Early Conditioning Attributed to Successful Season The experienced fourteen member girls' gymnastics team started their season with one ultimate goal in mind: to win state. But succeeding in this was going to take a lot of hard work and practice. The team, consisting of ten juniors and four sophomores, began their training long before the season started. ln early October almost all the the members began a strenuous two day a week workout composed of running and lifting weights. This early conditioning really helped us get in shape for the season. We attribute many of our wins over the tougher teams because of it, explained Junior Annette Tyson. These workouts also contributed to the second place North Puget Sound League victory as opposed to last year's second to last place defeat. Beside early training, the team felt their closeness and spirit aided in their top billing. Our close friendships enabled us to laugh at each other's mistakes, but then come back and do it right the second time, commented Launi Nutter. Also, The fact that the girls were always im- proving themselves on new moves which in turn lifted them up to higher positions on the team donated to the team's success, expressed team coach Dick Bankhead.
