fhe thrill of the field events HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING ON THE FIELD EVENTS TEAM? I love it! Jumping is my life. It feels really good knowing exactly how much I improve. Trina Etchart. I feel great because everyone helps one another and we all have respect for each other ' s talents. Dave Hewlett I like being on the team. It ' s the greatest team. Damon Mazy It ' s better than any other be- cause we realize that we are major contributors to the meets. Heather Becker WHAT DOES COMPETING IN FIELD EVENTS MEAN TO YOU? It means competing and a fight. When you run, it ' s either you win or you lose — one chance. In field events you get several tries to do your best, and 1 like to do my best. Trina Etchart. Competing in field events means a sense of pride in the work that I have put in and the determina- tion of getting a personal best. Dave Hewlett. I ' m in a group of people that have to have a lot to style and grace to accomplish and do their best for the team. Heather Becker. It means scoring points for my team. Traveling to great meets, and meeting many new people. Dori Babbcock. It means that you have to put all of the pressure on yourself. Steve ' Thompson. Competing in field events means a lot to myself, because these events are learned and practiced. Very rarely is there natural talent involved. Fred Radke DO YOU FEEL THAT BEING ON THE FIELD EVENTS TEAM COMPENSATED FOR ALL OF THE LONG HOURS THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAMMATES PUT IN? Yes. We put in a lot of hard hours. We do a lot of running to get us into shape. I know there are some days coming when it ' s going to get tougher, but I also know that all this hard work will pay off when it comes to state. Damon Mazy Yes. Despite the very hard prac- tices all of the hard work is worth it because of all the memories and all the run at the meets. Andy Goldsmith Yes. Practice is veiy valuable for a number of reasons. It teaches discipline, coordination, develops stamina, and provides endurance which can be used in every aspect of life. Fred Radtke Senior Andy Goldsmith pole vaults during the Fallon Invitational on March 19. Senior Heather Becker gets into position to throw the shot put. 154
