Softball Young exhibit am it Playing strongly throughout the season, the M'Maids fought hard and were in the running for the state championship playoffs up until the last game. The girls' Varsity Softball team' tallied up a successful record of 13-5-1, an accomplishment that was third best in the PIL. Although hampered bye bad weather and a lack of senior leader' ship, their willingness to play ball and their all-around ability to work well together as a team proved to be the key to their successful season record, We had a pretty young team, but worked well together, We had disci- pline and overall abilitylas a team. stated Freshman Rosalynnl Hortsch. Teamwork and a strong defense have been the abilities that kept us going strong throughout the sea- son, claimed Senior Kathleen Shen man. The entire team performed well. Although we lacked leader- ship, an extraordinary performance by Kathleen kept the team together because she made the other teams think when she was on both offense and defense, commented Coach Ken Trapp. The JV teams compiled a record of 9 wins and 7 losses for the season. 'fThe performance of the team was excellent. Consistently high batting averages proved to be the strongest point of the game. As a team they hit over .500 and eight girls hit over .600 throughout the season, stated Coach Jim McCallister. We worked well together and learned a lot along the way, claimed Sophomore Shei- ley Frank. i g Although the JV team moved many players up to Varsity, their determination and ability to play led them to complete a respectable sea- son, Freshman Tiifiailfosterman cone cluded, My first year of softball at Marshal! was great. I learned many new skills and our team was out- standing in spirit. 5 E A . l swf Z K, it wk., , , ,rf 'fag umm or jg s we -' r. ,df , A 5 MAKING TRACKS around the bases on her way to an , undisputed home run is Junior Belinda Noguez.

Track W ather no obstacle t i Cold hands, freezing feet, icy wind and snow - those elements were ex- perienced bythe 16 Marshall track team members who participated in i the invitational meet in Bend, Or- egon, May 8 -- 10. Arriving in Bend the day before the -meet, Coach Rod Jones and his team enjoyed beauti- ful weather, with the temperatue around 75 degrees. Many activities were available to utilize the summer- like weather, including pools, sau' gnas, and miniature golf and video games. When the next day arrived, however, it was with the surprise of snow, hail and wind. Being Orego- nians, we were used to running, throwing and jumping in the rain, but-snow was something else, re- membered Senior Suzy Messing. s Competing under snowy condi' tions was a new experience for the Marshall track team, but not the only one. Competing under the di- rection of new coaches was also a different experience. Jones, PE-I and Health teacher, although not new to Marshall or coaching track, had nev- er-before coached track at Marshall. l was eager about coaching -track and had high expectations for the season. There are a lot of kids at Marshall with talent, said Jones. ivan Lehman, brother of Charlie Lehman, Marshalls Athletic Direc- tor, commuted 'daily from his job at Centennial High Schooi as a PE teacher to guide Marshall's throw- ers. Steve Pickering, also a new teacher at Marshall, lent his direc- tion to sprinters. Among these sprinters was Marshalls Rose Festi- val Princess, Kristie Jones, who ran the short relay, the 200 meters, the quarter mile and the mile relay. Culminating the efforts of the three coaches, three track members went to state. Wilbert Antoine ran hurdles and high jumped while Char- lette Berube and Jenifer Freeman threw the javelin and discus.
