Beginning means winning for the Junior Varsity teams The junior Varsity basketball teams not only gained valuable experience this year, but each had successful seasons as well. The Wildcats posted a 12-7 record and the Kittens had a 10-6 season. The young Wildcat Squad fought off a five-game losing streak against larger schools and placed second in the Fatima B- Team tournament to highlight their season. Mike Bunch was the team's high scorer and Mike Nolting was the most aggressive rebounder. The team was dominated by freshmen, and Coach Scott Con- ner said, lll was surprised we did as well as we did.

R Weather hampers practices not performances for Kittens Despite poor conditions and a lack of a good track to practice on, the Wildkittens managed to be cpmpetitive in every meet. iil thought we did well, consider- ing we spent most of our time practicing indoors. The poor weather hampered our jumps and times somewhat, but the medals we came home with showed the girls' hard work, said Coach Deb Kahler. Some individual records were set this year. Sue Scheulen became the holder of the new high jump record at five feet. A record was claimed by Stacey Light in the 800-meter run with a clocking of 2:34. Both set these records with only one year of competition in the event. The state track meet saw three Wildkittens among the par- ticipants. Mary Otto qualified in the shot and discus, Sue Scheulen in the 100 and 200-meter dashes and Stacey Light in the 800-meter run. Hltve found some new events for a few people and had some really fine performances in the relays and field events, said Coach Kahler. HTrack was a real challenge with the weather, but all the extra work paid off, said Mary Otto. Hearing the end of the mile, Stacey Light surges toward the finish.
