Fullback Rod Tarter stepped off to a fifteen yard gain against the Wahtonka Eagles. I'm gonna die! l'm sure that's how most of the team felt our first morning of daily dou- bles. We were required to run ten 24O's. A 240 was to run from one goalpost to the other and back, a total of 240 yards. That wouldn't be bad, but you had only 45 seconds to do it in. After my fourth one l was ready to die. Luckily, I wasn't the only one, the whole team felt the same way. Chris Stone. Above- No pain, no gain: During the hot summer practices, the team received their very own definition of hard work pays off.

I II is what football is all about, and the 1987 football season was filled with exactly that. The Vikings fought to the state playoffs with a 7-1 conference record.

That was the phrase heard most often during the 1987 Volleyball season. Agonizing daily doubles started on August 24th, and continued until September 2nd, when school began. Umatilla started the season with a tough game against the highly-ranked Riverside Pirates. Varsity, and J.V. didn't do well, but the C team pulled through with a win. The rest of the season went well, according to coaches Charlie Shockley, and Curt Wheeler. Awards were also a very big part of the Volleyball season. First time Letterman in Volleyball were Allison Clucas, Cherie Phillips, Cheryl Richardson, and Roxie Robbins. Players receiving recognition during the season were Anji Jorstad and Cherie Phillips, All-Tournament Team plaques at the Umatilla lnvitationalg and Anji Jorstad and Jamie Moore, All- Tournament Team medals at the Helix Invitational Tournament.
