The Moreau Mariner Junior Varsity Softball Team. coached by Hank Lorta, is an enthusiastic group of girls with big dreams and high expectations. The team start- ed practice in mid-February despite the terrible '86 rain- storms, and opened play later that same month. Playing at Patrick Gomer Field in Hayward, the team learned that softball is a very grueling sport that takes many hours of practice after school and on weekends. This does not dampen the team's spirit, however, as they are proud to represent Moreau in this way. lj. Jenny Norton demonstrates a very strange way to catch a ball in her glove. IJ. Julie Thiede thinks I got itl while her team- mates look on in support. SJ. The Junior Var- sity Team can be serious one minute. and completely nutty the next.

That lovely smell of chlorine. The enjoyment of dry- ing yourself off with a wet towel. That final IOO yard dash to the showers. This year's varsity swim team had another opportunity to go up to Cal State for what would eventually become the hardest practice in histo- ry. All of this work would soon be rewarded by a rough game of water polo or a chance at going to the North Coast Sections. The I986 Varsity Swim Team is probably the best teamk within the four years that Moreau has had a swimming program. Among some of the talent.
