In the balance beam contest the Falcons have, what they consider, a strong candidate for a region title in Lori Johnson, a sophomore Lori has won the last two meets in her area, she competes on the Class II or intermediate level usually finishes right behind Lon in the meets. In the Class II or beginrcrg event, the Falcons have a lot of depth with Robyn Taylor, Terresa Poulson, Susan Hansen, Michelle Watts, Sally Yamada and Sandy Hampton AH of these gals are working hard and many of them should move up to Class U next year. THE FALCONS expect to finish well in the region vaulting championships with sophomore Dawn Beers and junior Jan Dahle heading the list. These two compete on the upper level, which means they work optionais as we!! as compulsones The Class III list is also deep with all the girls listed as about equal. Competing m t be Class III vaulting are Sandy Hampton, Sharon Chicado, Nancy Nelson and Terresa Paul.
