The freshmen were a major factor in this year ' s women ' s track team ' s success, commented Coach Dorothy Dillon. The ' 86 track team went from 2 wins the year before to a winning season this year. The team proved to be strong in the distance events. The weaknesses were in the 300 hurdles and high jump. Freshmen Amy Kuroiwa and Resa Persons ran hard to win many races. They both won C.S.A.C. and went to state finals. Senior Susan Wenzlick did well in shot and discus. Other runners helping to lead the team to its success were Freshmen Letta Neely and Sophomore Michelle Parrinello. Also Freshmen Kris Thomas was noted for major im- provement. The Most Valuable award went to Amy Kuroiwa and the Citizenship Honor was awarded to Michelle Parrinello. Coach Dillon was very happy with this season ' s record, but she thinks the ' 87 team should be as good or better. She is hoping for more sprinters from the freshman class. Track requires z lot of hard work and dedication. Coach Dillon said, The challenge will not be getting them out, bu1 keeping them out.

A Slide to Victory Ending their season with a record of 14 wins and 8 losses, the varsity softball team of 1986-87 had a very successful year. I think my girls were very close to their goals, despite the breaks just not falling for us, noted Coach Ann Kuper. Strong hitting, fielding, and tough practices were the keys to our productive season. Highlighting their season was be- ng the underdog at the beginning Df the season and then going on and beating Center Grove to tie for 2nd place in the Conference. The girls beat Center Grove by a score of 10 to 5; the Trojans later went on to win state. The Most Valuable Player of the 1986 season was Senior LaDonna Ayres. Receiving the Citizenship Award was Senior Joan Beasley. Returning letterman to this years team are Shannon Wright, Amey Asher, Kristi Krodel, Diane Roe, and Debbie Tutsie. Reserve Softball D.C.
