24 ik . o 7 May vie : “3S pe ; The fall sports season is traditionally a slow time for Jewell High School, but this year the Cross Country season proved to be an exciting time for the people involved. Although cross country is not a popular sport with the general student population, it proved very exciting and rewarding for the students who par- ticipated. The season started off late this year and unlike most sports, the team picked up members as the season progressed. The first people to join the team were Todd Johnson, Bobby Robinson, Dante Hill, and Rod Camberg. The idea of winning a race soon caught on in Jewell, and a couple intrepid girls decided to try their luck. Sallie Walker and Laura Preston had never run a cross country race, but this did not dampen their spirits. Ing- noring injuries (for the most part) the girls managed to do well in the races that they entered. Cross Country 1980 The season was getting on when it became appar- ent that the team needed more members to qualify as an “official” team. To bolster the spirit of the other members and to experience the agony of a long distance runner, Tim Crawford, Allen Hecker, and Jim Collier signed up and Jewell finally had a full complement of seven runners. The last race of the season was with Tillamook and to celebrate a great season, a weiner roast on the beach was held. It was a beautiful night at the beach (little wind, stars, etc.) and as the team mem- bers stood around the fire eating the traditional “beach fare,” it seemed to be a perfect ending for a cross country season. 1: Dante Hill gets ready for a race. 2: Jewell’s cross country runners get ready to start the race. 3: The team discusses strategies with other school runners.

This year was not a winning season for the Jewell volleyball team, but it was a year where both the team and the coach learned many valuable lessons about the nature of sports and how to play as a team. Under the leadership of Coach Dave Hiebert, the team played many games to learn what it means to be a “Fighting Bluejay.” The season might not have been the best, but the banana split feed at the end served to make it a season to be remembered for a long, long time. 1: Volleyball Team for 1980: (L to R) Coach Dave Hiebert, Linda Casad, Lisa Rinkes, Dawn Smith, Joan Layman, Lynda Adamson, Deena Sprague, Brenda Morgan.
