n ' RS ' ? 7 I ' R e ' K SOTfS SPRirrn Renwick Porter concentrates intensely on his form and speed as he runs away with the race. Being one of the fastest people on the team is tough. Consequently Renwick is expected to do good in every event in which he is entered. IS IT HEAVY TIM? Throwing a shot put isn ' t as easy as it appears. Strong muscles and a good back are needed to toss the heavy ball of steel any distance at all. Tim Crank demonstrates by the agony on his face as he attempts a throw. VARSITY TRACK MEMBERS ARE: M.

n i-RS Jiif o -p DRIVING HARD. Sophomore Chad Buchhottz concentrates to set the right position of his driver. He practices his drive before competition begins at the Austin tournament. SWING FAST AND HARD. Senior Stephen Bradbury practices his driving swing after school. Sometimes after school practice can be a drag but it is a necessity. He ' s a peal swinger ChA tccn Pemrce Hlone figure sits atop a hill kneelii g. His eyes, mind, and soul concen- trate on the field ahead. He calls for a club and Lvalks up to the ball. Sol- emnly he stares at the ball. With muscles tensed, he readies himself. He swings the club back and, POW — the ball soars into the air. It flies farther and farther. The ball lands a fetv feet from the hole. Only then does the figure look up to breathe a sigh of relief. I feel like I really had a successful year. When you give something your all, you eventually are rewarded. Since it was my senior year I wanted to really make the most of it, and I feel like I gave it my all, ' ' Troy Waddell said. Troy found much success during his senior year. At the Seguin tournament at Starcke Park he placed 4th. He got a double-eagle on a par 5 and 545 yard hole. For making a double-eagle he was certified by the largest golf magazine in the country, Golf Digest. For being cer- tified he received a pin and plaque and he also appeared in the magazine. Troy also received a 74, the lowest score, at the Seguin tournament which is now the present school record. He ended his season placing 4th in Dis- trict. I was really excited about appear- ing in Golf Digest; it will really be great to look back on that. I am planning to attend Southwest Texas State Univer- sity and play golf for them. I am really looking forward to playing in college, Troy said. Although the sport of golf is not the most popular sport, its popularity is growing. Coach Louis Garcia is the golf coach. Garcia is trying to upgrade the support and popularity of the sport. Troy played a big part in the recog- nition to the golf team ' s activities. In the past few years the team had grown along with its popularity. Bairy Huff and C ia feen Pearce Golf by Stacey Williams . . . 132
