Coach Waters, just in her first year as a Warrior coach, stated, I didnt think that sophomores could combine to win a region title, but they surprised me. She was particularly impressed with efforts like the one sophomore Chris Avis rendered. Avis raced to the championship in both the 200 and 400 meter girls races as well as a relay team. Camille Davis wasnt really a surprise to anyone, said her coach. Camille was more or less expected to do well and she did, said Waters. If better weather had come Clearfields way Friday, Camille most likely would have run the 3200 meter race as well as all the others garnered bet- ween the girls and boys Region One championship teams was very apparent last Thursday and Friday at Clearfield. The Falcon men werent loaded with a bunch of blue chip athletes as some mens teams around the region were. The shining difference was their amazing team depth and seniors who provided leadership. Now, how about the Weber girls, who swept the 1980 title in convincing style? Coach Sue Waters says again and again that it was her spirited sophomores who made the big difference. The team, believe it or not, entered the region meet at Clearfield with only two seniors. that These sophomores represented the Warriors, may have been new to the high school track and field scene, but talent is one thing they did have. The Warriors didnt have the team depth like the Falcon boys had, but blue chippers they did have. It was all made apparent in the final standings. Memorable Girls Year school year will go The 1979-8down in the records as one of the most productive girls sports years in the history of Weber High School. The track and field championship can also be added to the other .titles she'participated in. Highlight Of Meet Waters claims the highlight of the region meet was Kristin Fraziers performance in the high jump. She has had bad days and bad weather and bad everything happen to her. When the good weather finally came out on Thursday, Kristin had a best. jump of 7 which is her e Her best jump, previous to that She didnt want to let time, was Weber State College down, who has awarded her a scholarship in track and field, said Waters. Rhonda Calder, the only other all-tim- 5-- 5-- 4. senior besides Frazier, wanted frantically to beat Jennifer James of Roy in the hurdles race. But once again the sophomore whiz from Roy took first place. Calder did take third in the 110 hurdles. Cristie Creamer was shinning in the discus where she took second place and was a notch better, taking first in the shot put.. Waters appears to be quite excited about competition next year, with the loss of only two seniors and a great influx of talented young sophomores coming her way from local', junior highs around. Good news is that the Jenkins sisters will be coming back to Weber with their father getting his job back in the area. Bad news might come in the addition of the sport of softball, which could lure a number of girls back away from the track and field team. Other standouts on the Weber team were Ann Parsons, Natalie Rhees, Michelle Waite, Kristie Hansen, Janet Williamson and Lisa Blacker, who took first place" in the long jump,., )0r, i Tt.rrion- ( Crockett Mazes to victory 0 Wildcat HIGH MEDLEY relay champions were Natalie DeVries Michelle Waite, LaQuitta Sorenson and Sue Dawson. WEBER scrimmages conclude Weber State ended its Spring Football drills last Thursday evening with an scrimmage in intra-squa- d Wildcat Stadium. The offense scored on all four tries from the ten yardline in goaline drills, three of them coming on passes from quarterback Bill Tantillo. Eric Allen caught two and Curt Miller one. The other score came on a run by tailback Kelvin Matthews. After evaluating the films over the weekend, Head Coach Pete Riehlman feels this is the best Spring practice the Wildcats have had in his four years as head coach. This has been far and away the best Spring practice weve had since I have been here, said Riehlman. The hitting on both sides of the line has been tremendous, that, I would say, has been the outstanding characteristic of the drills. Secondly, we really cut our turnovers down. In the last 182 scrimmage plays, the offense turned it over just twice, so that is very encouraging. Riehlman saidjhe enthusiasm of the team was excellent and that many of the players commented that they had a The players had a good time during our drills, Riehlman said. I think that showed in the hard hitting and extra effort they put into it. We had just one injury (Darren Rhodes) during the driils that kept a player out, so were happy in that respect. Riehlman said that has evaluated all the players at each position and they know who will be the number one candidate at each spot come August n drills begin. when We know now who can and cannot do it at each position which gives us a better outlook going into our August n drills, said Riehlman. He said that defensively, the team has learned to go to the ball on turnovers and give total alertness to where the ball is going at all times. Offensively, the running backs are running with much more confidence and taking right at the defense. fun-tim- FIRST PLACE finishers in the field events include Cristie Creamer in the in the long jump and Kristen Frazier in the high shot put, Lisa Blackner jump. 'Cats sign another cage star forwKent Smith, a from powerful Vincennes Junior College, has signed a national letter of intent to play with the Wildcats next winter, Smith is the sixth player signed by Weber State this Spring.

According to the Vincennes Sports Information Department, Smith, though not the leading scorer on the team, was probably the best shooter. His best attributes besides his shooting, is his ability to take care of the ball and rebounding. In the 37 games Vincennes played this season, Smith was the leading scorer in 12 of those contests.
