Pre-season began sometime in Au- gust with hill workouts, speed work- outs, and long distance runs. Weather was very hot, in the 80’s and 90 s. Coach Merlin Reynolds was being a slave driv- er. But he’ had a purpose for putting us through these hard, pre-season wor- kouts. Our workouts consisted of the use of the bike path, beginning at Mazama and ending at OIT, and once you ar- rived at OIT you spent more time work- ing out on a hill course, before you would return to Mazama. The veteran runners were completing about 45 miles a week while the newcomers were work- ing out at about 25 miles a week. By the end of pre-season training all of us were in shape and ready to start the season, just for a vacation. The season was a lot of fun, and when all was said an done, the MHS team came in fourth in the conference, this was a great accomplishment, and we de- cided all the hard work had paid off.

JV VOLLEYBALL TEAM Dana Murray Cindy Spears Kim Miller Karin Linderborg Larry Hunt, Coach Sonja Siems Sabrina Petersen Karen Hedin Kerri Pratt Julie Melgares Julie Voight Joni Corwin Shelia Froehlich Amy Primm Bev Gamble Although we did not win many matches, the girls on the JV team had a lot of fun. We did win several games, but seemed to have a difficult time winning the game that would give us the match and the victory in the win column. Many of us will always recall the trips we made to the other schools and the friend- ships we have made, as we look back on the JV Volleyball season. Some of us will return next year, and hope to put more wins in the win column for both the JV’s and the Varsi- ty. Karen Hedin, Captain Pictured on this page we see the action which took place in many varsity games, and JV games alike. Above we see Karen Hedin setting up while Julie Melgares looks on.
