Forget all those nagging injuries and unpopular happenings acquainted with the 1980 Weber High womens gymnastics season, but remember the negative ions. Unless youre a member of the team itself, youll probably never get the story straight but what seems important is the fact a coach cared enough, enough in fact injury and adversity were eventually over- Linquist Leads Way Sophomore, Karen Lindquist, led the team through most of the season. She first opened her coaches eyes in a n meet against Ben Lomond when she took five first places and was easily awarded the Class II gymnasts for the meet. Other sophomores that Summers relied heavily upon were Jamie Perkins, Christy Hansen, and Reggie Davis. Reggie had a full twisting somersault; which highly enhanced her floor routine. Other Class II standouts were shadowed by undaunted success. Though crippled by injuries and having to cope with a highly talented Clearfield High team, the gymnastics program at Weber enjoyed what appears to have been one of their most successful season in many years. When the dust finally cleared from the region meet, the Warriors found themselves just 30 or so points from the top and five of their gymnasts qualified for the state meet. If one had of predicted that kind of finish last November, the thought alone would have been silly. When this season first began (her fifth coaching year), the team was having problems getting along, said It seems each Marlene Summers. year you have to come up with something different to get things going, but I never thought... Never thought shed have to buy 20 packages of flower seeds and gather milk cartons from the lunchrooms, have the team dig some dirt and plant themselves some flowers. But thats just what we did. My roommate, who thinks of the nuttiest things, suggested after reading a book on negative ions' that we try the flower planting idea. This had to be another one of her far out ideas, but I decided to do it because we needed something," said Summers. The idea bloomed and so did the Bowers. It wasn't long until the girls were pinning flowers on their coach before each meet and sniffing the flower dry before the final event came up. as; The region meet results are follows: Il was more psychological than anything else, but it worked," said pre-seaso- years at Weber High. During that span she has coached three track teams, four tennis tarns (two of which were region champions and the gymnastics program for the past five years. Summers grew up in Idaho, at- - tended Ricks College for two years,'1 transferred to Weber State College and later gained a teaching position in She didnt like the snakes and bugs and headed back home where she found no immediate openings. She settled for a student-teachin- g position at Valley Junior before being hired into the Weber High athletic system. I sincerely believe Ive got the best team in the state. And there isnt probably a thing I wouldnt do for anyone of those girls, added Arizona. juniors, Jena Davis and Sherie Rogers. The seniors included the team captains, Joyce McClain, Pam Dalton and Jody Hansen and another talented senior was Gina Cruz who moved into the Weber High scene last year. The top Class III gymnasts was Lisa Weston, who was short and had to really stretch to work on her Others in that division were Carla Bashford, Tereas Heiner, Chris Davis and Julie Gray. Injuries Hurt Warriors Summers said injuries hit her team harder this year than all combined in the four previous years of coaching. With talk of gymnastics being taken from the high school scene, the many injuries didnt help school officials opinions. Shelly larsen was lost after a terrifying injury on the horse. Maren Moyes career as a Weber gymnast was wrapped up when she broke two bones in her foot. Both of these gymnasts were to valuable members of the 1980 team, according to Summers. In the teams first dual meet with Clearfield, three injuries occured in the first 30 minutes, thus leaving the Warriors that much more crippled. Those three- girls later came back to compete. Summers Loves Coaching Summers had mentored for five some base running as Hicks walked nine men, but ime after time he pitched himself out of trouble. In the Royals second inning, Hicks walked the bases full, and then walked in a run, and Roy scored again on a fielders choice. Coach Fred Thompson started Sophomore Lance Jorgenson on the mound, and brought on senior, Bert Rich in the second, when Jorgenson got in trouble. Rich finished the game, and allowed two runs in the last five innings. Clearfield finished the first round of league play, tied with Bonneville for s top honors. Both teams have 4 1 records. Roy has yet to win its first league game in Region One. Both teams will be in action Friday. Roy travels to Weber, and Clearfield travels to Bonneville. By Bliss Fullmer Layton High School scored seven runs on eight hits, and committed two errors to defeat the Royals 7 3 in a game played on the Lancers Brad McCaulley. Huddleston drove in all of the Royal runs. Paul Hansen was tagged with the loss, and was relieved by Bert Rich in the fifth inning, Lance Jorgenson took the mound for the last inning.. Brett Mouldings J.V. team is faring better than the varsity team. The young Royals are 2- - 2 in Region One, and 3 - 2 for the season. They have wins over Provo, Layton, and Clearfield, while losing to Bonneville and to Clearfield. -- win-loo- Roy wins hard to buy . - Clearfields Brook Hicks struck out eleven Royals and gave up only two hits in leading his Falcons to a 7 - 2 victory, Tuesday night at Roy. Hicks went all the way for the Falcons. Shane Openshaw started things out, as lead-of- f hitter, when he slashed a double to left center, and scored Clearfields first run when Todd Gibbs signled him in from second base. Openshaw got a single in the fourth inning to go with his double. The leading hitter of the game was Dean Vernon, who went three for four at the plagte. Brooke Hicks, Todd Gibbs, Scott Frew, Don Perkins and Mike Laboto each singled for Clearfield. Paul Hansen and Wade Jacklin were the only Royals to get on base with hits. Hansen doubled to the center-fiel- d fence, and Jacklin laced a single up the middle. The Roys got -- diamond, Friday. The Royals pounded out seven hits, but could only get three runs across the plate. Roy had hits from Ken Huddleston (a double and a single), Jeff Lewis (a double and a single) and singles by Robert Dance, Kenny Tulane and Is it your turn for a record? Warm winds, melting the ice on Flaming Gorge Reservoir, are uncovering one of the best trophy womens' gymnastics team entered the state meet this week with five participants. Through tough and good times, the team emerged with one of their better seasons in years. Here are the senior team captains, Joyce McClain, Pam Dalton and Jody Hansen. Their coach is Marlene Summers. WEBER HIGH'S fisheries in the West. Traditionally, as soon as the ice is off the Gorge, Large brown, rainbow and lake trout are caught. Last year on April 7, a 38 inch rainbow trout was caught, breaking the Utah state record held for 32 years. The record rainbow was one of the Kamloop strain planted in the reservoir between 1969 and 1971. In 1977, Flaming Gorge also produced the World record brown trout weighing 33 pounds and 10 ounces. Most fishermen will never hook one of these record-breakin- g trout, but there is always a chance a new record will be on the line. Flaming Gorge is open to angling year-roun- a day. |
