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, .

Run Around They fthe girlsj didn't let the shock of losing fellow teammates fto the new elligibilty rulesj interfere with their pride. Coach Fairbairn With the new 'Ano pass, no play rule, the Crockett Girls Track team diminished in size by over 60 95. We lost over one-third of our girls to the new eligibility rules and we lost another one-third to attitude problems toward the rule. The remaining one-third had tremendous depth. I was very proud of their performances and efforts, explained coach Peg Fairbairn. Crockett's top distance star, Senior Cherry Lynch, was plagued by a stress fracture in her early in the season. Before my injury I was really confident that I was going to make it to Regionals. I had been working my hardest and when my fracture developed, I became very dissappointed, and my hopes were almost completely shattered. I was able to compete in the 1600-meter run at the District Meet, but my injury affected my performance. Sophomore Lisa Sikes explained, We were the team with the highest ineligibility percentage in the District. This made it very hard on the remaining girls, but we still had a great time. I'm looking forward to next year and I hope the others now realize the impor- tance of good grades. At the District Meet, the Varsity Division may not have been completely filled by Crockett atheletes, but the Freshman girls team did and outstanding job by placing fourth with 50 points. Fairbairn commented, The kids worked really hard this year. They didn't let the shock of loosing fellow teammates and friends interfere with their pride. I'm looking forward to a bigger and better team next year. James Erben Above: Freshman Angela Coleman X if wins her heat in the 100 meter dash to qualify her for the Finals at the District meet.
