36 Two compete mf sta te meet oing to the State Track meet was a fit- ting climax to the in- dividual performances of ju- nior Amber Weyer and sen- ior Mary Dolezal. Weyer finished 5th in the high jump while Dolezal took part in the discus. At the beginning of the track season, Dolezal said her goal was to go to State after just missing it last year by eight inches. Another exciting point of the season was taking fifth in the NCAA League Track meet. The Lady Bearcats got several outstanding per- formances to earn 63 points and a fifth place finish. Fourteen of those points came from the personal bests of sophomore Shelly Svaty who ran a 63.8 in the 400 meter to place second, and her sister Kim who threw the discus 102-2 to fin- ish third. Christy Fleming turned in a personal best 27.92 in the 200 to place third, and Am- ber Weyer cleared 5-2 in the high jump to win the league title. I felt that a lot of the girls performed to their maxi- mum in a number of the meets, Coach Terry Mad- dux said. To many participants, track is different than any other sport because of the individual aspect. You compete as an indi- vidual, and sometimes it's a lot more nerve wracking, said junior Kim Svaty, be- cause you have a personal goal you want to meet. Those receiving letters for the '87 season were senior Mary Dolezal, juniors Kim Svaty, Amy Stone, Dana Miller, Amber Weyerg sopho- mores Christy Fleming, Shelly Svaty, Dawn Pruitt, freshmen Tasha McAtee and Tara Werner.
