Lady Warriors down Northridge —
Three firsts for Gunn
By TOM CHARLES Sports Editor If the Wawasee girls’ track program is a little down this.year, it certainly did not show up during an 80-29 romp over Northridge on on April 11. Led by sophomore Jeanine Gunn, who tallied three firsts and one second, the Lady Warriors had little trouble in downing their Middlebury foes. Gunn won the high jump with a leap of 5-0, the long jump with a distance of 16-1 and was part of the winning 400-meter relay team. “I was really pleased with Jeanine’s performance,” said coach Barb Brouwer "Her leap in the high jump was good considering that it is early in the season and it was windy.” Junior Sandy Payne won.both the 100-meter and 300-meter hurdle events. Her time of 51 9 in the lows was nearly 2‘ 2 seconds faster than her previous best this year She was alsj/a member of the 400-meter rela&squad According to Brouwer, sophomore Patty Routson turned in a "good time" in winning the 800 meters Her 240 5 clocking was the best by a Lady Warrior so far this year. Senior cross country standout Carla Clouse captured the 1600 meters in 5:53, an improvement of 10 seconds over her previous

"All campers, regardless of what position they play, receive instruction at all positions We do a lot of hitting, fielding and base running as well.”
Feldman to continue career at Michigan
Triton's Lorea Feldman, the best girls' basketball player to ever come out of northern Indiana. signed a national letter of intent to attend the Univeristy of Michigan on April 12. Feldman was actively recruited by eight Big Ten schools and nearly 65 NCAA Division I and II colleges. During her four-year career, Feldman averaged 23 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3 assists and 4.1 blocked shots per contest. She scored a school record 46 points against Tippecanoe Valley in 1983 and set a state girls’ sectional record by scoring 42 points against Tippecanoe Valley in the 1984 Warsaw Sectional. She averaged 28.2 points per contest as a senior. In addition to her oustanding individual statistics. Feldman was an extremly durable player. Over the span of her high school career, she played in 270 out of a possible 272 quarters. During her junior and senior seasons she was on the floor in every quarter. “In my 15 years as a basketball coach, I have never seen a player of her caliber.” said Wattenbarger. “She can handle the ball exceptionally well, she blocks shots, plays good defense, and is an offensive machine that knows more ways to get the ball in the basket than any other player I have seen.” Feldman’s future coach at Michigan is just as enthusiastic about her abilities. “Having seen over 100 fine athletes across the country and in the state of In-
outing at Westview. Sheila Kleinrichert and Ann Vitaniemi completed a Wawasee sweep in that event. “Carla has improved a lot from last year,” noted Brouwer. “Her form is right on track, and she is just where we hoped she would be at this point.” Wawasee dopiinated the field events, winning all but the discuss. Aside from Gunn’s double in the high jump and long jump, junior Christy Speicher finished first in the shot put. Her winning toss was 33-1. Aches and Pains "We had a lot of hurt and sore runners after the meet because we are not in great shape,” noted Brouwer. "A lot of the kids were hurt by taking a week off for spring break." "We haven't really had a good chance to run since our last meet.” she added in refernece to Thursday’s home triangular with Bremen and Concord. “W'e need some warm sunny weather so that we can get into a consistent practice schedule." Thursday’s home meet, provided the weather cooperates enough for it to be run, is the first NLC meet of the year Concord is strong this season and will give the Lady Warriors a good indication of where they stand in the conference
Talented Staff The camp has been in operation for 15 years, the past seven at Manchester College in North Manchester. Beardslee has gathered a talented staff of instructors with a long list of baseball credentials. Among the instructors are former Detroit Tigers’ outfielder Charley Maxwell. DeKalb High School Coach Bill Jones, Western Michigan University Coach Fred Decker and former minor leaguer Donald Presser Maxwell was an outstanding talent during his eight-year career with the Tigers. He was selected to the American League All-Star team in 1956 and 1957 In 1959 he hit 31 homers, the most ever by a Tiger left-hander. Jones was selected as the 1981 National High School Coach of the Year He has recorded over 775 wins as a high school coach in addition to the 1980 state championship. Good Facilities In addition to the impressive staff, Beardslee notes that the facilities at Manchester College are top quality. Campers who do not commute will be housed two to a room in campus residence halls and will eat in the college cafeteria The camp makes use of college baseball fields, locker room facilities and indoor facilities in case of rain “Manchester has excellent facilities,” commented Beardslee. "We are really pleased to have the camp there.”
diana, Lorea is one of the finest players anywhere,” said Soluk. ‘‘She is a great perimeter shooter, with oustanding leaping ability. At six foot she handles the ball like a point guard.”
