Between the span ot years, lenniter Mel- ton, DHS's swim team, has had her share ot success. oing from pulleys to pools swimmers lead Way As a freshman, len- niter ended up ninth at the high school state meet, and as a sophomore at the state meet she had an im- pressive victory allow- ing her to claim the ti- tle ot High School State Champion . However, her junior year she had various injuries which forced her to sit out a year. My sophomore year, I changed clubs and the new atmo- sphere and coaches really gave me a litt and I did well, but atter a year the drive really got to me and l burned out, com- mented Melton. During the 83-84 and 84-85 school years she drove to Fort Forth every day atter school to work out. Her senior year the club she worked out with changed its location to Las Colinas and Melton started to state swimming again.

His eyes gazed into space as the assis- tant came to give him a final whiff of the magic solution. He ap- proaches the enemy and gives a linal growl of anticipation. He lifts the weight and the judges light up three green lights for his perfection. Sports are often thought of as mental testings as well as physical testings. Weight lifting is one sport that has many mind tricks. From lis- tening to music to smelling ammonia, many students and coaches believe these tricks help them. Senior Chris Cavi- ness listened to the 1081 Powerlifting soundtrack of Vision Quest before he squatted his maximum at the Cedar Hill Meet. I don't usually lis- ten to music but l had seen other guys do it and decided to try it. I lifted 600 pounds and won second place, so l guess it worked! Chris said. Training every day is very important but at the meet when the adrenaline is flowing, emotional tricks help, stated coach Nick lunior. by Betty Coggfns DETERMINATION SHOWING in his eyes, Senior Chris Caviness squats 6 0 0 pounds to finish second in the Dis- trict meet as Junior Kelvin Logan spots for him.
