inl ' Golf inls SwiNq lmouqh SEASON Finishing their season favorably by capturing third at the Conference golf tournament, the 1980 Varsity Girls Golf Team lived up to their high expectations by improving individual scores and the team scores as a whole. Though the team did not advance far in postseason play or get to the state tournament as it had expected to, there was a solid improvement as a team. Reflects three year letter winner Mariann Lehecka on the team's performance, Although we did not get very far in qualifying for state, I feel that we worked well as a team as far as morale and helping each other improve is concerned, and I believe because of this the team put forth a great effort. The job of coaching the girls was coach Paul Naumann's. Much time was spent at practices going over many of the fundamentals of golf. It was this aspect of training which contributed most to the improvement of individual scores. Coach Naumann also spent a great deal of time preparing the girls before meets, which also helped the team lower its scores as the season progressed. Coach Naumann really spent a lot of time with team members working on correcting strokes and fun- damentals that are very important. Stressing the basics was what the team needed to get better scores, com- ments Mindy Raterink on team improve- ment. Junior MVP Kelly Groddy shot low scores through out the season and at the team's strong showing at the Con- ference golf tournament. Seniors Mar- iann Lehecka and Diane Carco also were invaluable to the team, their expe- rience and scores giving depth to the team. Next season there will only be three golfers gone because of gradua- tion, and with the already evident talent of the team, it should improve even more. 1980 Girls Varsity Golf - ftsty Dianne Carco, Liz Little, Karen l-lyden. f2nd5 Kappy Martini, Noreen 7 Trad, Mariann Lehecka, Lori Knudten, Briget Lauder. i3rdQ Laura Storm, Ann Ftienders, Julie McBride, Coach Naumann, Mindy Raterink, Jenny Walton, Kelly Groddy. 50 X Girls' Golf Ui Leading the 1980 Girls' Varsity Golf Team v Kelly Groddy.

Tnekkens UN Tlmouqli Rebuilding SEASON The 1980 Boys' Cross Country team completed its season with a disappoint- ing record under first year head coach Charles Turner. The rather dismal record was due to an abundance of holes left by talented runners who had graduated. These emptied places were filled by less experienced underclass- men. Though the team failed to win a single meet, Coach Turner did an excellent job of pulling the team together. Drawing from his own experiences as a runner, Coach Turner guided the young team, pulling the most from each individual. Junior Kevin Kellems remembers, Coach Turner really helped the team because he is an experienced runner himself. He helped to consolidate the team, and he got us to help each other. Senior Co-Captains Doug Roerden and Kurt Bechtold provided the team with stability, consistency, and numer- ous respectable performances. Junior Roger Hamilton, voted most valuable by his teammates, led the team through its rebuilding season. Also heading the team were senior Scott Semb, juniors Jim Elliott, Ken Meister, and Bill Michal- etz, and sophomore Rod Anderson. Since there was no completely domi- nant runner capable of carrying the entire team, the Lancer harriers became a team rich in the depth of the runners, with its top runners often placing very near each other. Competition within the team itself enhanced the feeling of unity that the team members shared, and provided a reason for optimism when other signs were bleak. Senior Doug Roerden states, The team was a group of intense individuals trying to bring an overall unity to the team. The highlight of the season came with the Grafton lmdtational, in which the team took fourth place overall. In that meet, junior Roger Hamilton led all Cen- tral runners with an eleventh place finish and teammate, sophomore Rod Ander- son placed second for the team in 23rd place. Injuries towards the end of the season kept the Lancer harriers from placing any better than eleventh place at the Braveland Conference Meet. Roger Hamilton was top runner for the Lancers with 31st place, thirteen seconds slower than his previous time on the same course. The remainder of the team was well back in placing. Some consolation might be found in the fact that the other teams in the conference were of unusu- ally high caliber. Hopes for next year hinge on the already shown talents ol the young runners. Roger Hamilton pre- dicts, We should be fairly tough next year if we can avoid the injuries. 52 X Boys' Cross Country f B i 5
