"It'sreally excitingto get those scores,"said Szatek, who considers the floor her best event. Such accomplishments did not come without a great deal of sacrifice. "It's a lot of hard work," said Szatek. "I have to dedicate a lot of time to it. It doesn't take just one practice to learn one move." Thisyear,Szatek'sefforts paid off when she helped the BHS team place third in the MIAA state meet on March 3. Szatek took first place in floor, vault and all-around, once again with record-setting scores. Szatek credits gymnasticsfor providing her with greater focus and flexibility in life outside the gym. "It has definitely helped me with time management," she said. While Szatek is proud of her personal accomplishments, she feels especially blessed to be a part of the BHSteam."Ilike how gymnastics is team-oriented," she said. "With your team, you want to do well so the team can win. It's a lot of fun cheering everyone on." What Szatek appreciates most about her teammatesisthe close bond many of the girls share. "The friends you make become really close," she said. Szatek has developed her talents through the years with coach Duncan Chase. "I've been with him from the start," she said. "He's a really great coach." For his part, Chase is duly impressed with Szatek'stalents and looks forward to further greatness from her. "I'd love to seeher lead the kidsto the cham- pionship next year," he said. "Scores like hers,youjust don't hear ofthem. Sheisan outstand- ing gymnast. It's just amazing what she has accomplished in the past three years." This weekend Szatek puts her individual abilities to work as she participates in the Regionals this afternoon and tomorrow. While performing solo may wrack the nerves of lesser athletes, Szatek is look- ing forward to the event. "I've been doing it so long that I don't get as nervous," she ex- plained. "I get to show off and dance and have fun." Szatek,whoremainsinvolved in gymnasticsyear-round,isal- ready looking forward to next year. While she would love to earn the ever-elusive perfect 10, shemainlyplansto hone her skillsin the eventsin whichshe is already excellent. "I know I can definitely improve on the bars," she said. In the meantime her focus is on Regionals and then taking time to be with friends when she attends this year's prom. She is also looking at colleges and acknowledges an interest in continuing gymnastics on the college circuit. "Chapel Hill has a great program," she said. For now, Szatek is simply happy being part of her team. Gymnastics gem... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:10 Furrer explained that while many people are aware of illnesses such as cirrhosis, they are not as knowledgeable of other liver illnesses including Hepatitis C, a hidden epidemic in the US, and biliary atresia, a liver dis- ease that affects infants. "When you start fundrais- ing, you get the letters with the checks and real- , ize how many people are affected by liver disease," said Furrer. Knowing that the money she will raise will 1 ultimately help some- ' one suffering from liver disease has kept Furrer ! focused while training. "To know the money is actually going to a good cause is important ," she said. "So many people on the waiting lists die. It's sad." The mild winter on Cape Cod has been tremen- dously helpful in Furrer's training, allowing for nu- merous runs around the village, as well as on the marathon course in Bos- ton. "People have seen me all over Cotuit," she said. The only section of the race Furrer is not looking forward to is the infamous Heartbreak Hill. "I run around Cotuit ," explained Furrer. "Cotuit has hills, but they're little hills. Heartbreak Hill has three tiers. I was cursing Jeanne the whole way up." To date Furrer has raised $2,100, with her em- ployer, Bank of America, contributing enough to bring the total to $3,600. On race day April 17, Furrer will join Jeanne and friends Rachel and Danielle Mullin for what Furrer hopes will be an enjoyable day. Her hus- band , a mountain biking enthusiast, will be there to cheer her on. And then? Then Furrer plans to get a soothing massage before resuming her runs around Cotuit."I have a duathalon com- ing up, and there 's the Falmouth Road Race, too," she said. Furrer also says that folks will see her back in Boston next April proudly wearing her ALF logo. "We're definitely going to do this again with them," she said enthusiastically. "Probably next year."
