' « ' ■»■. ' « t c mil Rebuilding Season for Mustang Softball The 1985 Varsity Softball team coached by Sue Heinzman had a rebuilding yet strong season. High- scoring wins against Farmington Harrison and Novi helped boost the Mustangs ' spirit. Part of the team ' s strength came from seniors Kim Richcreek (honorable mention All-Division, outfield), Lori Housman (All- Division, outfield), and Vicki Robbins. However, with on- ly three players lost to graduations, the ' 86 season looks even brighter. To help improve their record, the Mustangs will count on experienced players for leadership and steady play. Returning Mustangs Chris McGowan (All-Division cat- cher) and Jackie Matteucci (All-Division infield) should help stabilize the hitters as well as Michele Siemasz and Julie Kaestner who received All-Division honorable mentions. Returning sophomore Nancy Dutkiewicz should also aid the team. With teamwork, good condi- tioning, and a positive attitude, the Mustang hitters with new coach Bob Gurlach ought to improve their season record with no trouble at all. ■ VARSITY SOFTBALL NHS 0pp. 28 South Lyon 21 4 South Lyon 6 5 Hartland 10 4 Hartland 5 7 Churchill 4 13 Churchill 14 6 Farmington Harrison 2 8 Stevenson 9 7 Saiem 8 12 Novi 2 7 Brighton 8 12 Farmington Harrison 2 7 Walled Lake Central 8 4 Walled Lake Western 8 1 Walled Lake western 11 12 Canton 13 2 Canton 10 14 Bentley 24 5 Farmington 12 15 12 7 10 Lisa Crawford hurls the ball toward home plate.

women ' s track Record breaking year for lady tracksters It was a year of broken records for the Women ' s Track Team in 1985. The 2-mile relay, 1-mile relay, 880-relay, 110 high hurdles, 100 yard dash, and the high jump were all long time records that were broken. 1985 ' s Most Valuable Athlete and Captain was Senior Cindy Panowicz who has gone on to Kansas University to continue her track career. The other Senior Captain was middle distance runner Jennifer Trausch. Although the loss of Panowicz will hinder the team, many other valuable runners are returning in 1986. 880 Relay Susie Rahimi Karen Stinson Christy Lenahan Cindy Panowicz Erin Holmberg sprints the 220 at the league meet.

I ■ ■ ■ i mmmm m baseball ' 85 season spent rebuilding team 1985 was a rebuilding year for Northville Baseball with only one starter and four varsity players returning from the ' 84 team. Even though the ' 85 squad lacked varsity experience, they certainly represented themselves and their school in an outstanding manner. The team was competitive throughout the season, ending the season second in the division behind Plymouth Canton with a division record of five wins and three losses. Northville ' s over-all record was 10-10. The 1986 season should be another enjoyable year for Northville fans with several varsity players returning along with some very capable players from a junior varsity team that compiled an eight win twelve loss record in 1985.
