Six Lady Lions will do those routines.
Joanne Beck, Debbie Alston, Marcy
Levine, Lisa Ingebretsen, Jan Anthony
and, yes, Ann Carr will all be in the all
around competition. Assistant coach
Marshall Avener, however, isn’t ex
pecting any mat-burning performances
tomorrow.
‘‘Our lineup just will not be solid and
the maximum team score will be
limited,” he said. “In terms of the girls,
we are not looking for anything
astronomical. Assuming the team
performs on the average, we should
score in the area of 140.”
The reason why Avener doesn’t expect
an upgrade in performance this meet is
partly because the team isn’t healthy
yet. It’s also partly because the Lady
Lions didn’t adhere to a structured
practice schedule this week.
“This week’s practices were a lot

two weeks,” Marshall Avener said. “We
felt that the girls needed a mental and
physical rest. We didn’t get nearly as
much done, but we felt like this was
necessary.”
Beck, however, didn’t work out for
most of the week because of a jammed
back and Carr, Anthony and Alston
missed at least one practice each due to
illness and injury. Margie Foster will be
out for a few more weeks with a knee
strain and Pat Spisak and Lynn Samuels
are still sidelined with injuries. But the
Lady Lions probably won’t.need to be at
full strength to defeat Louisville. Even
