I3 UQ Earned Not having a home advantage was a disadvantage for the girls, swimming and diving team. Having to share time between the West High and Central High pools made things even tougher for a first-year team. The small number of swimmers out this year was also a disadvantage to the team. Our swimmers had to swim in more races which made them get tired more easily, said Jennifer Elvert. Kris Naae showed much potential for North in the coming years as she placed 2nd in Conference and 4th in District in the 50 yard freestyle and 4th in Conference Respect and District in the 100 yard freestyle. Naae also was undefeated in dual meets in the 100 yard freestyle and qualified for the state meet in two events. According to Coach Larry Swanson, one of the greatest assets to the team was Captain Amy Taylor. She was a good leader and well respected by her teammates, said Swanson. Throughout the season, Taylor learned about respect for other teams, Even though we were a small team and didn't win a meet, every team in the conference respected us as a team and they let us know. We really felt welcome. mvwdrzg K ., Strong dedication to attain perfect form enables Kris Naae to execute butterfly. Photo: D. Smit.

This was true concerning both the boys' and girls' cross country teams. With only seven boys and five girls on each team, they still managed to give their opponents a run for their money. Dani Shelton felt her team's success was due to teamwork, At the beginning of the season I was worried about the number of people, but with hard work we consistently got better. Shelton, the sophomore girls' confer- ence champion, set a record with a time of 12:36, breaking the old one by 20 seconds. That was my best race, said Shelton. I was nervous before the race, but once I got there I wasn't worried, she added. Coach Dennis Moeller felt that his two sophomores, Shelton and Missy Wickersharn, would do nothing but improve in the next few years. The boys' Coach Clancy Simmons' main goal for the season was for each runner to not only improve, but to notice the improve- ment. The team accomplished this as each runner dropped their time by almost one and a half minutes over the course of the season. Even though we didn't have a good record we kept a positive attitude. I thought the whole team gave it their all, said Josh Miller. Warm-up exercises are essential to running, as Megan Duke follows through on this rule prior to her performance. Photo: D. Smit.
