Four year letter winner, Linda Wuellner, who also placed her fresh- man year at state tournament, reflects, My junior year I felt, was my best year, because it was my best average and it was the highest ever, when our team was ranked eleventh in the state. Melinda Poe was very surprised when she received 2nd in individuals. But it would have been better if the team would have been able to go with her for morale support. Mrs. Collins was very pleased to have a team that was as experienced as they were. Coach Collins herselfhas been bowling for 25 years. Next year's team will be very strong because of the four returning lettermenf' She added that the only expectations she had were to return to state and to have an undefeated season which they did.

What's Your Best Thing A water fsnowj bunny. Lori Krueger has been water ski- ing since she was 5 years old. She has won many awards with her ski- ing. In 1984-1985 she won the Re- gional Championship and tried for first in Nationals at Zachary, Lou- isiana. Lori is also thinking about going professional and possibly do- ing some traveling with her skiing but she has not yet decided. Lori's father, Fred Krueger, a 1984 cham- pion himself, has been Lori's trainer for many years. . She also has an official trainer who works with her in Tournament time like last sum- mer. Lori and her father are not the only ones who water ski in her fam- ily. Her mother skies, her 12 year old sister, and her 9 year old brother also ski. My family and I go up to Burrow Pit in Harristown. Water Skiing is a great way to relax, to get a good workout and to stay cool while you're doing it. Lori does plan on competing this summer again at many events. right: Lori hits the waves at Burrows Pit this past summer. in in K Hoops equal TWO points! Aundra Holloway has been play- ing ball for four years, only one in high school. Aundra mainly played forward areas because she likes the rough areas of the court. I was shocked when I found out that I was picked as MVP. An MVP is not possible unless he has a strong team to back him up, stated Holloway. His college plans are un- decided at this time. Danny Androff, was a four year letter winner, the only one in Eisen- hower's History to have been on a Varsity starting team since the first day of practice. It was pretty scary. but after a while it became easier. I always had a lot of pressure to do good work, commented Danny. One of Danny's goals was to break the school record for the points scored in a four year period. Danny 130 Sports had scored 833 points at the end of hisjunior year. The school record is 1242 points by jerry Nixon. We had a great seasong we lost a few games that we should not have lost, like to SDHS and MHS. Dan- ny has played basketball for eight years, since he was 10. He has made the All Macon County Team for the past three years. Getting MVP at the ISU Tournament was a great experience, but winning the tourna- ment was even a better one, said Danny. Danny's college plans are also undecided, Eisenhower will miss having an Androff on the boys' varsity teams next year! We wish both players a success- ful college career. right: Aundra and Danny show their re bounding ability. . in Bump, Set, Three of the players from the 1984-1985 volleyball team made the Big 12 Conference Team this year. First was sophomore setter Beth Spycher, who was picked this year to help in the setting de- partment. Beth has only played ball for three years, and has re- ceived one Varsity letter. I was stunned when I found out that I had made the Big 12, said Beth. junior newcomer Dawn Pit- man, has only been playing ball for three years. She did not play her sophomore year. I plan on and Spike! moving to the backrowg I couldnt believe it! I was so surprised when I found out I made it. Four year letter winner Kathy Deardorff, who has made the Big 12 Conference Team for the past two years, has played volleyball for five years total. Kathy would like to have a volleyball scholar- ship. It will be hard to get one because I'm only 5'4 tall, ex- plained Deardorff. Kathy feels that this year was her best year. WE WISH KATHY LUCK ON HER SCHOLARSHIP. left: Dawn gets down into ready position.
