Spikilslq To A CoNfEnENcE FOURTH With the realization of the Braveland Conference, the 1980 Varsity Volleyball Team faced some tough new competition as well as encountering a few old rivalries during their season. The Lancer spikers finished fourth in the conference of four teen teams with a record of sixteen wins and ten losses. Although the team had plenty of talent, it was inconsistently reflected in their record. Because the only returning lettermen were Carol Busche, Sue Pelland, and Patti Wahlen, most of the team was comprised of the 1979 Junior Varsity players. Senior Carol Busche comments Although most of the team was young, we worked together, helped each other, and learned from our mistakes. I think that we proved that we were a good all-around team, but our spiking was our strongest point. We had good offense, defense, and basic skills. Many times during the season, the Lanc- ers' spikers treated the fans to an exciting game of hard-hitting volleyball. The girls played exceptionally well against Port Washington, Nicolet, Grafton, and Brook- field Central. Strong serving, good court communication, and hard-driven spikes -.-,,,,.., ,S --Vs 3 r -.1 ,,, gained through hours of practice always helped the girls. Senior Sue Pelland added I think the team spirit and cooperation by the players was great. We knew we could be one of the strongest teams in the conference, and hard work and determination helped us reach our goal. Contributing strength to the team were Senior Captain and M.V.P. Carol Busche, Seniors Holly Johnson, Sue Pelland, Mar- tha Schauer, Patti Wahlen, and Linda Wandt. Providing depth and promising a strong team for next year were Juniors Leslie Rushman, Marla Goetzke, Lynda Hipp, Chris Nelson, Melissa Mundt, and Sophomore Jeannine Hintz. Junior Marla Goetzke has high praise for Leslie Flushman, Toward the end of the season, she was our best spiker. From the beginning to the end of the season, she really improved. To tell the truth, l think she'll vie for M.V.P. next year. UQ Junior Chris Nelson goes up for a spike on a Graf- ton opponent. f2j Senior Sue Pelland puts one over the net.

Cinl Swimmiivq YouNq TEAM lAces FifTl1 T STATE Completing the 1980 season with an exceptional 8-0 record, the Varsity Girl's Swim Team once again proved their great ability, trouncing all their conference oppo- nents, and dominating Braveland Swim- ming. The team was really good. The com- petitive atmosphere of the team helped to motivate everyone into performing at her best, explained Junior Jeanne Adelmann. The Braveland Conference Meet was an easy victory for the Lancers. In the process of snagging the conference championship, seven swimmers qualified for the State Meet. At State, Sally Olson, Alison Ring, Jamie Ring, and Jackie Hibbard competed in the 400 yard Freestyle Relay: Jamie Ring, Cathy Consigny, Patty Busby, and Chris Shields swam the 200 Medley Relay, in indi- vidual events, Alison Ring swam the 200 Freestyleg and Cathy Consigny swam 200 Individual Medley. Although none placed, the meet provided valuable experience for next year. We did as well as was expected. Winning Conference and placing in the top five at State were our major goals, and both of those happened. Next year's team looks great: this year's team was so young, com- ments Senior Chris Shields. Historically, the Lancer Swim Team has always been fortu- nate enough to have a bumper crop of young swimmers willing to work hard to bring out their natural talent. The coaches were an important factor in keeping the team together. Recalls Kathy O'Keefe, They gave the team spirit. Varsity Coach Bob Dixon and Junior Varsity Coach Kathy Drueke helped the girls work as a team rather than as individuals. Providing a backbone for future teams, the Sophomores seemed to be the basis of this year's team. Junior Karen Elwell agrees: We had several very strong team members of all ages this season, but the Sophomores seemed to be strongest. With that much strength though, the 1982 team should be dominating. With Brookfield Central's win- ning tradition, the excellent Sophomores maturing, the rigorous training schedule, and the spirit of confidence, the 1981 Girl's Swim Team should be a champion, both in the Braveland Conference and in the State. 111 inhaling deeply, freshman swimmer Patty Busby presses hard to finish the breast stroke portion ol the individual medley, an event which requires the swimmer to be adept at all four competitive strokes. Q21 Gliding towards the wall for her first flip turn in the 100 yard backstroke, Sheila Lavin pushes with all her strength. 131 Pushing hard and breathing close to the water, senior Chris Shields begins her 200 yard individual medley. l 1980 Girls' Varsity Swimming - Matt: Katy Oliver, Lisa Glenn, Karen Post. t2ndy: Coach Dixon, Chris Hallet, Nancy Roth, Corina Kahler, Cathy Cosigny, Patty Busby, Coach Druecke. t3rd1: Karolyn Cummings, Sally Olsen, Jamie Ring, Chris Shields, Amy McCool, Alene Czeszynski.
