Excitement and Spirit Run High Cross Country Runners Motivated With Desire Most people imagine having fun as spending time with their friends at the mall a movie or party. But a certain group of girls found it very rewarding to come before and after school for a workout of long distance running and weight lifting. With the attitude that winning is do- ing your best, the girls cross country team wasn't afraid of hard work. This year, the girls pulled themselves up to the ranking of tenth in the state, compared to last year's fif- teenth. They enthusiastically accepted an invitation to com- pete in the Tempe Invitational, a meet in which only top teams participate. In the Prescott Invi- tational, the girls finished a strong fifth, an exceptional ac- complishment for early in the season. The girls on the cross country team competed not only as in- dividuals, but also as a team. All the runners helped each other ... like one big happy family, said freshman, Lynn Brophy. Obviously, all of the stress and hard work, along with the con- tribution of every individual was all worth it. Wendy Sievers put it like this, ... A moment of pain equals a lifetime of memories.

Start Fast and Finish Strong Cross Country-Winners on The Track and in Life Cross country was the epitome of loneliness h high school sports. Its popularity was minimal and there were no cheerleaders with blue and gray pom pons urging the team onto victory. Cross country runners are one tough breed of person who compete with little or no spectators, on courses usually out and away from everything ... with only the re- ward of self accomplishment and self fulfilment, stated Coach Mel Foos. For the 28 members of the boys cross country team, that re- ward seemed to be more than enough. With the experience and en- couragement of Coach Foos, the team earned a record of 8-1 in the 1984-85 season. Major ac- compishments included the de- feat of Mountain View, placing fourth in the Prescott Invitational, and placing tenth in the Tempe Invitational, which is only open to the top twenty teams in the state. Cross country may be run by in- dividuals, but they think as a team. This year's team emphasized the importance of unity and camara- derie as much as running. While each runner was the essence of determination and devotion, it was the love of running that char- acterized the team. Above all, a good cross country runner must love to run! said senior Luke Keller. Design by Patrick Harvan. Photos by Kim Robinson.
