eamwork Gymnasts swing into award winning seasons despite injuries and new eligibility standards There were no large crowds to see the twelve Cougar gymnasts like there were at the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles, only enthusiastic parents and family members. Despite the low crowd turn-outs at the meets, the Crockett gymnastics team pulled together and managed to build a 16 and 2 record for the boys and a 13 and 5 mark for the girls. Our goal for this year was just to reach a personal best,', stated coach Kathy Fears. The 1985 competitive season for the team began in late January although the team had been working out since early fall. The boys began with two wins in a dual meet against Austin and McCallum. It gave us a chance to see how much work we had to do in the next two months, said the coach. The major foes for the boys this season were Travis and L.B.J. These teams were the only full teams with experience. Crockett defeated Travis in both the op- tional and compulsory meets but lost to the Jaguars in both meets. Outstanding boys team member was all-arounder Ran- dy West. He placed first in district and in division I on pommel at the districtfregional meet in March. West also qualified for State gymnastics championship in April where he placed 5th in division I. I had hoped that he'd have qualified on other events. Randy has always been a specialist on pommel horse but I thought he had a chance in other events, said coach Fears. The horse has always been my strongest event, said West, it is a good feeling leaving high school knowing that you ac- complished your extracurricular goals as well as your academic goals. The boys team placed second in the district and third in the regional meet. Coach Fears said that she expected second in district, and had hoped that others had qualified but the scores were too high , so she wasn't surprised. There was a lot of teamwork fin our teamb that we didn't see in other schools. The girls had a more difficult time because of the diverse competition. Many of the teams the girls came up against were private club teams which puts them in a different division but location keeps them in the same district. Teams like Austin, Reagan and Lanier are all divi- sion II teams. The girls opened with a loss to Austin and a win against Mc- Callum. Even with the loss of the top two all-arounders and the injury of another at the districtfregional meet, the girls ended their season by placing fourth in district and third in region. After losing the two all-arounders, the team came closer together and picked up new events, said Fears. by Ana Maria Saldana A Girls Gymnastics Scorecard - ., Crockett-McCallum V W v-,I y I ' I 'U'- Crockett-Austin L Q 'fy Crockett-Johnston W M . groctett Iaeagan d Vit' A f .5 ,roc ett- estwoo ' w - groctett-kalgier so ' '-'ifx roc ett- n erson ' , groctett-LBJ w f X- X , f - 'lx rmc ett-Travis W X , ' gi-E Crbckett-King W , ,P A - ,' , 1, .
