BUILT FOR SPEED Girls Cross Country Goes The Distance Bang! They're off! The Aragon Girls Cross Country team gave it their all this season. A winning atti- tude and competitive edge gave the team what it took to be one of the best in the PAL. Anxious faces seen in the beginning of the season were soon transformed into faces of grim determination as the girls gained confidence in themselves and their teammates. That confi- dence was reflected in their speed and technique, two factors that gave the team the winning edge. But success did not come easily. Daily practice consisted of a gruel- ing three to six mile workout, come rain or shine. But that didn't stop the girls from having fun. As the team stretched during practice or before a meet, there was always friendly chatter going on. Coach Bill Daskarolis wasn't the only one giving his team members sup- port, the girls were there for each other as well. It was hard work, commented Bridget Abbott, but that always pays off in the end, and I really had a lot of fun. Obviously that was true for the whole team, veterans and new- comers, who came out on top in the long run. You're either slowly struggling to get up that hill A A 46 Girls' Cross Country Or another hill Or charging in a mad rush to get down to where you started.
