The girls ' swimming and diving team enjoyed a great season. Their first four meets were tough and they lost by small amounts. But the girls didn ' t give up, thanks to the spirit shown by captains Erin O ' Brien and Laurie Wile, and they managed to win their last four meets to give them a 4-4 record. The team finished eighth in one of the toughest conferences in the state. Although every swim- mer put forth her best effort, nobody made it to state competition. Coaches Tim Buckley and Pat Fair took the team to the Eau Claire Invitational swim meet, where the team placed nicely. Good luck next year!!

Above And Beyond State in ' 88. That was the number one priority for the Girls Soccer team. Their dream came true when they edged Cooper (1-0) in a shoot out for the region championship. Next they advanced to the state soccer tournament. Captain Sue Flolid says, Although the state tournament will be something that I will never forget, I think there ' s more to it then just that. She continues saying, I think it ' s the closeness we all share that proved to be the key factor. These team members have all played together for years, sharing the big wins along with the tough losses. In alot of ways this team grew up together. The ' 88 Girls Soccer team will have forgotten the scores of the games when they look back on their soccer years but they will never forget the fun times they have all shared together for so many years. Congratulations For Making State!! Jenny Schroeder looks on as her teammates try their best to win.
