MEN'S TRACK

All-Americans Chosen From Outstanding Tech Team

One has only to glance at the 1987 men's track team statistics to realize what an impressive showing they made. In ad- dition to team accomplishments, the Jackets had several notable standouts at the national level. James Purvis, Alan Drosky, and Eric Smith were the three All- Americans chosen from the Tech squad. In addition, the Jackets had four people qualify for the Indoor Nationals, and five people qualify for the Outdoor Nationals. The Jackets also sent six runners to the prestigious Penn Relays. It was ACC competition that really in- spired the Jackets to some very notable achievements. At the ACC meet, the Jackets had more first and second place finishes than any other school at the meet, finishing in third place overall, a mere five points from second. At the end of the season, nine of the Tech tracksters had been chosen to the All-Conference team, the most ever in Tech's outdoor track history.

212 / Sports WOMEN'S TRACK Lady Runners Set the Pace The women's track team was on the move in the 1986-87 season. Sometimes practicing as much as three to four hours a day, the girls proved they would be tough contenders in any division. In her third year as head coach, Dee Todd taught her runners how to win. In the ACC's outdoor conference, the wom- en's track team placed fourth overall. Kathy Harrison, an All-American, went to the Nationals. Other team members, Brid- get Koster, Michelle Linihan, Pam Harris, and Kathy Harrison, individually qualified for the prestigious Penn Relays. The team also excelled in indoor track. In the ACC's indoor conference meet, the Lady Jackets finished fifth overall. As if practice wasn't enough, first- quarter freshmen must attend study hall each day. This helped them adjust to their busy practice schedule without getting behind in their academic work. As the Lady Jackets continue to practice year- round, next year's team promises to be a Front Row: Laura KanAly, Chris Vorpahl, Karen Hoffman, Kathy Harrison, Michelle Linihan, Lesley James, Bridget Koster, Tomika Whitten. 2nd Row: Wanda Durden, Janet Gould.

The Jackets, ranked 25th nation- ally, upset 13th ranked Cal-Berkeley, 5-4, and gave top ranked Stanford a run for their money, but lost 5-3. "It was a good team effort," commented new head coach Jean Desdunes. Starting this year with a healthy team, the Jackets are hoping to finish second, or possibly dethrone Clemson to finish first, in the ACC. This is an experienced team with three seniors at the top of the line-up, as only one player from last year's team was lost. Tech is hoping to qualify the top three players and two doubles teams in the NCAA's. Tech is looking for a strong perfor- mance from their number one player, Ken- ny Thorne, whose playing suffered last year due to injuries. Thorne teams with the Jacket's number two player, Bryan Shelton, to form Tech's top doubles team. Andre Simm, at the number three spot, duos with George Paulson for the second AA doubles team.

214 / Sports WOMEN'S TENNIS Lady Netters Looking Forward to a Positive Season

The lady netters are rebuilding a very young team this year with three of the top four faces being new in the lineup. Tech's top two players, Kristy Kottich and Kim Tatum, are both freshmen, with Kottich ranked 46th among southeastern col- leges. The third and fourth spots are held by sophomores, Leigh Roberts and Amy Thomas respectively. Thomas was red- shirted last year to comply with NCAA regulations regarding transfer students. Roberts, who won the consolation match, finishing fourth in the Southern Intercollegiates in the fall, teams with Ta- tum, who also won two rounds in the main draw at the Southern Intercollegiates, as the Lady Jacket's top doubles team. We are playing with a lot of enthu- siasm," commented coach Rick Davison, who is looking to move his team out of the basement of the ACC. His goal is to finish the season with at least a .500 record.

Sports / 215 VOLLEYBALL

Women Post New Winning Record in Impressive Season At the beginning of the season, third year coach Judy Sackfield set some very serious goals for this year's Lady Jacket volleyball team. The team's primary goal was to beat an ACC team, and secondly, to have at least a .500 season. This season proved to be the best one ever posted by a Tech volleyball team, as they surpassed the previous season-high win mark of 8 early on in the season. This very young team, consisting primarily of freshmen and sophomores, was led by the outstanding play of their setter, Mar- garet Gales. At season's end, the Lady Jackets hadn't beaten an ACC team, and fell just two matches short of a .500 season, end- ing at 18-20. However, Coach Sackfield asserts that next year's season will be an even bigger success, as this very young team has gained some much needed ex- perience.

216 / Sports Sports /217 WRESTLING AA Funds Cut Under the direction of head coach Low- ell Lange, the Georgia Tech Wrestling Team accumulated a 4-3 record in the first half of their season. While wrestling is still considered a varsity sport, the issuance of scholarships has been discontinued, although those scholarships already is- sued continue to be honored. In addition to shrinking support from the Athletic As- sociation, the team's schedule will con- tinue to get smaller from year to year. This year's team is quite young; no wrestlers will be lost due to graduation. The team's best wrestler is Tony Marlow, a 134-pound freshman who had accumu- lated a 6-3 record by early February. Oth- er notable standouts include Steve Moel- ler, a 167-pound junior, Eric Gebhardt, a 177-pound sophomore and Kevin Grass, a 190-pound junior. In tournament action, the grapplers finished in the middle of the pack at the Mid-South Tournament early in the season, and they look to face much stiffer competition against Division I schools at the Citadel Tournament at the end of the season.

