Sports aficionados learned all their techniques from participating rather than spectatingp a few watched faithfully as VlEWllhl As the ice lays ahead, clear and shim- mering, you glide grace- fully forward as the crowd cheers upon an- nouncement of your name. Suddenly, you hear a bump and you realize that you have fallen off the couch in anticipation of the Olympic competition. With the unusual football season and usual bas- Cfaslr Course ln a scrimmage with the varsity team, the freshmen A team takes the defense to improve their playing ability quickly before their first game.

I waited four years to see the figure skating com- petition in the Olympics. I sat in front of the TV most of the dayand watched, freshman Leticia Birkey said. This season's NFL players strike upset many arm- chair athletes who strongly objected to teams filling in for the players on strike with scabs. I liked the way the playoffs turned out and I'm glad that the MVP, Danny Manning, was in them, but I wish Purdue and Arizona would've gone farther, junior David Birkey said. With all the televised sports, from wrestling to golf to football to the Olympics, the couch potato specialized in a new breed of armchair athletes.

TSE Trac With the inevitable and infamous words of hit the track, off-season athletes embarked on an odyssey justified only by thoughts of accom- plishment and glory in the next year of regular and hopeful post season play. Off-season, gives me a chance to work on my weaknesses, and try new things that I wouldn't try during the season, senior Brad Wisner said. During off-season coaches set goals to assist players as they improved their abilities, strength- ened their weaknesses and try new skills for the benefit of the team. . During the off-season, players have a chance to wi- 1 we,-.-ii, ,il become stronger, faster and build their endurance. It helps them throughout the season, varsity basketball coach Neal Calvert said. Athletes dreaded off-season which gained the reputation as a time of pain . The off-season program ranged from working out in the weight room, simple laps on the track to the dreaded Hell Mile. last year, I was in a very small off-season pro- gram, and this year I am looking forward to working with coach Calvert's tough program so I can improve my abilities to the fullest extent, junior john Ribsam said. Off-season gave both players and coaches opportu- nities to see where they stood with regards to others and helped to players get better and increase chances of win- ning. TRACK Edited By: Eric Dreher
