Winning wasn't the goal of the Girls' Cross Country team. It was Fiym ON WINGS of soaring spirit. The members held together and became unified. The five a.m. sun saw ten energetic runners on the de- serted streets. After a five mile run, they still had a full day of school to attend. On Wednesdays, they compet- ed at the Girls' Cross Country meets. Under the supervision of Coach Rome, the team at- tended meets at various lo- cations including Papago Park, Kawanis Park, South Mountain, and Prescott. Tara Nielson, team man- ager, ran in practice, but did not compete due to health reasons. Instead, she posed as a leader. Co-captains Tri- cia Debbs and Stephanie Wail, seniors, motivated the team with their sisterly spirit. Before competing at a meet, the teammates formed a circle and dis- cussed goals, expectations. and thoughts. They finished the mental preparation with the traditional cheer of D- H-S!
