Before the '79 girls' track season even began, the major goal was a trip to State. The Panthers breezed through Regionals and Sectionals. At State great teamwork and extreme individual effort helped them edge Howards Grove 38-32. State place winners were as follows: First place — 440 relay fleam — Tina Althoff, Angie Althoff, Cindy Jenkins, and Sara Higdon; second place-high jump — Paula Blunck; third place-high jump — Jean Saxton; and third place — 110 hurdles — Cindy Jenkins. The Panthers finished with a 7-2 record, including victories in the Logan Invitational, GET Class C Invitational, and La Crescent Invitational Relays. The girls managed a third place finish in the Coulee Conference Tournament behind runner-up Onalaska, and Champs Arcadia. Individuals receiving special recognition on the team were: Jean Saxton and Amy Iverson — MVP's; Leslie Ertz — Most Dedicated; Paula Blunck — Most Improved; Sara Higdon — Most Valuable Underclassman; and Rita Sweeney — the Hustle Award. 4 WIAA State Champions 1979 Track Team — First row: Manager Patty Pearsall, Rita Osiecki, Rita Sweeney, Sara Higdon, Leslie Ertz, Linda Niebuhr, Barb Gaskill.

Shares Conference The 1979 Panther baseball team surprised the Coulee Conference by capturing a share of the conference title. West Salem posted a 13-6 overall record, 9-3 in the conference. Onalaska was the only Coulee opponent the Panthers were unable to defeat. Coach A1 Niedfeldt's players were led by MVP Eric Knutsop and Captain Chris Boyle.
