I 1 In The Swim Cf Things Swimming forty to fifty laps may sound like a lot of exercise but its an everyday task for the eleven members of the swim team, a new sport added at Glenn this year. A lack of bodies and an abundance of travel were the main handicaps of the strug- gling but determined team. When asked about the team's first year, junior Donald Durham said, Due to the fact that we didn't have many members this year, it was technically impossi- ble to have a good season as a team, but we still tried to achieve individually. The swim team could often be found practicing long hours at the Kernersville YMCA. Darren Swim Team Members: S. Melton, D. Phillips, F. Evans, T. Setliff, P. Marcus, Coach Raleigh, E. Woodard, D. Lauten, D. Durham, J. Beard, T. Snider. Competition Lauten commented, Coach Ra- leigh pushes us hard but it's worth it. You must have endur- ance, especially for the distance races . Junior Tim Snider also commented, A'Sometimes it was frustrating because we had so few people and knew we didn't have a chance, but Coach Ra- leigh kept us working and believ- ing in ourselves . Though they had many handi- caps to overcome as a new sport, the swim team made the most of eleven dedicated ath- letes and a talented coach. Their individual achievement made this small but powerful team a team of winners. Preparing for competition, Dawn Phillips adjusts her goggles.

Getting Into The Swing Most of the last year's base- ball team returned this year, bringing more experience and skill for this season. There was a positive out look about the team from the very beginning. Said senior Dean Ad- ams, at the opening of the sea- son, There's no way we can't have a winning season with coaches like Mr. Howard and Mr. Lautenf' The only negative aspect of baseball this year was the fact that no games could be played at Glenn. The home games were played at Civitan Park due to the new football stadium. The team worked hard this year, perfecting the skills they had from last year's work to- gether. Practice's were even longer than usual, because they had to be held at Kernersville Elementary School. The team had to travel to the field, prac- tice, then come home which took up a lot of time. Senior Jeff Howerton said, Though the practices get long and interfere Competition 5 ii! Varsity Baseball: T. McCann, S. Jenkins, J. Howerton, S. Barringer, D. Adams, R, Bullins, S. Martin, R.

Keene, Coach Howard Concentrating on a strike, James Marion releases the pitch. with other things, I just like being with the fellows and playing ball! With most of the players re- turning from the last year, being on the team was special. Said junior Sandy Bullins, Every- body works together, and - win or lose - we're still all one team. Credited with a positive atti- tude and togetherness, the 1986 Varsity baseball team was one to remember. , ,,,.. , .. M., .. . . WE, ... i. Ai Wg 1 my
