Girls Had Slow Start Girls' Track began with a problem every runner dreads, a slow start. A lack of interest was a major problem the team had to come to grips with. The girls practiced with the boys at the Turner track after school. With the exception of the pole vault and javelin throw, the girls' team competed in the same events as the boys' team. An event in which the girls competed and boys did not was the softball throw. Debbie Hart, junior, set a new school record of 206'4 in the softball throw. Shin splints, blisters, and all the other pains experienced by tracksters were felt by the girls. The team of Cheryl Hamilton, Kandy Roth, Yvette Martiny, and Jeanette Harris broke the school record for the 880 yard relay with a time of 1:49 . 4.

Six Wins Spark Enthusiasm The motto of the baseball team this year was give 100070 of what you have. This motto typified the team, since they accomplished four major things. First, the team won 10 games during the season, which is the most victories that a Turner baseball team has had in the four year history of baseball at this school. Secondly, at one point in the season, the team had a six game winning streak which will give teams in the future a record to try and break. Thirdly, the team played a very competitive schedule with mostly 5A schools, including all the Shawnee Mission schools. Our players were able to successfully compete against this high caliber of competition. This will have great benefits for our athletic teams in the future. Finally, this team has continued to play enthusiastically and in a very positive and gentlemanly manner. The team voted Steve Wiseman the l Most Valuable Player and Mike Wilson the Most Inspirational Player.
