The 1984-85 Boy's Swim team may not have done as well as the team from the previous year, but their season was full of many positive accomplishments. This year was the first one which the AAU rule affected the coaching staff. The rule states that: A swimmer can't train during the high school season and the rest of the year with the same coach and still retain their eligibility for high school com- petition. The coach must resign from one or the other team, or the swimmer would have to change to a different year round team in order to swim for their high school. This rule prevented Dale Leon- hart from coaching this year, and in fu- ture years. Melanie Hurley was the coach for the boys for the 1984-85 season. De- spite the change, the boys team adjusted well. They placed third overall in the League Meet. ln the Jeffco Relay Meet, Jody Perry and Mike Harvey set a team Back row Manager Cindy Ploen, Coach Melanie Hurley, Lance Trebilcock, Mark Erickson, Jeff Buffington, Jim Knox Gary Estrada.

The team had a 3-3 record in dull meets. They dominated Colum- bine, Lakewood, and Alameda High Schools. In the State Meet, which was held at the Air Force Academy, Jody Perry, senior, placed 5th overall. Lance Trebilcock, junior, took third place in the 100 meter breaststroke. The team's manager were Cindy Ploen. The team captain was Jody Perry. Class captains were: Steffen Mehnert, senior, Lance Trebilcock, junior, and Lee Mathis, sophomore. The swim team had a very hard sched- ule, though. They had to practice two times a day, before and after school. This created a problem with what classes they could take because of the time the pool was open. The practices also ate into their homework time. But the hard work pays off and most of the team would say it was well worth it. T-'s.P'r,

Varsity This years Varsity girls basketball team had a record of 1 and 18, but it was not a season of defeat for our lady rams. It was a season of learning and growth. A team of only three senior and four juniors the rest of the team was made up of sopho- mores, three of which were starters lChrissy Young, Pam Burich, and Jacquie Falshingl. Their season was full of hared work and improvement, which is some- times harder to achieve. Coach Dave Schenk said that all he asks from his girls is to give 10005, and they almost never gave anything less. Having a losing sea- son can present a lot of pressures on and off the court, this team decided that they were a team and they would play as a team and push everything out of their minds. And play they did. They never gave anything less than a hard fought game even when playing the number two team in the state, Pomona. Our girls lead the game all the way till the third quarter when they sliped and lost the game by only ten slim points. Their win came from Arvada West by one point, a win well deserved, Sandy Bostwick the teams co- captain always presented a sense of lead- ership for the team, she lead the team throughout their victory and through their defeats. Jacquie Falshing, a sopho- more, really came thhrough for the team this year. By the end of the season she was scoring ten points and averaging about 12 rebounds a game. Lynn Felder- man, also a senior was a big help with her perfected outside shot. All the team had to do in time of pressure wa give her the ball and she'd get it to the hoop. The third senior was Lisa Osborne. She was the quick guard of the threesome, driving the line and getting the ball into the mid- dle was her specialth. People often teased the 5'6 junior, Char Reoghm, about her shot having snow on it. That player certainly had arch on her shot. Nobody ever teased her about being close to 100070 on the line and swooshing a lot of her outside shots. Andrea John- son, one of the newer players on the team, came to Green Mrn. with an aver- age of ten points a game. She proved her ability through scoring 15 points against Bear Creek. Chris Howland, a junior, proved herself as a player that knew what she was doing on the court. She was al- ways concious of what was going on and could come off the bench and carry through any orders that the coach would give her. Scoring an average of 12 points a game and always daring to drive the line for a layup is the starting sophomore Chrissy Young. Pam Burich proved her- self as a real need to the team against Pomona, she went and in the first few minutes that she was out, scored six points, four on quick drives and one on her always improving outside shot. The tallest of the team is the 6'1 center Ann- Marie Orton. This year she strived on improvment and towards the end of the season she proved herself and someone that could be relied on to rebound and get the easy lay-ups. As you can see this years team has been one of togetherness and has shown the need to work as a team, as one of unity. They are a fairly young team that has the potential to be great in the years to come. before their game.
