GOOD NUTRITION IMPORTANT TO ATHLETES Over the years there have been many fad diets and unusual food practices including complete fasting, eating nothing but a single food (like grapefruit), protein packing, carbohydrate loading, gargling water but not swallowing it, etc., etc. Carbohydrate Loading Carbohydrate loading is a practice used by endurance athletes to increase the length of time they can compete at peak capaeit). This practice calls for the same basic diet as mentioned earlier — milk, meat, fruitvegetable, and grain — but has a greater emphasis on carbohydrate-rich foods -— breads, cereals, pasta, fruits, and vegetables. With this diet the muscles can store more energy as carbohydrate (glycogen) to be used during competition. An excessive intake of carbohydrate from simple sugars (i.e., honev, sugar) is not encouraged since this will draw water from the extracellular fluid into the intestines and can cause cramps, diarrhea; and even dehydration. Proper Diet • A high-fat diet is not recommended for athletes prior to competition since it is digested slowly and may adversely affect performance. However, fats are important in the regular diet of athletes, says NDC, since they are concentrated sources of calories, a commodity much needed by the athlete in i heavy training. The consensus among those who have studied the effects of physical activity/ athletics on nutrition is that "the athlete’s needs in terms of nutrients are the same as those of the general'"'population.

Competition Engineering of Goshen tonight (Wednesday) in Goshen » Fourteen girls are on this year’s squad with the infield positions pretty well set according to head coach John Replogle.

Warriors dump North Wood, lose sectional

The Wawasee High School baseball squad tried to write its name in the record books but fell short of its intended goal this past week end in the Goshen sectionals held at Phend field. The Warriors won their semifinal game against North Wood Saturday morning, ousting the Panthers by a 4-2 score on a twohitter by 1979 graduate hurler Jay Kaiser. As the visiting team, the Warriors struck early, scoring in the bottom of the first inning. With one out. rightfielder Tom Troup singled and proceeded to steal second base. Kaiser followed with a double to rightcenter giving Wawasee a 1-0 lead. Wawasee added two more runs in the third before North Wood could score some runs of its own. Kaiser drew a base-on-balls and Mark Wolfe advanced him to second with a single. Coach Gary Baker ordered a double-steal which was carried out to perfection. leaving runners at second and third. Catcher Gary Vance then delivered a two-run single. Score: Wawasee 3, North Wood 0. The Panthers narrowed the gap in the fifth. North Wood shortstop Brooks Elliot singled. Tom Loucks walked and Todd Adams reached first safely on a fielder's choice when the Warriors failed to get Loucks at second. With the bases loaded. Brad Gross hit a grounder to Wolfe, who was unable to come up with the ball. Wolfe was charged with an error and Elliot scored on the play. Brian BeMiller flied out to Centerfield, Loucks scoring. Jim Sumpter also flied to Centerfield, ending the inning with the score at 3-2 Warriors. The final Warrior tally came in the seventh. Brad Keefer reached on an error by Elliot and was advanced by Troup’s second hit of the game. Kaiser then hit a sacrifice fly to right field, moving Keefer to third. After Wolfe popped up. Jeff Beezley singled, scoring Keefer for the final score Wawasee 4-2 over North Wood. Kaiser pitched a fine game, allowing only two runs on two hits, both by Elliot, while striking out five and walking five. Going the distance for North Wood and suffering the defeat, Gross surrendered four runs on eight hits. He struck out two. walked Bowling winners Local women were winners in the annual state bowling tournament held at Indianapolis last spring.

Sonja Hoover at shortstop and Teresa Black at third The starting outfield includes Jo Hepler in left. Renee Hiveh in center and Charlotte Tatman in right field Several other girls expected to see plenty of action include

