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.

They’re Off And Swimming GIRL S SWIMMING 1979-1980 brought another plus for girls sports - a swimming and diving team! The team, made up of approximately 30 girls and 8 divers, was coached by Dave Busch and Dwight Schwartz. The team was led by three team captains: Karrie Ghys, junior; Jane Baecke and Lynn Moseley, seniors. Their season began in mid-August and ended in mid-November. But as Coach Busch put it, “It’s a learning experience both ways, they do their best, but they aren’t expecting to win all the meets.” BOYS SWIMMING 1980 not only held a new sport for girls, but also for boys too! That sport is boys swimming and diving, coached by Dave Busch. Top: Pam Sollenberger, senior, swims toward the end.
