Just o So-so Seoson With a fifth place finish in district, the girls' track team ended with an average sea- son. The team did about what was expected consid- ering the new district and the small number of girls on the team compared to other schools, Coach Glenda McKee said. Our strengths were high jump, 3200 meter run, and one mile run, but we were weak in sprints and the l00m and 200m runs. High points of the season came with sophomore len- nifer ladlot's capturing first in district high jump compe- tition and the mile relay team's placing second in district. Competing at district and regionals were the most exciting moments of the season, said freshman Lau- ra Ferguson, who finished third in high jump at the dis- trict meet. Senior Felisa Gambrell, who provided much of the speed for the 1600 meter re- lay team, was named by Coach Glenda McKee as the most valuable player. Coppell has never been strong in girls' track, but we're getting better, said Coach McKee. xzxss r GIRLS' TRACK: CF:-ont Rowl Sharla Sapp, Siv Lauv, Tracy Black, Mary Watson. fSecond Rowl Jennifer Niederkorn, Nikki Pearce, Suzanna Rolls, Melanie Ferguson. ffhird Row, Candy Liberto, Felisa Gambrell, Wendy Webb. fBack Row, Coach Diane Raines, Erin Brown, Claudia France, CeeJay Johnson, Jennifer Jadlot, Coach Glenda McKee. 9 0 SPORTS 2 6 ml R 4. 5 wt? gs Q fi Sw EQ 'Q Z5 by S521 5 P s 'ti fr fx s me 3i?i:5,..?41 tif : Q 1 s V t.. - t, Q gg? it , , .QR ,L , , - its - Q Vg ix ti 5 5 -S1 . 4 :E TI?

Wra pin If Up FIRST AID. Senior Kevin Mor- oney 's knee injury keeps Trainer Lynn Whitaker and sophomores Skip Williams and Doug Blevins busy during a varsity game. Thoroughly Trained On a normal day we tape ankles, clean the train- ing room, and talk about athletic injuries, said junior April Adams. Cn game days we stand by the side and stay ready in case ot an injury. Trainers deal with the prevention, rehabilitation and treatment ot injuries. They can be seen serving water and wrapping ankles at most athletic events. They are the people behind the scenes whom teams just couldn't do without. What is usually not no- ticeable to spectators is all the cleaning required, like scrubbing down the whirl- pool after an infectious soak. The worst part is hav- ing no recognition, said ju- 9 2 SPORTS nior April Adams, relating the fact that tor the most part a trainers work goes unnoticed. Taking the bad with the good, however, is part ot their job. The worst part is smelling Kraig Ware's feet, complained sopho- more Skip Williams. But sophomore Doug Blevins disagreed, saying, The worst part of being a trainer is putting up with Brad Bel- lows' jokes. With the number ot train- ers increasing trom last year, more athletes, espe- cially the girls' teams, bene- fitted because more games could be covered by the trainers, according to head trainer Lynn Whitaker.
