Three DHS tracksters qualify for state Three members of the DHS Track Team qualified for the State Meet held at Dobson High in Mesa: Justin Nichols, Christina Pena, and Andy Elmer. Track squad members had the opportunity to qualify for State in meets prior to the District Meet this year. Christina qualified in the 100 m. dash early in the season at the Willcox meet, and qualified for the 200 m. dash at the Morenci Rotary Invitational. Leslie Melton and Susan Bejarano did well at Districts, although they missed a State berth. Leslie placed fifth in the shot put and Susan earned sixth place in the 400 m. dash. Andy Elmer qualified for State in two events at Districts, as did Justin Nichols. Andy's events were the long jump and 110 m. hurdles, while Justin qualified in the discus and shot. At State, Christina placed second in both dashes. Her fiercest competition all year came in the form of B-East rivals Annette Rocha of Morenci and Kathy Pomaski from Clifton. Keldon Donaldson rounds the final turn. 16 Justin Nichols gets off a good throw.

Wildkat baseball team goes 10-10 The Wildkat Diamond Crew finished the season at an even 10- 10 mark, winding up fourth in the conference. Nine players will be lost to graduation, but there are some scrappy younger players coming up that show great promise. The Kats opened the season with a three-game sweep of Lordsburg. The team was not as successful in the Morenci Lions Tournament, as they lost the consolation final to Thatcher. The Kats' hopes for post-season play were dashed by an opening-round loss in the District Tournament to Willcox. Harvey Sotelo was selected to the All- Tourney Team in the Morenci Tournament, and he along with Richard Herrera and Benny Rodriguez were named to post-season All-Conference Teams. Players become spectators when the Kats come in to bat.
