AS A PART of Lori Fox's routine a slight Young Team Matures Fast 533ET.i2.'Z?ZiSm bar 'O bar haf no Experience is one of the big- gest assets there is to a sports' team. But it did not seem to be that way for girls' gymnastics. Juniors were the upper classmen on this young team, as they led them on to a very respectable '1- 2 conference record. Co-captain Lori Fox says, The potential that we had to work together was the key to win- ning. The floor and the vault were the team's best areas, thought Sophomore Sue Litschke. Al- though Sue was just a sopho- more, she advanced on to the sub regions along with three of her teammates, and later on to state where she did very well. The team performed excellent this year, but WATCH OUT NEXT YEAR!! ONE OF THE MORE difficult moves on the beam, Dona Saatzer, seems to have no trou- ble with her cartwheel. 1980-81 GYMNASTICS: Front row: Coach LuAnn Peine, Sue Litschke, Coach Debbie Bothwell.

As fall stayed far into Octo- ber, the Hastings Slalom Ski Team began their first days of practice. Those practices consist- ed of stretching, running, and muscle-building exercises. Although the snow never seemed to come, it somehow got on the hills of Welch Village. The skiers got into the swing of things quickly, as both the boys and girls had a 6-l conference record. For the most part, Laura Lunde commented, When our best racers had bad days we had to make a team effort. This method seemed to work well, for the girls took lst in re- gional competition, while boys took 3rd. For the cross country skiers, snow couldn't be created, but patient people were. After a while snow began to fall and the season was under way. Tammi Hatten added: This wait really didn't affect the sea- son. The teams put out an all out effort, which should make them proud. TAKING LONG and easy strides, Senior Torn Robinette has a satisfied look as he stays in the lead.
