Almost like the Grecian Olympians the Junior Boys Track team flew past every meet with flying col- ors. The District meet held in Danville proved to be no obstacle. The Junior Boys chalked up a total of 210 points, not to mention breaking five records. Cody Smith received the high point award with 45 points. Smith broke records in the 220 and the 100 sprints. Smith also received third in the long jump. The Junior Kittens also broke record times in the 440, 880, and mile relays. They pulled to- gether as a team, and all the individual members worked hard to help add points. Joel McDonald placed first in the pole vault with a jump of 11'. All first four places were taken in the high jump: Dustin Blankenship, first; Cliff McAnally, second; Charles Lindley, third; and Jonathan Da- vis, fourth. First through third was also stolen in the long jump by Dean Swint, first (18'6 ); Jona- than Davis, second; and Cody Smith, third. First, second, and third places in distance just insured the Junior Boys win. Jonathan Da- vis placed first in the 880 run with Mark Bradford right behind him placing third. Paul Crenshaw tackled the grueling mile run and placed second. The Junior Boys defi- nitely captured the dis- trict crown in a blaze of glory. By Tresa Adair Dustin Blankenship's second leg in the 880 relay adds distance ahead of his opponents that helped his team to win with a record breaking time. Photo by Trena Adair

Photo by Trena Adair Sometimes painful sacrifices we make ... and one and two, now stretch and pull ... You watch with disgust as Jane Fonda and her 22-inch waist hop around on the TV screen with no effort at all. You, on the other hand, collapse in agony on the living room floor after only six situps. For many students, aero- bics is a healthy, yet often painful way to start or end their day. Some students do aerobics to keep in shape only; not to get any personal enjoyment out of it. Mieke Kauffman said. When I do aerobics, 1 just have to grit my teeth and keep telling myself it's good for me! But there are actually the rare few who take pleasure in this form of keeping in shape. Kim Erlinger said, I really enjoy aerobics be- cause to me, it's a good way to relax. Plus, it makes me feel good knowing I can do something good for my- self. Aerobics is good not only for keeping healthy and limber, it's a good way to shed those unwanted pounds. And it's not for students only. Many teach- ers participate in this form of exercise, too. Mrs. Hampton laughs, 1 used to try to exercise my fat away, but somehow it kept coming back and I couldn't get rid of it. Anyway, now I just try to 'firm' it up! What about other forms of exercise? I don't do aer- obics, but 1 run and lift with commando Doug Scheel behind me all the way, admits Rob George. As you can see, not every- one stays in shape com- pletely on his own will! After the painful little living room floor episode, you gradually recover and limp your way into the kitchen. There it is on the counter. A huge piece of chocolate cake, filled with billions of calories. You think for a moment, Now what would good ole Jane do? Then, ever so quietly you tiptoe across the kitch- en floor. and one and two, now lift and BITE!

We had highs and lows just like last year, but we weren't State Champions, or Conference Champions. I guess it was just a hard act to follow, said Rob George. Team members instantly re- called two disappointments, tying Vi- lonia at Homecoming and losing to Ozark twice. The highlight was the Paris game — a win there would send us to the play- offs; a loss would send us deer hunting as Coach Scheel put it. After beating Paris, the Cats faced Conference cham- pions Ozark, again. Coach Scheel had worked all week to keep the revenge factor down, but both teams were out for blood, said Frank Johnson. Although there were several scoring threats (plays coming off Scott Webb's crack blocks on Jerome Johnson and a drive of hard-hitting Tony Travis runs totalling 50 yards), the first three quar- ters were defense. Late in the fourth quarter, Boone- ville's defense broke down, and the Ozark quarterback faked a pitch to the right, bootlegged around the left end, and floated 80 yards down the side line for a touchdown. The point after at- tempt failed on a fumbled snap. The kicker tried to pick up the ball, but he was drilled in the back by Edward Brothers. As the clock ticked off the final sec- onds, tears flowed as team members and fans realized the end of the dream to return to War Memorial. On the sol- emn ride home, each tear-streaked face reflected the nightmare of Ozark's quarterback racing into the end zone. Jimmy Tanner commented, Now we know how Junction City must have felt.
