The Virginia tennis team had a very successful year with an overall season record of 12-2. Under the coaching of Dan Sundberg, Virginia won the I R C. tennis title with Doug Coombe winning the singles championship and the doubles team of Mark Padgett and Tom Scipioni capturing the doubles title. The team went on to win the District 27 championship before losing to Hibbing in the finals of Region 7. (Due to a mix-up last spring, there is no team picture available for the book.) Tennis...

We goofed. Time and sports wait for no man, espe- cially not for photographers. The assignments were posted, the film, cameras, and teams were there, but. . .? We take our yearbook seriously and are ashamed of this page. Our deepest apologies. The Staff Young Golf Team Gains Valuable Experience The Virginia golf team had a fairly successful sea- son with Richie Peterson taking the individual championship at the Grand Rapids invitational. The golf team itself placed around the middle in most conference and district events. For a very young team much progress was made over the sea- son. The outlook for the team looks bright, as the majority of the team will return in 1974. Members of the varsity squad were: Dave Ewens, Mark Leese, Mark Viezbicke, Richie Peterson, Dave Vack, John Geiselman, Brian Kohlhase, and Mark Steinbauer. Baseball Teams Has Even 6-6 Season Blessed by the return of six lettermen and backed up by a thoroughly experienced group of players. Coach Gary Kokal led his boys through a season of six wins and six losses. Then to top it off they got a shot at districts, winning their first game over Cherry, but losing a heart breaker to Gilbert. Coach Kokal hopes that his up coming team will be as spirit- ed as last years. 13

Lack Of Depth Hurts Boys Track 1 2 3 1. Back row, 1. to r.: D. Boril, J. Marcella, R Arpi, D. Collie, R. Hafdahl, J. Zebro, R. Hohkanen, Coach F. Swenson; Front row, 1. to r.: Coach R. Pastika, P. Anderson, G. Branville, L. Branville, S. Badanjak, D. Hendrickson, W Hafdahl, B. Geiselman, M. Babiracki. 2. D. Hendrickson receives the baton from S. Badanjak for the anchor leg of race. 3. J. Marcella displays good long jump form. Although depth and experience were lacking in the field and weight events, the sprinting Blue Devils had another successful season with a number of runners capturing state berths. Senior Lee Branville sprinted to a first in Region competition, and second place in the state meet in the 880 run. Dan Hendrickson won first place in Region 7 competition and took sixth in the state meet. The mile relay team finished first in region, but were unable to put it together at the state contest. With many returning runners, increased experience, in field events, and under the coaching of F. Swenson and R. Pastika, the 1975 season should be a promising one for the Blue Devils. is
