F i as 3 Q X3 1' s 33 Beyond The State Of Success Beginning their first practice at the newly completed Kentwood High School, the Judo team prepared for another successful season, and hopefully a State and National title. The team's practices were switched to Kentwood because of more educated coaches and better facilities. Also, students from both Kentwood and Kentridge joined the squad, completing the approximately forty member team. Having to drive to and from Kentwood everyday made turnout a lot tougher, stated Senior Captain Fred Maicco. With the assistance of experienced coaches George Uchida and Doug Graham, plus talented captains Fred Maicco and Bob Battles, the team felt they could reach such a high honor as a National title. lt was one of the strongest years we've ever had. We had a lot of strength and depth plus a high quality and competitive team, expressed Captain Bob Battles. L.Flx J.Blsh1. , G iq Q Qi .

Plunging Into a New Record Compiling the best dual and league meet records, as well as rewriting almost all the individual school records, the boy's swim team valiantly plunged their way to an incredible 8-1 season. Dedicated to meeting after school weekdays, in addition to Tuesday and Thursday's before school, the twenty-two members strived to improve the individual skills they unitilized for meets. They also acquired experience in athletic competition while bettering their self-discipline, en- durance, and overall physique. The swim team competed against fifteen other local schools, advancing to the North Puget Sound League Dual Meet. Medley and free-style relays, as well as breast, back, fly and other medley and free-style races, were only a few of the competitions excelled in. Revealed swim coach Les Kendig, The unique thing about the team was that it's the best one the school's ever put in the water. Ten of the twenty-two members were freshmen, the team only consisting of three seniors. Next year's team will be even stronger! H. Braunschweig S. Smith 2 1.

lf Proposed Tradition ls ln The Ball Park An all new coaching staff launched the Girl's Softball team into a successful season. The new coaches were Terry Parker, and Assistant Coach Tom D'Annunzio. Their goal as they went into the season, was to build a program, and enjoy a magnitude of success that the players, coaches and Kentridge deserves , commented Coach Parker. The thirty players were treated as a squad, as opposed to separate Varsity and JV teams. The breakdown was between infielders and outfielders, and the squad practiced every weekday from three to five P.M. Those who had been chosen to play on the Varsity team had an additional two week spring training by practicing every morning at six o'clock as well. The highlight of their season was a trip to Whidbey Island where the girls played Oak Harbor High School in a non-league game. According to Mr. Parker, this sort of non-league competition is to become an annual tradition. L. Call J.Bush J.Bush2. 1. After fielding a ground ball, Senior Katie Hasz checks the play. 2.
