ey S The boys’ golf team and the girls’ tennis team both made appearances at the WIAA state tournaments. The linksters placed third at state, with the best individual score coming from Kevin Roe who placed 6th. In tennis, the duo of Shelly Weitz and Sherry Taylor lost in the second round of the tourney to Madison Lafollete- a disappointment after their 7th place state finish last year. The golf team earned a state berth after placing second in the sectional meet. Coach Nadeau felt that the state tournament was an attainable goal for his team at the start of the season. He said, “Most people won't remember that we beat Appleton West and Oshkosh North during the season, but they will remember our presence at state.’ At state, Appleton West and Oshkosh North placed 1st and 2nd respectively. The golfers placed 4th in the conference. Senior varsity member John Meyer stated, “It was a good season be- 4. Concentrating on his shot, John Meyer tees off. 2.

Shelly Weitz follows through after a forehand. cause we went to state, even though we took third. Our conference play was disappointing because we were not very consistent. Sometimes only one person would shoot a good round.” The girls’ tennis team faced tough conference play as they finished 4-10. Overall they were 6-10. Coach Mark Smits remarked, “In four different conference meets the scores were 4-5, which means those meets could have gone either way. The team didn’t have as much exper- ience as other teams in the conference.’’ Senior Shelly Weitz was selected to the all-conference team. Sherry Taylor received honorable mention. The girls’ golf team set two goals at the beginning of the season. One was as a team to break a total of 200, and the other was that the golfers from last year improve their average for nine holes by five strokes. Coach Potterton said, ‘Everybody reached her goal, and as a team, we did, too. Sophomore Peggy Mand was voted unanimously to the FVA all-conference team, the only non-senior chosen. She said, ‘We all did well, considering the lack of experience on the team.” She felt the tournaments in the summer helped her because she was playing in a competitive atmosphere with pressure similar to that of the season.
