Feminine Footwork Runners to your marks. Get set. Go! With these words from the starter, this year ' s UCHS Girls ' Track Team got off to a great beginning. I know that some of the individuals from the team will even make GIF championships, exclaimed runner, Tosha Delaca. With all of their hard training, they deserve it! Tosha added. The UCHS Girls Track Team worked strenuously everyday. Increasing their speed, improving their form and building up endur- ance were three key goals the girls set for them- selves. Aside from training, a team needs to feel like a team to be a team, stated long jumper Lynn Bremner. I think we have a really outstanding team this year because no matter how we do, we always have each others ' support. The endless effort the girls put into training was evident especially by the achievements of girls like Monique Weaver and Lynn Bremner. Monique set school records in 100 meter and 200 meter sprints as well as m the 400 meter relay with times of 12.2, 26.3, and 51.0 seconds. Lynn Bremner ' s talent lay in the long jump where she beat her own record from the year before with a length of 18 ' 1 . Whether in hurdling, shotputting, sprinting, relay- ing or high jumping, the girls track team of ' 84 gave it their all. Tina Robinson, Andnda Turner, Monique Weaver, Shirl Washington - U.C. ' s fabulous foursome. Kim Grennan glides through the air with ease. Lisa Clark summons a the shotput. her strength for Ananda Turner gets off the line with power and grace Lynn Bremner gives the triple jump her best ef- fort t I don ' t think there ' s anybody back there! states Cheryl Washington. Monique Weaver rounds the turn and heads tor Heather Croft stretches out during practice, o ' ' 0 ' ' ' y Nancy Nadeau makes a one point landing in the long jump. 122 Girls Track

,,5 ' ts- Coming to a high school where everyone was older and seemed to be taller was a frightening experience for most sophomores, most of which only saw the bad points. After being at U.C. for a few weeks the tenth graders found out that there were some good points too. I like the fact that everyone was older and more mature, but I don ' t like being teased about my grade! commented Karen Merker, a sopho- more here at U.C. The juniors on the other hand already knew what high school life was like, eased through the year with a sence of pride. It ' s better than being a sophomore was a big response among most of the juniors, but the biggest thought was I would rather be a senior! The two classes looked forward to the senior year when they would be the superior class. 124 Classes
