YOUNG WOMEN SPORTS
Mrs. Hartigan
started by taking questions. In response
to a question about playing piano, she took piano lessons from 4th
until 11th grade. Only practiced before lessons.
In basketball last year Treynor
won the conference championship. The
second round of tournament was the best they played for the year, but IKM was
ready for them.
Track season was great. The girls received their first track
banner. They had done well several years
ago and qualified for a banner in track, but at that time the banners had to be
purchased and it was expensive to buy one.
In volleyball the girls beat
some 4A schools. Treynor was the
smallest school in 2A. It was a little
different in the State Tournament, because Treynor had never met any of those
teams before.
In basketball the team is doing
well. The conference is not as good as
in past years. She was surprised at how
well the Treynor press worked last night, December 15.
Speaking of the Booster Club,
Randy Donnahue and Gail Hartigan started it several
years ago. They set it up so every club
gets an allocation from the Booster Club.
Some sports get more and some less.
The total budget is $25,000-$30,000.
Football gets about $2000 and track and cheerleading get about
$600. There is a sports representative
for every sport. Everything is signed
off by the sports representative and the Athletic Director to prevent
duplication. The money has been used to
pay half the price of new
basketball uniforms, hurdles for track, and a shootway
for basketball.
The booster club raises money
on five projects each year. They do not
really have meetings. Each class from 8th
grade through high school is in charge of one fundraising project. For example, the juniors are in charge of the
adult volleyball tournaments. The
Sophmores run the basketball concession stand with the Music Boosters. The freshmen run a children's wrestling
tournament. The 8th grade
runs the kickoff supper in the fall.
Money also comes from clothing sales.
Mrs. Hartigan
teaches three sections of Pre-Algebra, General Math, and Algebra I.
