Cyclonette swim
team to meet
Jennifer Peters
Continued from Page 7A
Her statistics over the past two seasons
are truly amazing. She struck out only
twice and committed a single error this
season. She remembers that error very
vividly.
"Last year, I felt some pressure at the
end of the season when I found out about
the streaks," she said. "I got it over with
quickly this year. In a way it was a relief
because you can't expect to go forever
without striking ouL I can remember the
error because it was so stupid. It was an
easy throw to second after I fielded a ball.
I remember thinking, 'You dummy.
Why'd you throw the bali so hard?'"
Peters was a catcher and shortstop her
freshman season. When Coach Randy
Plait took over the team, he quickly con-

verted her to an outfielder. It was a switch
that has paid off many times over for both
Peters and the Cyclonettes.
Softball has provided some great
moments for Peters and her teammates.
The squad has finished third in the state the
last two seasons. The team's accomplish-
ments this year really haven't fully sunk in
yet, according to Peters.
She commented, "You look at the final
ratings in Class 2A and there's Charles
City and Boone No. 1 and No.2. We beat
both of those teams in tournaments. When
the season was over, it was rmlly an upper
because of what we had done."
The current season opened with plenty
of apprehension. The Cyclonettes were
losing four of five positions up the middle
- catcher, shortstop, pitcher and second
base. The only middle player returning
was Peters in center field. It took awhile
but the team steadily began to see they
were good enough to return to state.
"We started to realize how good we
were after we had won the Hawkeye Eight
with a 14-0 record. Beating Ames and
Boone were big games, too," she said.
Peters also excelled in three other
sports. She averaged 18.3 points for the
girls' basketball team that finished 18-2
overall and was rated among the top five all
season long. She was also one of the area's
top hurdlers in track competition.
She said of the other three sports, "I
love to hurdle. That's why I went out for
track. It was fun this year because we put
together some good relay teams, too. I
really enjoyed my senior track season the
most.
"I was happy with our basketball sea-
son. It was disappointing to lose (to Atlan-
tic) in tournaments, but you can't expect to
go to state all the time. The softball season
really helped get over that.
"Volleyball is fun because it's so dif-
ferent from the other sports. It's really fun
when you can beat teams like Atlantic or
Lewis Central because they're so tough in
every sport."
But Peters' allegiance keeps returning
to softball. She's headed for the University
of Northern Iowa this fall where she re-
ceived a scholarship for softball. She plans
on majoring in elementary education.
Peters is the first Cyclonette to win the
Harlan Newspaper Softball Player of the
Year award. Interestingly, a Cyclone base-
ball player is honored as the area's top
player this season, too.
Jennifer is the daughter of Carl and
Judy Peters of rural Harlan.
