7faee 7iie The field events were not observed as much as the races, but when it came down to it, the last field event might have decided the winner or loser of the meet! It may seem as though people who participated in field events did nothing out on the field except work on their tans as sophomore Natalie Kramer did, but actually there was a lot of work that went into preparing to jump 17 feet in the long jump, throw between 35 and 40 feet over at the shot put, ring, or jump 6 feet over the bar into the pit. The high jumpers had to arch their backs and work on their legs. Long and triple jumpers found their steps and shot putters warmed up by doing 20 pops . This was all done to get ready for three chances to throw the farthest or jump the highest. First year long and high jumper senior Reggie Wilson brought in many of the varsity boys ' points. Sophomore Tasha Grayson and freshman Judy Friebe proved to be on top in the high jump competition. Returning long and triple jumpers junior Landry Zimmerman and senior Christy Friebe continued the tradition by bringing in major points to give field events the recognition they deserved. A vote was taken to purchase a new pole vaulting pit because the old one was water damaged. This meant that we had five field events again and no longer had to give up nine points for not having a pit. There were only two returning shot putters, junior Mikel Husband and sophomore Amy Sweatt, but the unit did very well considering that the most of the boys and girls were new and inexperienced! After stretching out. the shot putters were sent to the pit, an area about 75 feet away from everyone else on the team. Junior Mikel Husband said, it is like we are in our own world, far away from everyone. Being far away meant not only missing out on hearing the coaches yell, but also missing out on much of the meet. Though less watched than track runners, people in field events still developed skills, and added team points. ,g As freshman Kyle Henderson nuke an excellent landing In the long jump pit. freshmen Quang Bui and Robbie Ratliff look on. 174 SftanU

76e Wome ' JieU As was the case for most field sports, both J.V. and varsity Softball had to take to the road for practices and games because the sports complex still was not finished. For varsity the road was somewhat shorter — Lone Hill was the locale, and returning to their old junior high school was not all fun and games. The J.V. players, however, were more inconvenienced. They were transported to and from La Verne College Fields daily for practices and home games. Because of this fact, the home field advantage wasn ' t as advantageous, and a home-run wasn ' t met with the same enthusiasm. Despite the fact that the Softball team began the season with this strike against them, the players were ready and willing to get started. At try-outs, experience and talent were the deciding factors. Connie Romero said, I felt a sense of accomplishment just making the team. Spirit and hopes were high as the season began and with seven returning players, varsity had the experience it took to win. I think the most exciting thing about Softball is working with a Returning junior Jenni Werner said, with their experience, we should win a lot more games.
