A MEETing with s ccess Six o'clock in the morning, sleepy eyes, tired limbs, striv- ing to finish that last grueling lap a Lamar swimmer finally comes out of the pool. Hard work and long hours were familiar to all the swim- mers. We were doing 8,000 yards a day in the morning, but it only benefitted us, said Junior Jason King. Most swimmers didn't seem to mind the training as much when their efforts started paying off. The boys had an undefeated season and also won their dual meet against Plano. The meet was very exciting for all the swim- mers. The atmosphere was very tense as the points came down to the last relay, said Senior Katy Fidler. The team also had a great showing at the district cham- pionship at Trinity. Katy along with Senior Kyle DeBlonk, served as the captains of the 1987-88 team. They both were strong assets to the team as well as Senior Lance Ford, Juniors Jason N. J.. W ff . ., . 1, .- l-.f s M, lr Mafia . -, .

You really get to know everyone on the team because we spend so much time to- gether. Weire friends for life, said Kyle. The team was like a big family and pulled to- gether under the leadership of Coaches Jon Ivonen, Cindy Lane and Tracy Kaulman. Julie Rowell ,ansr-a'W '-r

LHS makes a racket The tennis team did fairly well this year in both their fall and spring seasons. However, strength lay mainly in a few individual players rather than the whole team. HNot much support was given to the tennis team, said Senior Kim Brown. Since the competition was Stopping for a picture, Senior Kim Brown cheerfully heads for ten- nis practice during seventh period. Photo by Kim Higdon. spread out over two seasons, tennis was usually overlooked as students focused on foot- ball or soccer events. With more members on the team this year practices be- came more intense. We worked very hard in practice and individually, said Senior Amy McGarrahan. Practice payed off for play- ers such as Amy and Senior Melanie Nolan, the two top girl players. Others, such as Seniors 'Billy Quinn and Mark Jester were strong play- ers. Tennis was not all serious- ness, though. The players be- came good friends and made playing more fun. Because tennis is more of an individ- ual sport, making friends was important. Coach Tony Ramirez was the coach for the 1987-88 team. He taught us a lot and was a good friend as well,', said Senior Bill Grubbs. Even though the team did not do as well as they hoped, all the players did their best. Julie Rowell 5- x 1 . ,-1 .
