors, exemplified the type of inner strength and depth that provides for future teams. Melissa Bandy comments, Our best meets were near the end, because by then we were really work- ing together as a team. Everyone seemed to give it all they had and even though we didn't take first, we really felt good about ourselves and next year we should be even better. t1j Pacing herself to a victory, senior Lorie Lewis pushes hard to pass an opponent from Homestead in the mile. Lorie com- peted in the WIAA State Meet in the mile run. Q21 Amid her long-striding opponents, Varsity track member Lorie Lewis gracefully starts her race with a series ot determined kicks. Gy At the outset of the mile relay, Leslie Rushman drives hard to carry the Lancer relay ahead to a victory. The mile relay team of Jody Breckenridge, Leslie Ftushman, Jenny Bor- chardt, and Melissa Mundt broke the school record this year. My lntensely staring at the expanses of track before her, Lisa Heusch pulls ahead ot her opponent. 151 Executing a perfect trade of the baton, Leslie Ftushman turns the mile relay over to teammate Jody Breckenridge during a meet against the team from Homestead.

Boys NET CONFERENCE Thind The 1980 Brookfield Central Boys' Tennis Team continued its winning ways under sec- ond year Coach Steve Floecker. The Lancers were 44-19 in Braveland Conference play, including crushing 7-0 wins over Hamilton, Brown Deer, Port Washington, and Cedar- burg. With a strong contingent of returning lettermen, powered by Senior Captain- M.V.P. Bill Kirsch and sophomore Timon Corwin, the netters netted third in the Brave- land Conference behind State Champion Brookfield East and second-ranked Nicolet. Because the season started before the winter snows had melted and because of a lack of indoor facilities, practice began in the dark, narrow, and chalk-filled gymnastics balcony. Senior netter Russ French states, lt is really too bad that we can't use the gymnasium, but there are too many other teams that need it, and we are on the bottom ofthe list. After the squad started outdoor practice Coach Ftoecker set the lineup of players who would prove to be the mainstays of the team. Playing singles were Senior Bill Kirsch, Jun- iors Chris Meyer and Bill Webster and Soph- omore Timon Corwin, while Juniors Roy Mills and Carl Breed played first doubles and Sophomores Mike Rytel and Steve Godfrey played in the second doubles position. At the Brook-Tosa Quadrangular, one of the most important meets in the state, the Lancers took fourth place. l felt we gave it a very strong try, remarked Coach Roecker, We lost matches at first doubles and sixth singles that could easily have gone our way, but the caliber of the competition was con- siderablef' In a sectional that included four of the top eight teams in the state, sophomore Timon Corwin advanced to the state tournament. lf the Lancers could play out of south-eastern Wisconsin, a hotbed for high school tennis stars, they could possibly qualify the entire team for the state tournament. Q11 Leaping for a forehand shot, senior Bill Web- ster intently watches the ball. t2j With perfect form, senior Bill Kirsch punches a backhand vol- ley. 133 Showing the intense concentration that took him to State, junior Timon Corwin returns a volley. l l V5 , :,'n,J1lL, T 1980 Varsity Boys' runnin - t 1st rowl Jan Termuehlen, Bill Klrsch, Timon gCorwin, Brett Bridgham, Todd Hart, Bill Webster. t2nd row!
