Four girls run their way to state W The excitement and the thrills of victory can sometimes be damp- ened by the agony of defeat. Four girls learned this. First they placed second in the district track meet on May 17. Advancing then to state competition in Jefferson City on May 24, none placed in their events. The four track members were Tami Holliday, Laurie Brandt, Chris- ty Ackmann and Lori Nilges. These four girls competed as a team in the 3200m relay, and Lori Nilges also competed in the triple jump and the 800m run. I think we were all very proud just to have won the honor of going to state, said Christy Ackmann, junior. Everything was a lot different at state. It was more formal than any other track meet I had been to, said Lori Nilges, junior. We were young, but I think we needed the experience. So now we know what to look forward to next year, if we get to go again, said We had't even thought of the possibility of go- ing to state, said Tami Holliday. Tami. lt was a lot of hard work, but I am glad I got to go, said Christy. We ran better at districts than we did at state. I think we were all so nervous that we just didn't do the best we could have, said Tami Holliday, sophomore. The competition at state was very strong, everybody there was really good, said Lori. The young track team had only one senior. I think we did really well with what we had. Better than I had anticipated, said Coach Deb- bie Kahler. The track team did well but was inconsistent during the year. We had our ups and downs. At one track meet we would run well and then we were slower at the next, said Coach Kahler. I think that we had a lot of good team spirit. Other team members were always cheering us on no mat- ter if we were winning or losing, said Laurie Brandt, freshman. tits: Qi Lori Nigles take a practice lap. uts heat on her legs Susan Keener.
