Wanberg makes name for herself alt Weber MVP of Weber State Penny Wanberg, women's volleyball, says her team may be trying too hard to win. Weber State's success in the fall sport couldn't be termed terrific by any means. The Wildcats have won just one match in 1979 and are winless in league play. That's tough information to talk about and its hardly indicative of a dozen or so Weber women who give their all every time they take the court. I believe sometimes weve got that losing streak in our minds so bad that we fail even though we try extra hard. Our natural abilities arent flowing like theyre supposed to. ' But the day we get our minds clear and get a couple of victories under our belt, well do what were capable of doing, said Wanberg. Wanberg came to Weber State via Salt Lake and Hillcrest High. Chalk one up for Jane Miner, the Womens Athletic Director, who succeeded jn Penny with her when she accepted the Weber State post. The Huskies enjoyed unlimited success with Jane and Penny in their ranks. Hillcrest captured both a volleyball and basketball state championship their last . yearthere. Being active in sports and meeting friends through it has been as much a part of Wanbergs life as anything two-tim- i e Kt else. Her brother LaMar, with support from his friends, never missed the opportunity to invite his sister to knock heads in neighborhood softball and football ruffles. Unfamiliar with Weber I had never heard of Weber State, living in Midvale, said Wanberg. My main reason for coming e and the chanhere was the small community ce to help a relatively new woman's sports program get off the ground. Helping the Wildcat program off the ground is exactly what the forme Hillcrest star has done. She not only tests her skills in volleyball each fall, but is active on the womens basketball and softball life-styl- N squads. The happiest times Ive enjoyed here at Weber are when we've played to our potential and came out victorious. Then everyone was pleased ourselves, the coaches and the fans, said Wanberg. I expect someday thats going to happen, in volleyball . Right now were mentally wrapped up even though were physically capable of beating anyone, she said. Being MVP for two years straight couldnt have been accomplished without the little things she picked Up from noted players around the league and even her own teammates. Lori Parrish of Utah State has taught me a lot, just watchingthe way she plays, said Wanberg. Penny is majoring in physical education and likes the idea of someday being able to teach in high school and coach. I believe that the women in sports have worked hard to get what they have. For the guys, theyve been able to get what they want but for women, it's been a fight to get what they even need," she noted. When the volleyball nets are finally put to rest for another season, Penny feels Weber Shite basketball will capture a few more fans. Softball should even be more successful according to Penny. Chris Thomock and Jan Keim, Weber High coach, have been two figures in the paat that have sparked Pennys continued interest in women's athletics. , Both these people helped me a lot in getting started at Weber," she stated. I owe them a lot." , PENNY WANBERG SOARS HIGH in collegiate volleyball contest against the University of Utah.
