A Record Season The girls track team strutted their stuff by breaking five school records. The two mile run and the four hundred meter dash were both broken by Stacey Kilburn; the 300 hundred meter low hurdles by Melanie Hoopes; the 800 meter run by Michelle Magill; and the mile relay by Kilburn, Magill, Hoopes and Mary Miller. The girls finished second at regionals with a stiff competition of eighteen teams. Congratulations were also in order for tieing with Constantine and Colon for the League Title. Early in the season both teams defeated the girls, and this showed great team work to defeat them at the meet.

Softball team started off the season with a new coach, Mrs. Jane Hall. Mrs. Hall was left with mostly freshman on the team, because five of the sophomores were moved up to the varsity. This was only the second year White Pigeon has had a J.V. Softball team, so Mrs. Hall had her work cut out for her. This year the girls won three games and also won the Constantine Invitational. This was a step up from last year, when they only won one game. Donna Lewis did a nice job for the team in pitching. Nikki Strawser and Lisa Bumpus were the big sluggers for the girls.
