Riding, Running, Racing . . TheyYe Serious! The 1987 school year produced en- thusiasm for our old varsity teams like the soccer team, and introduced new enthusiasm for our new girl’s softball team. These teams offered athletic students a chance to join together and ward of the competition. Some students prefered to ‘ go it alone.” This held true whether it was biking, horseback riding, running, or anything taking atheletic ability. These students used their own skill and stam¬ ina. Freshman Jennifer Easterly finished well in the 1986 La. Tinman Triathlon.

Of coarse not everybody competed. “I was walking (in shorts) at the Revel. Some guy pointed at me and said, ‘Hey that guy ' s suspended in mid air.’ I fig- ured it was time to do something about it.” said junior Paul Minnear. He then started riding several miles a day. When asked if it helped he replied, Well my calves stili aren’t as big as my girlfriends.” Competition or no competition, these students found ways to stay in shape and stili have fun. 98 • ON YOUK MAKK

Supporting Magnet Athletics Getting Into Gear Have you ever thought about what we get done with the help of equip- ment? Equipment helps with camp- ing, building a house, and even with cooking a meal. At Magnet, the equipment in the P.E. Department is used all of the time, but have we ever realized where we would be without it? The gumnas- tics team could not perform, the fenc- ing team could not fenee, and alas the tennis team could not play tennis. The equipment at Magnet may be limited, but it is used to its fullest po- tential. Everyday classes of active stu- dents use this equipment, which in tum enables them to leam and make progress in the desired sport. Without equipment, could you go back-packing in the mountains, fish- ing in Florida, or even go skiing in Colorado? Of course not. Equipment makes most of what we do possible. So next time you go fishing, do not complain about having to carry all of that stuff, because after all, without it you would very well be up a stream without a paddle.
