In response to the question What do you do to stay in shape during the off- season'?,, the following athletes said: There is no off-season in gymnastics. We work out year-round.

80 UNNIN - he Varsity Cross Country teams remained unstoppable forces with which to be reckoned. ln an especially tough league, the varsity boys ran to an impressive third place, while the girls completed a spotless undefeated season. Led by junior Morgan Bateman, a state qualifier in track, the boys were relatively young. Coach Keith Gilliland commented, For being a young team, they did a good job, they competed at their level. Top varsity harriers included freshman Sergio Becerril, senior David Rands, junior David Faber, sophomore Mitch Conover, and senior captains Tom Lipton and Fabian Kralian. Despite a few minor differences of opin- ion among coaches, the girls went undefeat- ed for a second consecutive year. Captains Catherine Edwards and Elizabeth Ahten joined Jeri Jamriska to lead the team. All three received first team league honors. The only four year varsity girl, Sherry Rawlins, rounded out the top four. Behind Sherry ran Molly Harper, Jennifer Cramer, Cynthia Dhatchayangkul, and Jeannie Mahan. A highlight of the season was Catherine Edwards' placement as number two girl in CV's history. Even through the pain and mental an- guish, you realize that you really can do it, summed up Jeannie Mahan. by Bruce Holler ..

BETWEEN THE LINES IS IT WORTH IT? lt hurtsf' laughed Steve Lightbourne of pain. All athletes had to deal with pain sometime or another. Injuries were something they were forced to accept. One wondered if the rewards of sports were fair compensation for the pain involved. Morgan Bateman commented, Sports have more advantages than disadvantages. Besides, pain goes away. L'It's all worth itf' added Kris Janitor. The worst possible time for injuries is the senior year. An athlete must be extra cautious when training and playing, warned Brad Adam. Kath Brown concluded with, Through the pain experienced in athletics, you learn to deal with painful experiences of life: the ups and downs of grades and relationships. You become a better person because of itg you know you'll make it through. Chill! Tom Higginbotham endures a knee injury.
