Smashing season sends Barkowski to state Pumping iron and running laps was often greeted by com- plaints but the result for the varsity boys tennis team was a winning record of 8-5. The team was highlighted by junior Brian Barkowski as he set an individual record of l3-7 and qualified for state after accumulating l7 points in sectional competition. I was very happy to go down state, but I think l could have played much better if l wouldn't have been so psyched out, said Barkowski. The team took first place in the T.F. North - T.F. South tour- nament and a first place in its own Thornridge tournament. It placed third in conference and third in sectionals. At the top of the line-up was Barkowski at first singles, Mark Major and Larry Szymczak at first doubles. Sophomore Doug larard earned the spot of second singles and sometimes played second doubles. Usual- ly playing second doubles, though, were Paul Lamb and Steve Hawrot. larard, commenting on his l26 Boys Tennis season, said, lt was a chal- lenge being a sophomore and playing both singles and dou- bles on the varsity team. Coach Dave Konkol, pleased with the season, ad- ded, l-2-3 we had a winning record, we qualified a guy for state and for the third year in the row we beat Thornwood and Thornton and were district champs.

Softball haunted by final inning losses Experiencing a tough sea- son, the varsity softball team ended with an over-all record of S-16. The roster consisted of one senior, thirteen juniors, and two sophomores. Standouts Cathy Wiberg and Aimee Cal- lanan earned all-conference honors in the outfield and third base, respectively. Endurance was a key factor during the season as several games were decided in the fi- nal innings. HThe season was productive, and we remained competitive. Losing many games in the final inning made it hard to keep our spirit up. Our first regional game was no exception as we dropped to H- F in the final inning, stated Coach Sam Tortorici. Hard work and team effort were also major factors during the season. ul feel as though our team did much better. We had more experience, and it showed in our close games. We worked hard all season which made it hard to lose runs, said Cathy Crimmins, first baseman. The junior-varsity team end- ed with a 14-7 record. SCOREBOARD Opponent T.F. North T.F. North T.F.
