Whether they sailed through the air in an attempt to perform a difficult vault or balanced delicately as they danced on the balance beam, the gymnastists worked with such ease that few spectators ever realized the many hours of hard work that went behind each performance. As the individual girls daftly glided over and around the uneven bars, it was never apparent that they had undergone weeks of bruises and strains to master their particular skill. Even in the free exercise routines, the girls showed only poise and gaility as they moved through the difficult patterns of tumbling and dancing to complete their routines. To the viewer, gymnastics was a sport of beauty; it was graceful and the participants were agile but to the girls who competed in this particular sport, it was many hours of hard work, many feet of tape around strained muscles, and many tubs of cold water for soaking sore muscles. However, it was always worthwhile to the members of the gymnastics team. It was the excitement of individual competition and the fellowship of team participation. 1.

After many hours of practice, a few blisters, and a sore muscle here and there, the members of the team agreed that it had all been worthwhile. They had completed the year by placing 3rd. in the W.O.L. and finished 2nd. in the regionals which gave them their first major trophy. When asked for his personal feelings about the ' 8081 season, Co-Captain Chris Haggy stated, It felt great to come in second. It was an exciting and happy day for all of us. Kevin Wright, another member of the team, stated, Winning gave me and the rest of the team, one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment I ' ve ever had. It was worth all the hard work. 1.