New President Takes Charge This year's women's swimming team was young but showed great potential. Due to the closing of the old pool, they had a tough time getting started, but with their new president, Sheryl Watkins, things began to look up. The lady swim- mers competed in a meet at Georgia State this past fall and did well consid- ering the number and caliber of teams participating. Team standouts included: Paige Kern in the 50m and 100m freestyle, Sheryl Watkins in the 100m backstroke and 200m IM, Becky Dey in the freestyle, Mar- ion Sewell in the 200m freestyle and the butterfly, and Lori Schwartz in the 500m freestyle.

Chris Gay is the team's standout sprinter, while Andrew Geiszler has been the team's ver- satile workhorse by swimming a variety of events well. David Codelli has been the team dynamo by swimming outstanding performances in clutch events. Former team standout, Tim Holligan, who did not compete for much of the season, made the NCAA cuts for the 200 meter fly. Although the team no longer holds var- sity status, the strength of their schedule hasn't decreased, nor has their desire to win.

Sports / 223 MEN'S SOCCER Men's Soccer Team Strives to Attain Varsity Status

At 6-2-3, the Georgia Tech Men's Soccer Club posted their best record in the last ten years. Although they start- ed the season with a loss to the Geor- gia All-stars, a team made up of ex- professionals, and ended the season with a loss to powerful Florida, they put together a streak of nine games with- out losing. According to club president Chris Shriver, defeating Florida State and tying Tennessee established Tech as the number one club in the Southeast. Shriver also stated that Coach Bob Haynes did an excellent job of coor- dinating his younger players into his game plan. The emergence of the younger players will provide Tech with a strong nucleus in its attempt to gain varsity status. Tech's key offensive players were Tim Milan and Jeff Rich- ardson, while defensive standouts in- cluded Richard Murlin, Robert Dowd, Chris Shriver, and Doug Mayfield. The soccer club is putting together a tougher schedule for next year to pro- vide for more competition.

224 / Sports WOMEN'S SOCCER Soccer Team Young But Gaining Skill and Maturity

With the loss of several seniors to grad- uation, this year's women's soccer team found itself with a very young squad look- ing to gain experience. The team came on strong at the end of the season, finishing with a record of 2-2-1 after beating Au- burn and Agnes Scott, losing to Clemson and Florida State, and tying Georgia State. The team competes primarily against other club teams, but occasion- ally takes on a varsity team. Outstanding performances were turned in this year by goalie Maura Trubman, center halfback Bridget Bapst, and Karen Milton, who is credited with holding the defense together. During the winter, the team plays in an indoor league where they are currently undefeated, and will in all likelihood make the play-offs. According to club president Maura Trubman, the team hopes to spend next season gaining valuable experience, as there will be very few players grad- uating.

In ad- dition, the younger players on the squad stepped up and took charge which con- tributed to their success. As the Tech Rugby Club far and away had the best collegiate squad in the state, the entire team was chosen to represent the state of Georgia in the Southeastern Regional Tournament.

Sports / 237 INTRAMURALS Intramurals Offer Break From Rigors of Academics

Once again this year, hundreds of Tech students took to the playing fields to en- gage in all levels of competition in the many intramural sports opportunities Tech has to offer. Students participate in intramural sports in one of the following categories: fraternity, independent, res- idence halls, and women's division. Within each category, three levels of competition exist; "A" league — the best level of play eligible for the school championship, "B" league — play on a competitive basis but not involving the school championship, and "C" league — for those just wishing to play, with no officials provided. During fall quarter, students participat- ed in flag football (always the most pop- ular event), ultimate frisbee, volleyball, walleyball, and cross country. With the onset of winter quarter, students moved indoors to participate in basketball and racquetball, while only soccer kept stu- dents outdoors. During spring quarter, the crack of bats and the slap of leather filled the air as softball intramurals got underway. In addition to softball, students also participated in golf and track. As always, intramurals offered students a time to gather with friends and take a break from the rigors of Tech's demand- ing academic atmosphere.

242 / Sports Sports / 243 Tech Offers Multiple Avenues For Competitive Play When one speaks of competition on the Georgia Tech campus, more often than not thoughts of grading curves and GPA's come to mind. Here at Tech, however, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in competitive sports on all levels. For those desiring a more serious level of competition, Georgia Tech offers the opportunity to be either a spectator or a participator in intercollegiate varsity sports. To obtain a more relaxed atmosphere of competition, Georgia Tech organizes a variety of club level sports open to par- ticipation by all comers. Georgia Tech's intramural sports program also provides an excellent opportunity for casual com- petition aimed more at building friend- ships than fierce rivalries.
