Girls Hit Big Time With an outstanding season record of 14-8, the 1984 Varsity Softball team proved their ability by qualifying for the Middlesex County and State Tournaments. The team was led by junior captain Eleanor Wykpisz who was voted first team All-Conference and second team All-County. Janice Reilly, a fine out- fielder and lead off batter, was also voted first team All-Conference. Making the second team All- Conference were sophomores Jean O'Toole (pitcher), and Kim Walker (3rd base); and senior, Jeanne Rad- wanski (outfield). With the majority of players being undergraduates, Coach Nick Russo anticipates a strong '85 season since all players will be returning. BACK — Coach Nick Russo. Jeanne Radwanski, Kirsten Conroy.

This group of girls joined together to become one of the finest teams in Middlesex County. The girls were led by Sophomore Bernadette Wykpisz. Her quickness and good glove saved many runs and kept the E.R.A.’s to a minimum. Pitchers Debbie Kelton, Karen Simonetti, Michelle Bialoblocki, and Diane Poretti also showed their pitching effort throughout the season. The outfield was patrolled by Kathy Hurley, Chris Cartwright, and Trish Radwanski who displayed great fielding. Sophomore signal caller was Karen Scupp who directed the infield. The girls gained a lot of ex- perience this season so they will be qualified to take over on varsity where many seniors left off. BACK — Coach Lori Feldman. Chris Cartwright. June O'Leary.

Winning Athletes The annual Eagles Sports Ban- quet was held at Buck Smith’s in Keansburg. It brought together athletes, coaches, and parents for a night of reminiscence and ap- preciation. Every athlete who par- ticipated on a sport at St. Mary’s during the school year was presented with a plaque in recogni- tion of his her achievements. M.V.P.’s and Coaches Awards were given out to outstanding players in each sport, and shirts were presented to all senior athletes. Jackets were also distributed to all coaches in appreciation of their hard work, patience and dedica- tion. One highlight of the evening was Mr. Tice’s slide show which featured both athletes and coaches in a variety of candid situations. The banquet proved to be an en- joyable conclusion to a very memorable year of sporting competition.
