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.

Ouickness Sparks Excellence Composed of only three seniors on the nine-member varsity roster, the girls went on to ac- complish many surprising feats as they turned their weaknesses into assets. With the tallest player reaching only five feet eight inches, Captain Jill Lublin contradicted, Because we were shorter we were more coordinated and quicker. Also the girls that we had were all very good athIetes. For the majority of their season, their quickness and abilities paid off as the team went on to beat Highline for the first time ever, with a score of 41-38. Other highlights were the after-the-game pizza parties. They gave the girls a chance to relax while the stress and intensity of the game wore away. The JV team had their share of setbacks including lack of experience. However their strong defense helped them to achieve a balance season of 9-9. Sophomore Melanie Goff noted, Our excellent coaching by Mr. Doug Jansen and team unity helped us to really progress and meet our goals. C. Jacobs :Q J 1 IQ. -7 pkg I g dl W , ' ! i' - Ill C. .