four and hit one batter. The Wawasee defense offered much support to Kaiser best illustrated by centerfielder Brad Keefer s diving catch to end the game. The overall record for the Panthers dipped to 17-8 while Wawasee jumped a notch to 6-9. Meet Jimmies With Wawasee's unimpressive record, fans weren't expecting much from them against the Jimtown Jimmies who have posted a 20-4 season record. Jimtown reached the sectional finals by Goshen and Bethany Christian. And though the Jimmies did win 7-0. it was not indicative of the play by the Warriors. But it was a frustrating game for the Warriors. Despite collecting nine hits and having men on base every inning. Wawasee was continually thwarted in its attempts to score. Much credit must be given to the Jimtown defense who recorded two double plays in the third and sixth innings to end Wawasse scoring threats. Wawasee tried to jump on the scoreboard early. W’ith two outs in the first inning Kaiser singled and stole second. Losing Warrior hurler Mark Wolfe then followed with a single to center Kaiser attempted to score from second on Wolfe's hit but was thrown out by Jimmie centerfielder Mitch Gaugler. Kaiser collided with Jimtown catcher Dexter Crocker attempting to dislodge the ball from the catcher's grasp, but the attempt proved futile as Crocker held on to make the tag. In the second and fourth innings Wawasee had men on second and third, with two outs in the second and only one out in the fourth, but were again unable to score. Jimtown. on the other hand, was having its problems as Wolfe limited the Jimmies to two hits in the first four frames. But in the fifth they got untracked, scoring five times to put the game away. Keith Kinder opened the inning with a single to left. After the next two batters were retired. Brian Hyndman doubled to left scoring Kinder. Gaugler then singled, sending Hyndman across the plate and was followed by Gaugler after Scott Nine’s shot to Gymnastics program set The Lakeland Youth Center will be having a summer gymnastics program.

center. Wolfe surrendered a walk to Arden Hershberger and Crocker slammed a double to the left-centerfield fence sending home Nine and Hershberger. Kaiser was called upon to end the inning and got the next man to groundout. Kaiser could not call upon the stuff he threw earlier in the day to defeat North Wood and was touched for two runs in the sixth. A throwing error and a missed force play didn’t help matters either. Kevin Miller singled and

Road run registration advice: sign-up early

According to Wawasee High School athletic director Carl Meditch advance registration for the July 3 Road Run is far ahead of last year's pace. Last year very few entries were pre-registered and much time had to be taken prior to the run to register late comers. Only 65 persons participated in 1978. Present figures, 40 have

WHS junior varsity looking toward future

Citing his team as “the strongest, youngest junior varsity squad around,” Wawasee High School JV baseball coach Leon Vance has been quite pleased with his team’s performance thus far. Registering a 5-8 overall mark and a 1-3 Northern Lakes Conference record, this junior team has done well, starting seven or eight freshmen against upperclassmen from other competing schools. Coach Vance noted, “We have only been out of two games this year, Goshen and Plymouth. They are both overpowering teams manning only one to two freshman.” Leading batsman for the Warrior team is Mike Nordin, going eight for 19. that’s good for a .421 batting average. Not far behind is Sam Beer hitting at a .345 clip. Nordin, who plays Centerfield, has committed no errors while Beer has committed only one muff. Beer also leads the squad with 13 stolen bases while the team has accumulated 78 thefts, averaging six per contest. “In years past we haven’t been able to do a good job on the basepaths.” stated Vance. Southpaw Greg Weisser. 3-3, and rjghty Pat Speicher, 0-2, head the pitching department. But don’t let the records, especially Speicher’s fool you. Speicher led 4-0 and 8-3 before losing both decisions. New comers to the pitching corp includes Mark DeWitt and Jeff Parker, both former second game of the year he pitched a no-hitter but Jost the game 5-1 due to poor defense. Other players worthy of special attention are catcher Dan Godfrey, Jeff Nicodemus, Brian Goshert and Mark Greenwood. Concerning Godfrey, Vance says he is the man who supplies the power for the team. But Godfrey has been sidelined since May 10 when he suffered a severe spike wound in the game against Goshen.,He will be out for the remainder of the season and his batting and catching abilities will be sorely missed. If you’re looking for future stars in the coming years, you might look towards the trio of Goshert, Greenwood and Nicodemus. Coach Vance is quite high on these players and stated, “If they stick it out until their junior year they should become

registered thus far. project a larger turnout next month An added advantage if you register by Friday, June 8. is the receiving of a custom MailJournal Flotilla T-shirt. The run is being sponsored by The M-J. For those interested in the run but wanting more information, two runs, a short one of 3.3 miles and a long run of 7.9 miles, are

standouts.” That’s pretty high praise for these young ballplayers. Goshert and Greenwood handle the catching duties while Greenwood and Nicodemus play outfield and Nicodemus doing some fielding at third. With five games remaining Vance hopes to win at least three of them with tight defense and close pitching They just might get lucky and dispose of Goshen and Plymouth as well. Game-saving plays have been characteristic of the young Wa'rrior team. Ron Dickerhoof has made three outstanding plays. Jay Auer. Speicher and Darren Grisamer each with two These Warriors are up and coming and if other teams aren’t careful Wawasee High School may have another baseball championship team. REFUNDS MAYBE PICKED UP Those who signed up for the track program in the spring may pick up their refunds on Thursday. June 7. from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lakeland Youth Center.
