Coach Holmer comments, “Team depth is critically important.” Holmer's top players are sophomore Mary Backe, who shoots in the mid or upper forties, and was second in the district; and junior Kathy Hill, who shoots in the low fifties. Coach Holmer says that the team performed much better than last year, losing by fewer strokes than in any year. This year the team won as many matches as in the previous two years. Boys Golf This year has been one of ups and downs for the boys golf team. In fact, even though they finished seventh in the district they equaled their best score of the year at the Rockridge Invitational. Junior Eric Stiegel missed qualifying for sectionals by one stroke. Top: Junior Kathy Hill seems quite happy with this year’s turn of events Middle: Sophomore Mary Baecke shows the huge grin that seems indicative of her successful season.

U. T. Runs Through Another Season Girls Cross Country The girls cross country team ran into their second successful season this year. The young team finished with a 9-3 record. The season started August 16 and ran through November 2. The top girls ran approximately 40-50 miles a week. According to coach Dennis Steinmetz, “They did fall a little short of completing their goals by not making it to state. Taking fourth at district was an accomplishment since it was the first year fo district.” Coach Steinmetz is expecting most all the girls to return next year for another successful season, except for seniors, Dina Ader and Tracey Stiles.

One of those goals were to beat Rock Island in which they did at state,” according to Coach Gary Phillips. Coach Phillips is very happy with his team, he says they’re young and they have very good attitudes towards their running. He is expecting most of them back to run through another successful season next year.
