GYMNASTICS Missed State By One- Tenth O A Point!! The Gymnastics team has had a spectacular season this year. We have improved a lot from last year, said Mrs. Hastings. Kellie Morrissey and Debbie Steckley fought their way through the first round of state competition. Kellie and Debbie participated in all four gymnastic events, floor, balance beam, vault and uneven bats. The Varsity consisted of: Denise Baker, Mandy Blue, Crissy Bums, Shelly Gardner, Lisa Mangel, Kellie Morrissey and Debbie Steckley. The junior Varsity consisted of: Kandi Appel, Chrissy Burns, Shelly Gardner, Kristen McDill, Lisa Mangel, Su- san Peschong, and Bridgett Schmoll. The team seemed more together as a whole which made us close and together as a family, said Lisa Mangel. Many of the GMHS gymnasts had previous training and have been in gymnastics for many years. Ir was good for our team to have a lot of practice. It was hard but worth it because it made us better, replied Denise Baker. They did work hard. They practiced after school, everyday from 2:30 to 5:00. Each one of the gymnasts' routines were based on attitude, form, appearance, difhculty of rou- tine and time on the floor. The coaches Becky Deignan and Sharon Dobbs plus the help of Mrs. Hastings did a super job of bringing the team together and making it a great year. A team should stick together and have a good attitude whether you win or lose!

ULLE BALL Lady Rams Get Tough Varsity Volleyball was not only exciting, but successful to say the least. Coached by fourth year coach, Sue Young, the team made it to Sub-Districts. There, the team played Wheatridge and Pomona, unfortu- nately losing to both. However, they achieved a strong victory over Lakewood. The girls were led by captains - jenny Beottler and Linda Kasel. Asked if injuries put a damper on the season, Linda Kasel felt that it did. We would get on a roll and someone would get hurt. Although the team suffered-due to many injuries, their nine wins and eleven losses earned them their best record in the last four years. jenny Beottler recalled their last game of the season at Columbine. We had a lot of support from the school. We played well and worked together and blew out the other team. Shari Messmer was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the Alameda Invitational Tourney. Also, jenny Beottler was acknowl- edged as being the number 1 rated server in the jeffco League. junior Varsity volleyball was extremely exciting and nerve-racking as well. The girls took a while to warm up, but as the season progressed, they soon got on the ball. Duane Hemphill, a third year coach at Green Mountain led his team to a 3-8 season. The team had two captains, Tracy Loschen and Kathie Kummet, both were enthusiastic about the season. Everyone seemed to get along well. Tracy Loschen summed it up, I think the main attitude was always a positive one. We were always out there wanting to win. A tournament played at Chatfield proved to be the team's drive to succeed. The team was down, but managed to pull together for this particular game. Tracy Los- chen remembered the incredible game with, We had a tournament at Chatfield and we won! It was great! With honest talent like this, there was no stopping thejunior Varsity Volleyball team. What a season! Sophomore volleyball achieved their best team record within the past four years. They ended the season with a four win and seven loss record. Coached by Pattijordan, who led the enthusiastic Green Mountain players for two years, the team finished with an overall eleven wins and eight losses. With experience and hard work, Green Mountain's sophomore team will be a winning sensation. Green Mountain had something new to add to their '87 Volleyball program, a fresh- man team. This was the first year the team actually got off it's feet, participating in the fullest. Successfully coached by Chrisjansen, the girls achieved the best record among all the volleyball teams at Green Mountain. The team took first in the jeffco League, due to their incredible nine wins and one loss. Freshmanjulie Love said, We were pushing for a 10 and 0 record, but we did our best! The team had many young members, which at times was tricky. It was hard getting ev- eryone together, she explained, Despite their struggle, Green Mountain will surely have something to look forward to in the future. jenny Beottler takes perfect position for the kill. jilljanney gracefully jumps to spike the ball. if L 'Y 5 WSL ' . , ,. all EW-5 ' ' . if- 'ai Vi an ag 5 M . . ,gy 'Zara r 'fe ilu c,1 is' J Top Row: jeremy Neu, Teresa Frith, Gina Wilmes, Melani Sanger, Terri Daniels, Coach Sue Young.
