Whether as athletes or spectators, we were all involved in the Park Center sports program. At every meet, match, and game. Park Center students were there to support their team, cheering them on when they were behind so they wouldn't get discouraged. The crowds sat in rain, snow, freezing temperatures, and hot gymnasiums, with brave smiles on their faces. Then there were the athletes who practiced daily, even when they didn’t want to. They underwent grueling routines of exercise and workouts, trying to be the best at whatever they were doing. Why all of this suffering and self-torture? For one reason really. It was fun. Everyone loved Friday night football games, cheered on the basketball team, and wouldn't miss a hockey game. Excitement hung in the air as everyone waited for the gun, whistle, or buzzer that started and stopped the action of the players. How primitive those actions appeared, whether it was running a ball over a line, or bouncing one off of a piece of wood laced with string. But games were a lot more than that. They brought the school's populace together to have a lot of fun and meet with friends. Our school’s athletic program was, and always will be, a memorable part of our high school years. —Tatia Woldt
