Sophomore Sharol Short competed as number one singles, while senior Peggy O,Connor was number two. The number one doubles team consisted of sophomore Barb Harris and ju- nior Kathleen Kiernan. Senior The- resa Ayre and freshman Diane Loehr participated in the number two doubles matches. Highlighting the season was a third place finish in the CKL. Shar- on Short placed second in the num- ber one singles by defeating Junc- tion City, Manhattan, and McPher- son opponents. Peggy O,Connor also placed second in the CKL in the number two doubles. The girls, tennis future looks bright as four letterwomen and a solid B team re- turn after gaining much experience for Cougar tennis. ii l' ..rr i trr J ti ilgilliilt i t t . 1 T - .'.. as is -agg, 'isSlH2g . g s 'W ... . . ga X rrsr . . j . . 5 S Y Q . .iii i '... , . 1 Q ' 4 X 3 is as A .Q -. -- - 2 - . mg , . -,E 'MWXWWT FG Q Q at 5 l 5'- .:. i

Gymnasts capture second at State Fine talent and senior leadership were the contributing factors that helped comprise a rewarding gym- nastics season. Mark Walter estab- lished numerous records as he in- stilled the winning spirit on which the gymnasts capitalized. Walter broke records in all but two of the individual competition events, scor- ing the highest number of points ever by a Cougar gymnast in one season. Walter broke the all- around, floor exercise, long horse vault, parallel bars, and tied the pommel horse record with junior Steve Lull. Walter, however, was not the only team scorer, as seniors Pat O'Con- nor, Chris Hay, and Jerry Broils, along with juniors Steve Lull and Gary Naden provided many points throughout the season. The Cougars captured four team titles including an impressive win in the Wichita East Invitational. Suc- cessful also at Regionals, the gym- nasts easily won first place, gaining momentum for the State meet. Behind Walter,s State champion- ships in the all-around and parallel bars competition, the Cougar gym- nasts were able to capture a second place State finish. Along with Wal- ter, Pat O'Connor earned first in the still rings and Steve Lull captured third on the pommel horse competi- tion, rounding out the State medal winners. Team depth proved essen- tial as Jerry Broils placed fourth in the high bar, sixth in the floor exer- cise, and Chris Hay placed sixth on the parallel bars.
