The 1 980 Boys Track team will be remembered as the Smoke Squad. This was the nickname given the team by first year coaches Joseph Hardman and Charles Law- rence. The coaches felt seniors Savino Rivera, Scott Fields, Andre Fincher, Carlos White, and George Stewart did a fine job in leading the team as captains. The team improved from last year ' s record by winning 6 and losing 3. The team did a fine job in the Goshen and Niles Relays. They captured third place in both relays. Their hard work and hours of practice were paid off as they won the Valpo Relays. Coach Hardman felt the team really worked hard during the winter months and this helped the team in the relays. He also feels the new all-weather track will help improve the team next year.

Q The 1979-80 Girls ' Track CD Team lacked the leadership of CD the seniors, which were in the CL minority this year. But the team gained a lot of the needed talent from the incom- O) ing sophomores. c The girls ' team lost more than they usually did this year, c for Coach Lindi Hepworth had sz her final year. We shall all miss Hep, but we ' re also looking forward to the coaching of Mr. J J. Johnson. The girls are hopeful for the coming track season; new goals will be made and achieved. And as always, the spirit of sportsmanship will lin- ger on in the L. H. S. tradition.

Q. 03 DQ The 1979-80 girls ' Softball team finished the season with a very fine, but somewhat disappointing, 10-3 record. The major disappointment was the loss to Adams in the semi- final round of the city tournament. The Lion ' s strong suit was hitting, as the team averaged 16 runs per game and an outstanding .415. Sue Minor led the team with a .591 aver- age, 5 doubles, 2 triples, 3 home- runs, and 21 RBIs. Lisa Wawrziniak finished 2nd in RBIs with 19. Cathy Davis and Toni Swiatowy finished the season with a .486 and .476 average, respectively. Josie Maternowsl i was the lead- ing pitcher, with a 9-2 record. Vicki Lemon finished 1 -1 . Connie Adamo was the leading fielder for the LIONS, with Cathy Davis finishing with a very close 2nd. The 1980-81 outlook appears to be very bright, with 1 1 lettermen returning. Graduating seniors wil be greatly missed. The team was comprised of 1 7 members: 3 soph- omores, 1 juniors, and 3 seniors. ABOVE: When LaSalle is up, great things start to happen. BOT.
