Not only did these dedicated Vikings run several miles a day and work long hours; they were also responsible for carrying on the trodition of success every time they took to the course. It was a heavy load but the harriers managed as they consistantly placed well at their area invitationols, includ- ing the conference and district meets. I was really pleased with our season. The seniors were great, the underclassmen showed a lot of potential, and as a team we were very successful. said Coach Zavala. Sophomore Dove Keil paved the way for the Viking boys, placing ninth at state individually which helped place Northwest eighth as a team in the boys ' division. For the gals, sophomore Janet Meyer and fresh- man Joannie Krzycki were the leading runners on the team. With nineteen members on the team the backbone of it lies in the leadership and inspiration of the seniors, Roger Knight, Roy Peterson, Lynn Wiegert, Mike Eberhardt, end Luey Shultz stepped into their senior roles as naturally as they stepped into their Nikes.

Cold spell slows down Vikings When you ' re hot you ' re hot and when you ' re not you ' re not, this seemed to be the predominant theme in this year ' s saga of the Northwest Viking volleyball team. Plagued by a lot of close defeats and many disappointments, the team also on a given night played with the best of teams and won. It was a cold start for the Lady Vikes with a 1-5 record after their first six games. Then things began to heat up. Coach Glenda Tucker took her struggling Vikings to the Holdrege tournament. The tournament had never been won by Northwest and this year ' s hopes seemed dim as well. But contrary to popular predic- tions Northwest managed to knock off two rated teams and a team they had previously lost to, taking the first place honors. Northwest then went on to win six of their lost eight regular season games, in districts Northwest won their first round of action, defeating Super- ior. But the Vikings were stopped cold when they lost to eventual Class B State runner-up, Central Catholic, in the second round.
