Sonya Roberts, senior, and Robin Westbrook, ju- nior, won medals at the State track meet in Austin May 16. For the fourth year in a row, Sonya advanced to Regionals and then to State. She placed first in the Long Jump, Triple Jump, and the 100 yard dash at the District meet in Yoakum. It was only her second year to at- tempt the Triple Jump. It was a shock and a dream come true when I realized that I would be able to advance to State in the Triple Jump, com- mented Sonya. In the Long Jump, at the State competition, she placed third and in the Triple Jump fourth. Four years of athletic achieve- ment won her a track scholarship to Southwest Texas State University. Robin placed first and third in discus and shot in the District meet. This en- abled her to advance to Regionals in discus and qualify for alternate in shot. Before the Regional meet Robin commented I hope that my hard work paid off but anything can happen on any given day. Robin has been working on discus and shot for all of her high school years. She placed second at the Regional meet and moved on to State. At State com- petition she placed third in discus. The track team includes: back row Co ach Connie Herring , Den- ise Evans, Meredith Townley, Tammy Long, Robin Westbrook, Tammy Westbrook, JenNae An- derson, Molly Guerrero and Lisa Van Heuverswyn. Front row Carol Lewis , Sonya Roberts . M g- lissa LongTWanda Chase and Jill Benbow. Sonya Roberts, senior, practices every day during her fourth peri- od athletics class and then again after school on her main event, the triple jump. She advanced to State competition with a jump of 19 ' 2 . This was her best jump ever, I jumped a d ' lVi my freshman year and it has taken me quite a while to get only a half of an inch. 52 SPORTS

Fore!!! Alexander Qualifies For State; Golf Teams Enjoy Success Clay Pivoda carefully studies the green for his putt. It was an up and down year for the boys and girls golf teams. We started out as usual shooting high scores, but we brought our scores down low enough to place second in district, behind Gon- zales, Junior Kyle Dicke said. Trey Alexander qualified for state as medalist by shooting 73-73 at regionals. The boys scored 334 and 324 at Kingsville in the regional tournament where they placed fourth behind Gon- zales, Devine, and Lake Travis. Trey, Scott Jones, Bodie Miller, Kyle Dicke, and Clay Pivoda made up the team. The girls ' team did not go on to re- gionals as they did last year, but We still had a pretty good year, Toni Jones said. It was an inter- esting year with only one return- ing player, Toni, and three new- comers. We wanted to have a good year, but our main goal was to have fun and enjoy it, which we did, Toni laughed. Both teams were coached by Troy Cakes who led the boys ' team to regionals for the seventh year in a row. Toni Jones prepares to tee off at Luling ' s golf course where the team practiced. mm am J 54 SPORTS Team members are Seniors Lora Schulte and Melissa Long, Freshman Tabby Oakes, and Junior Toni Jones.
