Sophomore Jennifer Achenbach spikes the ball for a great return. Moment of Joy Worth the Hurts I think I ' ll try out for the team. How hard can it be? Well, I ' ll tell you! Defeat, practice, pain and joy; they go along with being on the team. Diets, long hours in the weight room, and preparing for the big night when I get to be one of the start- ers or be the first on the beam. The coach will yell at me, but he ' ll tell me that I ' m improving. He ' ll tell me to work on my backhand or practice that tumble until he thinks it ' s right. Then there ' s always coping with vic- tory and defeat. There is congratulating the teammate that made the winning touchdown when I didn ' t get to play. Why can ' t you keep up your grades? ask my parents. Why can ' t you go out with me tonight? ' ' asks my boyfriend or girlfriend. I ' m trying the best that I can, and I will go on and win all of the battles that come my way, I say. If I can cope with all of the ups and downs of being an athlete, then I am the best I can be. Freshman Susan Webb looks exhausted after run- ning a hard race. Jim Roeger, Alan Sickles, Jim Winget, Bobby Compton, and Greg Richard all were injured dur- ing football.

Track Camp Pays Off for Members Serious conditioning for the upcom- ing cross country season started in Au- gust at Pokagon. For a week, all the team did was eat, sleep, and run. Camp was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it! stated Tom Hattery, one of the few seniors on the team. The team ' s hard work at camp paid off. The varsity ended their season with a respectful record of 6-4 and the re- serves with an exceptional 9-1. Early in the season, the team placed 6th in the Northrop Invitational. The sophomore team placed first in the llliana meet. The team placed 4th in sectionals and therefore qualified for the regional meet, in which they placed 8th. I was pleased with the team, being so young, commented coach Ken Mill- er, They worked hard at it. Co-captains Jack Stucky and Tom dinger led the ream to a season of which they can be proud.
