BASEB LL 1987 It 's going going gone The Varsity Baseball team had a great season this year. Their skill and team effort led them to a record of 11-5. Kei Lehigh said, I felt we honestly had the best team in the state and should have won it all. Unfortu- nately, as stated by Mr. Denzin, We lost our intensity at the wrong times, in big games. As much as the team deserved to go to state they didn't quite make it. One team member said, The thing I felt we were the best at was that we could come from behind after a rough first couple of innings. We had a lot of heart and could get each other pumped up! Some of the players that played exceptionally well were: Chris Hank - All Conference in outfield, pitcher and utilities mang Dave Mungle - All Conference designated hitter. Paul San- taniello, Lance Gemberling and Troy jacklin received honorable mention. Some highlights of the season were the record break- er in double plays defensively, the shut out victory over Arvada West and the successful recovery ofjim Kenne- dy after surgery. The coaches were: Mick Denzin and George Dim- widdie for varsityg and Bob Martinez for junior varsity. One player complimented the coaches and their effort by saying, I felt we had a real good coaching staff and they taught us a lot. A funny incident that happened was told by Kei Lehigh. We had won a game and the team came running on the field and during the excitement Scott Matson inadvertantly punched coach Denzin in the nose. Chris Hank told about a memorable game against Wheatridge. Green Mountain lost the lead in the fifth inning to the opposing team. During the sixth inning, GM pulled together and hit several key shots and on defense, their pitching staff shut down the Farmer up- rising. Green Mountain pulled from behind to grab victory from the clutches of defeat several times. The exciting, last inning wins over Golden and Evergreen . . . , as told by Coach Denzin made for a nerve racking season. The Green Mountain baseball team never ceases to excite our school with their outstanding level of play and competition. Way to go guys! 6 Baseball Dave Mungle pats Scott Hagan for his good hit.

TRACK 1987 Fleet feet Track is a sport requiring great endurance and dedication. Green Mountain High school's 1987 track team was filled with spirit and team support. From shot to hurdles to the mile to relays each player must be willing to give all they can. Whether on Freshmen team, or a varsity runner, all the players should be given great recognition. Varsity has almost 65 boys but only 15 girls on the team. The boys and girls prac- ticed separately but when the meets arrived their mutual support pushed the participants even more. The pressure is great but the rewarding feeling is just as big. I think the only thing we really need to work on , comments Coach McGat1in, is relaxing before we compete. The track teams have a total of 6 coaches. Coach Hastings, Coach Shepard, Coach Brovsky, Coach McGatlin, Coach Bell and Coach Cook. They all did a wonderful job pushing and counseling the track team members. The Freshman team had a much lower turnout than most years. The boys only had 16 players and the girls team totaled 11 members. Both the girls and boys teams particpate in meets with Dustan jr. High School. Even with the unusally low number, the team's record was extremely good com- pared to previous expectations. Ir was really hard, I mean only having a dozen players really handicapped us. com- mented a freahm'en player. Overall, whether because of spirit or uni- fied support, Green Mountian's track teams did exceptionally well. Brian Bowker breaks the tape arter winning one of the short distance sprints. Christy Springfield and Cindy Craig show some of the great support among the team members.
