Leaders of the Pack What were captains and co-captains? A captain in definition is one who commands or leads. To a drill team, a captain was just that. They helped the team in many ways. They were the leaders of the pack. They kept things under control. Captains and co-captains were nominated by the team and voted in. They helped to keep practices run- ning smoothlv because most team rnembers worked better taking direc- tions from someone their own age. I think the captains and co- captains supported the team a great deal. They practiced a lot of extra hours to make up great routines for us to perform, said Junior Sherry Marquardt.

This one ' s for you He has been a teacher. He has been a coach. Most importantly, he has been a friend. This year ' s sports section has been dedicated to Mr. jim Frank, who has been battling cancer for ten years. He has been a fighter. Like many of the athletes, he has overcome the odds and he will continue to fight. He has been an example to many. Both the cross-country and varsity girls ' basket- ball teams dedicated their seasons to him. Push harder!

THIS ONE ' S Fon Q . — ichelle Seely Sfionti it T akin ' it all the way To know that the closest point to perfection had been reached brought many athletes to tears. The elation could be experi- enced nowhere else. Athletes could look back on their season and have no doubt in their minds that all the hard work had been worth it. They were state champions. It was the coaches ' ultimate goal and the athletes ' highest aspiration. Only one team, or one athlete could experience this feeling each year. That was why win- ning state was so special. A state competition was no place for an athlete with a weak heart. The intensity was increc ble and the pace was fast ai furious no matter what tl sport. Athletes saved their b« performances for state compe tion — there were no points f second place. A loss at sta meant the end of high schc athletics for seniors and a loi trip home for the team. State slalom champion Pe Fischer shared some of his fei ings on what being a champii was like. The reward of bei state champion was worth the hard work and effort I ' ve put forth over the last fo years.
