Successful Squad The 1984 Varsity Softball team ended the regular sea- son with an 11-4 district re- cord, for a second place fin- ish. The overall record was 11-8. Throughout the season, the team was led by the following players: Senior co-captain Manda Waroblak, who led the Lady Chiefs in runs scored with 26 and stolen bases with 22; Junior Kim Pearman had a team high .431 batting aver- age and 26 runs batted in (RBI’s); Junior Andrea Young collected the most hits (27) and had the second highest batting average (.409): and Sophomore Cindy Odum, who was selected the most valu- able player, was second in RBI’s with 22 and had a bat- ting average of .393. Seniors Manda Waroblak, Mary Norford, and Lois Kinch provided leadership for the successful young Monacan squad. With 6 juniors, 4 soph- omores, and 2 freshman on the 1984 team the Lady Chiefs are well positioned to make a run at the Central title in their next season of play. Softball 117

Teams Separate But Strong This year’s track team con- tinued to show. similar strengths under a different footmate. Rather than a uni- fied group, the team was seg- regated into a boy’s team, un- der Mont Linkenarger, and a girl’s team with Mrs. Rosalie Wallace’s supervision. Both teams managed to demon- Strate a newfound sprinting ability, as both boy’s and girl’s relay teams managed to break school records. In addition, hurdlers such as Mike Cham- (ORES ne RR ES ES Total Dominance.

Brian Cox enhanced the team’s sprinting and jump- ing ability and freshman John Metten broke the school’s age group pole vault record with a skying height. In the distances Jeff Slater was again a stan- dout, winning both the 1600m and 3200m in Regionals in his best races of the season. Jeff Ss ee eee Double Vision. Just as these Mona- can girls resemble each at the start- ing blocks, the members of the team have similar abilities, putting them in the forefront. was also part of the 3200m re- lay, the group which achieved this season’s highest honors. Ken Bark, Chris Ockler, Mi- chael Halle, and Slater placed second in numerous two-mile relays, including a heartbreak- er at Tennessee’s Volunteer Track Classic, where they broke their own school record by thirteen seconds with a time of 8:07. All four made it to Regionals in their individual events, while Halle and Slater advanced to States. Rounding out the men’s distance events was freshman Barry Maroney, who made it to state competi- tion in the 1600m with times consistently in the low 4:30’s. The girl’s team was at least equally successful. Beginning the season by winning the Monacan Relays, the girls zoomed through regular sea- son to be District regular sea- son champions. Although edged out in Districts and forced to take the number two spot (the boys were also sec- ond place district finishers), the girls took two relays and three other individuals (Cabel Anderson, Heather Shiner, Kelly McClain) to Regionals, one of largest Regional teams ever. The relay teams also had the distinction of placing at Vol Classic: the 4x400m team got third while the 4x200m team grabbed fourth. With few seniors leaving, the future is bright for the rising stars of Monacan track. Boys Track. FRONT: Chris Bartlet, Barry Maroney, Brian Cox, Eric Mar- witz, John Metten.
