They went on to take second place in SICA East Confer- ence and third in IHSA Sec- tionals and sent two people to state. This was a season filled with many great team efforts which contributed to the team's overall success in big meets, stated Coach Ray Czaswicz. Individual achievements in- cluded conference champions Kellie Powers, discus, Maria laques, 3200-meter run, Kim Winfield, 400'meter dash.

Right: Practice makes perfect as Kim Winfield prepares to run 57 sec., her best time in the quarter mile. Far Right: The flop was the most common jump used by the high- jumpers, as Angela Russell successful- ly clears the height. Top: Up and above the rest in her best event, Kim Wolfe runs the hurdles. Middle: Coming from behind to win was not unusual for Koreen Bridge- man and Maria laques. 122 Girls Track The state qualifiers were la- gues, 1600-meter run and Bridgeman, 3200-meter run. Going down state as a fresh- man Bridgeman found the competition intense. When it came right down to state, l knew it was going to be tough, so l went out there and tried my best, stated Bridgeman.
