ITS A RACKET Winning was not in the cards for the 1986 tennis season, but many indi- viduals succeeded in matches and per- fected their own games. Mazama came out on top of only two oppo- nents Ashland and Grants Pass, but the spirit and effort of the entire team never failed. Possibly the most exciting match of the season was against Medford in Medford. Cheryl Byrum and Leah Worrell both won in singles, and the teams of Byrum, Annette Fleming and Twyla Morris. Laurie Kifer dominated their opponents in the doubles play. The score was 4-4 with one match left, however, Medford flourished and took the match 5-4. Taking in awards for their efforts this year were, Kathy Rommerdahl, Most valuable; Cheryl Byrum, most inspirational; and sharing the most improved award was Peggy Noble and Laurie Kifer. Although the team wasn't victori- ous this season, twelve to fourteen players are expected to return for ac- tion next year. Byrum and teammate Tammy Olson will see their fourth year while Fleming, Rommerdahl, Stemple, and Morris will each play for the third year. With this many return- ing members, including seven who will be on their second year, the squad should be quite strong for the 1987 season. Our team is very young and next year we will be really good - Cheryl Byrum. MOST VALUABLE Name; Kathy Rommer- dahl Grade: Junior Kathy has played tennis for two years.

GETTING ON THE RIGHT TRACK The 1986 season of Mazama Track has shown to he a most successful year. The wins were few, but the performances of both the individuals and the entire team were exceptional. There was a considerable turnout this season, with most participants being younger. This means that these ath- letes have one to three years left in which to improve in their event. Even with youn- ger members, Mazama was indeed a force to reckon with. Stated Mr. Larry Wagner, head coach, For the youngness of the team they have competed well. Though injuries and illness claimed a few, Mazama track remained strong. At the end of the season, there were 63 mem- bers still competing. Perhaps a fitting ex- ample of the teams' strength is the two consecutive wins at the seasons end, over Eagle Point and Grants Pass, by the boys Varsity team. The girls didn't pull off any wins, but participants in all areas gave their best effort. Pat Sandercock most definitely de- served the Most Valuable” honor that was bestowed on him. as did Sheila Ivins. Sandercock's leadership, dedication, and astounding speed put him in a class with the best in the state. Ivins competed con- sistently and enthusiastically throughout the season. At the district meet, powerful perfor- mances were given by all. Earning trips to State were the 400 meter relay team of Rob Cox, Chris Hodge, Manny Garcia, and Sandercock; and the 1600 meter relay team of Garcia, Gary Welch, Rich McNeilly, and Sandercock. Individually, Sandercock gained berth to State for the 200 and 400 meters. W -u. -- w i V. A. ;• V ' • BOYS’ VARSITY TRACK GIRLS' VARSITY TRACK Boys Track: FRONT ROW Steve Cox. Greg George.
