Page 2 | Friday, AUGUST 14 | 2009 Senior games

On behalf of the 2009 Summer National Senior Games Local Organizing Committee, I want to thank all the Volunteers who have worked so hard to make the 2009 Games a big success. Our volunteers are the heart of the Games, just like they were at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney — and we could not have produced the 2009 Games without everyone’s help. Our goal for the Games has been to provide the “best competitive conditions for athletes” and to send all our visitors home with great memories of incredible experiences in Palo Alto, Stanford and Northern California. And, we are proud to say, thanks to the ’09 volunteers and the community, we have achieved this goal. — Anne Warner Cribbs, President and CEO 2009 Senior Games

In the seventh game of the first set, Murchie and Will did not allow their opponents to score a single point. In the final game of the second set, a seemingly endless volley ended when the ball just topped the net and landed on Adams' and Brown’s side of the court. Asked how they won, Murchies said, “Our an- gles, drop shots and lobs, and lots of running.” “That’s our game,” Will added. Both women have plenty of experience practicing these skills, since they have played tennis almost their entire lives. Murchie has played for 60 years and Will for 54. While Will also plays singles, she finds her groove playing doubles with Murchie. “As we play, we kind of talk to each other so we’re changing at the right times,” Murchie said. “We know each other’s games,” Will added. According to their opponents in the semi- finals, Murchie and Will also have a whole game of their own, something other players have trouble adjusting to. “We wish we could have caught on earlier,” semifinals opponent Jane Huff, 70, of Cran- bury, N.J. said. “They have a lot of tricks,” Huff’s partner Edith Weber Veronica Crum, 70, of Spring Lake Heights, N.J. said. Crum and Huff are both fairly new to the Se- nior Games and have not played together long, a possible disadvantage compared to Murchie and Will. “The more you play together, the more you get Sylvia Will and Anita Murchie of Virginia won the gold medal in doubles Thursday at the Senior Games. to know them (your partner),” Huff said.
