J lastics Gymnastics team rebuilds Despite the problems of broken equipment and a young squad, Coach Michelle Charnlga and Manager Mike Valentine managed to pull everything together and accomplish many goals. Patti Dunnabeck, the team ' s only senior, competed on the beam and floor exercise along with junior Theresa Gatti, who also par- ticipated on bars. Sophomore Angle Miller competed on beam and vault. Another sophomore, Sherri Lane, competed on vault and bars. Junior Liz Hartman participated on beam and bars. The team had five all-arounders; juniors Tonia Hickman and Donna Dunnabeck, sophomore Shelly Stelnhebel, and freshmen Yvonne Beebe and Wendy Beach. These people carried the weight of the team, but the success of the team was due to everyone working together. Captain Tonia Hickman and Wendy Beach also qualified for th e Regional Meet in Jackson.
