They may not have the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger but ... THE RUNNING MEN proved endurance to be more than the product of brute strength. Not many people were willing to subject themselves to running 60 miles a week for an entire three-month season. Not many people had the guts and determina- tion it took to make it on the Boy's Cross Country team. Those who did make it, how- ever, finished the season with plenty to show for their efforts besides shin splints and worn out running shoes. They finished knowing that victory and acclaim were not nearly as rewarding as the feeling of personal ac- complishment. Since there were no cheerleaders waving blue and silver pom-pons cheer- ing the team on to victory, the squad of determined young men had to thrive on personal satisfaction as their sole reward. This feeling of accomplishment seemed to be more than enough to keep the team pounding the pavement of Guada- lupe Road for the endless miles of practice. Cross Country may have been run by each individual, but they worked together in building muscles, endur- ance, and, most important- ly. lasting friendships. Design by Kathy Pollard.
