Above And Beyond The 1988 Armstrong Girls Tennis teams had an outstanding season, resulting from excellent perfor- mances from the varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen teams. The varsity concluded the season with 4 wins and 3 loses. Coach Tom Friedericks was a tremendous help in mak- ing the season successful. Krista Martens led the team, sharing the first singles spot thus giving the team a strong lead. Kris Rainey and co-captain Lara Shapansky were outstanding at first doubles position. The doubles team of Jenny Kluver and Kelly McEnany also contributed to the teams success by accomplishing an unde- feated season. Alternately filling doubles spots were Amy Radue and Alisa Gold- berg, Leslie Levine and Nancy Gallas, and the infamous twins, Jenny and Julie Ny- berg. The team ' s youngest was sophomore Ellie Covin who showed much promise for the upcoming seasons. The Junior Varsity team experienced another winning season due to the great coaching of Laurie Gan- drud. Throughout the season, the first sin- gles spot was held by Jenny Ryan, who showed deication and leadership. Senior Margaret Squier was a significant player for the team. With her strong determination she has played some of the longest matches in Armstrong history. Shelly Reeves and Jessica Jensen were the key players for the third singles spot. Holding doubles posi- tions were Yen Nystrom and Jenny Fran- cis. 1988 was the first year for Armstrong to have a freshmen team, who will be a hard act to follow. Led by Leigh Shapansky at first singles, the team experienced a great season, with great coaching from Andy Smith.All three teams experienced an ex- cellent season, while enjoying friendship, car washes, pizza parties, and a great ban- quet that ended the year on a happy note.
