Experience Building The 1982 boys Tennis Team en- dured a rebuilding year, which should place them at the top of the county in 1983. This year, the team's record was two and nine. The coach accounted for this because of the inexperience of the team. Also, the team had even dual matches and one district tourna- ment, where they placed eighth. As Coach Weaver stated, This year's team had the hardest workers on it, and the team was very coachablef' Weaver also said that if more people had turned out for the team it would have helped, The Ram's squad contained only four lettermen from last year. They were Larry Maass at -732 singles, Jeff Pietsch at 33 singles, Chris Harvey and Jeff Werned at Jil Doubles. Next year's team will posess the tal- ents of eight returning lettermen, in- cluding sophomores sensation Steve Willougby, who displayed flashes of brilliance at the highly competitive 9951 singles spot. Also returning will be Werner, i?2 doubles team Troy Tyson and Jeff Shearer, f7lf3 doubles team Bryan Kor- tum and Chris Park, and 9954 doubles team Tom Meyer and Scott Anderson. These eight should provide a solid nucleus and the addition of Freshman Bill Peterman and Curt Vigil should make the team a contender for the Jefferson County title. Willougby feels student support at matches is neccessary for succes. We defintely play better in front of a crowd. Q , 1 ..... V V I... ' -wan-My -'W-...,,,g-www.

League Record Perfected GMHS girls' swimming team took second place in the league this year, the highest place ever since the swim team was established. They lost to Wheat Ridge High School, who has won the title for eight years in a row. Cheryl Cartin coach, described the GMI-IS team as being incredibly ner- vous and WRI-IS as having the com- posure and championship qualityn to win, Where we lost the meet was in the morning prelims. We out swam Wheat Ridge that night performance wise, and we drowned them in invitation- als! Cartin pointed out. Cherry Creek and Arapahoe High Schools were the only two schools to triumph over GMHS in the duel meets, and the final was 9-12. The league record was 5-0. They also had a total of ten girls to qualify for the state competition, quite a bit more than nor- mal tor GMHS. Next year they have two state divers and five state swimmers return- ing, as well as picking up three other strong swimmers. This should strengthen the team as they are only losing one exceptional swimmer. Ann Comacho, junior, added that next year GMI-IS will be a little stronger' and WRHS should be a Ulittle weaker than this year. Based on the points each person accumulated, Dorene Hedin was awarded the Most Valuable Swimmer. Jana Zamboni received the Coach's Award. This is based mainly on atti- tude performance and the example she sets for other team members. Swim team began practice in mid- August at Green Mountain Swim Club and their season ended in November. 154 - Girls' Swimming The 1982-83 GMHS Girls! swim team Carrie Bradsby flies through the air in a perfect dive.
