'Bogeyman' haunts Hampered by bad weather and inexperience, the Cougar golf team performed in the middle during the '78 season. The team, under the direction of Dean Kindlesparger, played about average golf in every tournament. The weather did not help the young golfers. Playing against the elements as well as opponents be- came very difficult. The linksters faced strong winds at Arkansas City and Newton. However, they still finished in the midst of the competi- tion. Youth was another problem, but inexperience can be overcome. Many hours were spent perfecting swings and lowering scores. The young golf team practice began to pay dividends late in the season as sophomores Curtis Carpenter and Jay Johnson earned medalist honors in the Salina Invi- tational and the CKL meet, respec- tively. One highlight of the season was the Salina Invitational. The Invita- tional was the only meet in which the golfers finished above average. They finished eighth out of twenty teams. The team finished third in the CKL league and fifth at the Re- gional tourney. Strong league potential becomes a reality with four lettermen return- ing. All have experienced varsity competition and they will be around for the next two years. .:?. is A-, , draw Ja' 5

Young tracksters supply team depth Relying on underclassmen to car- ry the girls track team during the season resulted in a mediocre meet record. Never placing above third in any meet was a disappointment, but the outlook for the future is promising. Individual talent highlighted the season as four school records were set. Junior Shelly Duran set the 110-yard low hurdle record at 14.95 seconds and the shot put record with a heave of 39-9374. Duran's low hurdle record was also a CKL re- cord. The discus record was broken by senior Yolanda Gay who threw the discus 106-5. Sophomore Amy Morton erased the two-mile record with a time of 13:03. Duran and junior Betsv Sloan were the only qualifiers for the State meets and the KU Relays. At the State Indoor, Duran placed fourth in the long jump and fifth in the 60-yard low hurdles. The KU Relays proved to be surprising. Duran took third in the long jump and fifth in the hurdles. The sur- prise was provided by Sloan who won the 440-yard dash just one hun- dredth of a second ahead of the sec- ond place finisher. Both girls also competed in the State Outdoor meet. Duran finished sixth in the hurdles, while Sloan took fourth in the 440. 5 ffm .r 41
