Winning Season The record of the Varsity Softball team was 5- 3. The season started out excellent with 5 wins losses until the game against Smith Cotton from then on it went down hill. The starters for the Varsity squad were as fol- lows: seniors Kristi Burkhart, and Carisa Proctor, juniors Sandy Parker, and Shannon Palmer, sophomores, Shelly Hutton, and Vanessa Johnson, freshmen Stephanie Morland, Leanne Thixton, and Jennifer Henderson. The honors this year were awarded to Kristi Burkhart and Sandy Parker. Kristi Burkhart received first team all conference, and also MVP of the Softball team. Sandy Parker was chosen for first team all conference. Carisa Proctor senior said, This year ' s Softball season was basically very disappointing for me. Although the young girls did very well and gained a lot of experience, the older players didn ' t come through when we needed to. Coree Cutler, junior said, This season was pretty disappointing. I felt we really weren ' t prepared this year. We had a good team, but just couldn ' t get our stuff together. Kristi Burkhart senior said, Softball did have a disappointing end this season. Everybody just lost their confidence and gave up. I guess I was just hoping my last season would be better! There was a lot of experience gained by the younger play ers. And because of seven return- ing starters the years to come show lots of promise.

Records broken The 1987-88 boys and girls ' varsity track teams not only did quite well at all of their track meets, but also had four track members that either broke or set school records in their in- dividual events. In girls ' varsity track Bonnie Dickey broke one school record. In the 100 meter dash Dickey es- tablished a record of 12.89 seconds. This beat 1982 Chantel Johnson ' s record of 12.9. Dickey also set a school record in the 300 meter low hurdles with a time of 49.19 seconds. I was about ready to give up on the 100 because I could never get under thirteen. I finally did, though, commented Dickey. Mindy Massey beat 1980 graduate Chris Eh- ler ' s record height in the high jump of four feet ten inches with a height of five feet even. Mas- sey stated, I ' ve had this goal for the past two seasons to break the high jump record, and I finally did it. Kristi Burkhart broke the record in the 1600 meter run with a time of five minutes fifty-nine seconds. This beat 1986 graduate Dovetta Bon- ner ' s record of six minutes and seventeen point eight seconds. In boys ' varsity track one record was broken in the pole vault. Glenn Reed vaulted a height of eleven feet six inches. That was just enough to beat Mark Porter ' s old pole vault record of eleven feet even.
