Women's Intramurals Enjoy An Eventful Year 1984 marked the fourth year in a row that a new intercollegiate sports emerged from the women's intramural program. With the start of the 1985 spring season Harding was going to have a women's track team. Many of the athletes for the team would come from the women's intramural program. As in the previous years the intramural program was the training grounds for the new intercollegiate sports. Even though the women 's intramural program lost some of its best women to the new track and field team the program was as strong as ever. Many girls achieved high goals on the in- . tramural level. Those that won intramural jackets were Lisa Barnett, Tami Kerr, Tracy Yates, Pam Tiner , Kim Clark , Karen Kemp, Teresa Sechler, Karen Garrett, Lisa Reed, Pam Watson and Susie Sweeney. Sechler was the High Point Woman and Garrett won Individual Sportsmanship Award. Club Sportsmanship Award went to the women of Omega Phi. In the spring of 1984 , Tri Sigma Delta won large "A", "B" and "e" team championships in basketball. Zeta Rho won the 162 Women's Intramurals small "A" trophy. As the temperature rose, so did hopes of the women's clubs that thought they would win spring softball. After all the games were played the eventual winners were Tri Kappa large "A" and "B" and Omega Phi in the small club "A" divisions. Before the women went home for summer vaction they all got together for two one time events; swimming and track. Tri Kappa won the track and field trophy with I like to play because it helps me get rid of bottled-up energy and frustration even though it does get rough out there every once and awhile. - Lesa Barnett Tri Sigs winning the swimming trophy. The return of school, marked the beginning of fall softba ll. Tri Sigs won large "A" and Zeta Rho won small "A". In the "B" division a fairly new club, Sigma Phi Mu , won their first championship ever. When softba ll was complete it was time to move to the football field. the weather did evervthina but coooerate. The "Arkansas Monsoon Season" hit just as the women were to play flag football. Trying to squeeze their games in between the rain storms and men's clubs games was so hard that the women started volleyball so no time would be lost waiting to play. So the girls were then playing two different sports at one time. Finally the women of Ka Re Ta playing in the "1984 Mud Bowl" won the football championship. Then volleyball began again. Tri Sigs took the large "A" championship with Phi Delta capturing the small "A" trophy. Shantih won "B" with the women of Kirei and Ka Re Ta taking championships in "e" and "D" teams respectively. The completion of volleyball marked the end of women 's intramurals for another year. The women had endured the rain and mud and played two sports at once. Times were difficult at moments but women preserved and their lives were greatly strengthened for having participated in the program. 4~ Three of a Kind.
