VlNUhfK - WK Ipen Heart Surgery recovery Meant Making Track Opener BARBANSELL Many heart patients spend t me wondering how long it will t : before they get out of the 1 >spital and return back to work. 1 at for Johnsburg High School udent John Payne, his question as whether he'd make the start his junior track season. In 1981 Payne was diagnosed to ive only a partially opening live between the main vascular rtery and the heart. This caused ayne to experience sharp chest me back into a normal room on the second day." The senior track star, who presently holds the school's records in the pole vault, long and triple jumps, along with the 400 meter relay team, says his return to the track was not always pains during his regular track work-outs. I So in December of 1981 Payne underwent open heart surgery to correct the valve, allowing the vilve to once again open fully. nPayne's physical strength from being an athlete began to have an effect on his recovery immediately following surgery. £1 was told normally open heart patients spend at least two days uiI.C.U. (Intensive Care Unit)," t^iyne explained, "but they had 'I had to work on my body muscles after the operat by lifting weights," Payne said. "I was restricted to curl weights and a minimal amount of running for quite some time. "Lata- I began doing lots of splinting to help drain the fluid which had built up in my lungs from the operation," Payne continued. "But it all worked and I was able to start nutting on muscle, which helped my performance." Approval from Payne's doctor to once again participate with the track team did not come until the Skyhawks first meet of the 1962 spring season. But Payne, determined not to miss opening day, started with his teammates even though he had not practiced any of his events prior to the meet. "I felt much bettor than I had the year before," Payne commented, "but it took me a while to get started. I couldn't even clear the bar on my first vault. I was finding I had to mentally psych myself to make up for the loss of physical practice time." However, before the meet had ended Payne managed to clear a pole vault of 11-8. Payne has come a long way throughout his last two years at Johnsburg, including being able to compete in running events, which he had been unable to do prior to the operation. A highlight in Pavne's running competition came this year when Payne was a member of the four- man team which set a new school record for the 400 meter relay. Payne gives credit to his coaches for help in his comeback. "I could not have been able to pole vault, let alone break records if it hadn't been for Mr. Beck," Payne said. "He gave me the time and encouragement to lumping styles." and John Payne successfully leaps over the bar during his last meet of the season at the McHenry County meet last week Monday. STAFF PHOTO -- MIKE LAMB finals in the pole vault event, his coach Ben Beck said Payne has been a big help to the Skyhawk team. "John's versatility has been great for us this year," said Beck. "He helped us make great strides. He was a big cog for us, and he will be missed next year." build myself up and then helped me refine my vaulting Although Payne did not quite reach his personal goal of irtici ting in the Illinois State 1 Association's trade McHenry Edges Wauconda In Regional Softball Semi BARB ANSELL JOHNSBURG -- It was the top of ,the seventh inning with the McHenry Lady Warriors girls ^softball team ahead 4-3, with the top of the Wauconda line-up at bat. Cissy Pinkstaff pitching for the Warriors surrendered a walk to the Bulldogs' Theresa Borst, putting a runner on base. Pinkstaff retired the number two batter with the help tif third baseman Patty Johnson, bringing the Warriors one out closer to a win.. WaUconda's next batter was Gina Trychta, who slammed one to McHenrys second baseman, Sarah Prust, who caught the ball. With Borst already on her way to second base, Prust quickly tossed the ball to first baseman Kris Keevil for the double play. The narrow win over Wauconda Saturday sends McHenry into the final round of the regional play-offs, where they met the Gators of Crystal Lake South Tuesday at Johnsburg for the regional > championship. That's just what Warrior coach Pat Wirtz wanted. b ... \ ' "We wanted to face Crystal Lake South one more time," said Wirtz. "We split with them in the regular season. First they edged us out 6-5 in eight innings, and the next time we met we shut them out 3-0 with a two- hit shut out." McHenry defeated Jacobs" Thur­ sday to advance into Saturday's game. The Lady Warriors raised their season record to 18-3. Wirtz said there was a bit of tension among the girls. "We just couldn't connect with any of our normally big hitters. I think if we had slammed a few out to get us going the game would not have been nearly as close." Despite the tightness of the final score, Wirtz felt his girls were always on top and in the game. "When we gave an unearned run in the first inning, we didn't let it get us down. The girls stuck in the game, playing good offensively and defensively, and backing each other up even on the plays were people were sure they had the ball." Wauconda did get on the score board first with Trychta base on a fielder's choice. With out and two on, Denise Jennings came to the plate. The umpire ruled a drop third strike allowing the runner to run to first base, but McHenry's catcher, Greta Larsen, couldn't recover the ball in time for the out, allowing a run to score. The Warriors chance to retaliate came in the second inning as a base hit by Greta Larsen put a runner oh base. Wauconda's pitcher, Jill Wasilas, walked Renee Mezzano moving Larsen into scoring position. Sarah Prust connected with a pitch, hitting to the shortstop who couldn't control the ball allowing Larsen to*, score and tying the game. McHenry broke the ice in the fourth inning when Mezzano stole third base and went onto score with an err of by Trychta off the bat of Prust. >" f The Bulldogs returned the favor to the Warriors, when a walk and a base"" hit put two on base in the sixth inning. A sacrifice fly by Lisa Brady to left ; /, field again tied the score, and loaded the bases. With two outs, Saundra . Cermak sent a line drive down' the ' third base line scoring Wendy Arthon and putting the Bulldogs ahead 3-2. However, the Warriors quickly regained the lead. An error by Wauconda's second baseman allowed Mezzano to reach <base. Mezzano then proceeded to move: her way around the bases stealing second, and ad­ vancing to third on a pass ball. Prust collected the RBI on a sacrifice ground out to first base. The Warriors picked up an in­ surance run when Michelle Kennedy dropped a single into the outfield and went to second on a stolen base.V Kennedy advanced to third on Keevil's second hit of the game on af single ijito left field. Patti Johnson brought Kennedy home on a ground out to the mound, which gave the Warriors the lead for good. Wirtz praised the efforts of his pitcher and catcher. "Cissy pitched well in a tight game, and gave up only five hits and three base on balls. Greta made two great plays from behind the plate."
