31 runners ' go the distance ' The cross country team had a very respectable season. A large number of people, 32, went out for the team. They finished the season with 31 runners still out. Mr. Don Graves, head coach, thought that this was by far the largest number of students ever participating in cross country. Mr. Graves felt that the best meet of the year was the Urbandale Classic. The number one runner of the year most of the year was senior Chris Zal- lek; however, a few times it was sophomore Bob Rice. One other out- standing runner was sophomore Jeff Howe. Mr. Graves was pleased that such a large number of students participated, 14 of them freshmen. Also, he was pleased with the improvement shown during the season. Senior Allan Shepard runs in the Newton Invi- tational. Those who were there know that it was extremly cold! Senior Chris ZaIIek: Cross country has been a lot of hard work the last four seasons, but it was also a lot of fun. It was more of a good time than hard work.

Andy Frosh come through with winning season A great season! That is how Coach Walt Kennedy described the freshman football season. This was the first time that a freshman team had placed so highly in the Metro Conference standing. Coach Kennedy felt that his play- ers gave 1 00 percent on the field and at practice. When Coach Kennedy was asked what he felt his team ' s best game was, he answered, the Dowling game. East won the game 34-6; it was the first time ever that a fresh- man team had beaten Dowling. Coach Kennedy felt that this victory gave his players more satisfaction than any other game. The freshman team ended the season with a 6-2 record, the best ever for a freshman team. Their two losses came against Hoover and Valley. This was Coach Kennedy ' s second year as head coach of the freshman team. He was assisted this year again by Mr. Mark Hurley. These two coaches did a fine job in bringing along these young men. McHugh, Kevin Burton ROW 4: Blaine Hudnall. Larry Rite. Bid Moore, Dave Osterquist. Chuck Bradley, Mike Strait. Steve Rawley.

Girls ' cross country ' best so far ' i Senior Jennifer Hultman: I thought cross country was a good experience. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed working as a team. SEASON RECORD Valley, Roosevelt, East 2nd Urbandale Classic 8th Hoover Invitational 6th Karpen Invitational 6th Nevjton 2nd Augustine 5th Urbandale 6th Ankeny nth Metro Conference meet 7th District meet nth Senior Karia Erickson cruises past an opposing runner in a cross country race. The girls ' cross country team had an outstanding season. They began the year with only three returning girls from last year, but had eight girls on the team. The four top runners were senior Jennifer Hultman, sophomore Jen- nifer Fuller, freshman Stephanie Ripley, and senior KarIa Erickson. They all registered the best times ever at East. About the season, Coach Phipps had this to say: It was probably the best girls ' cross country team ever at East. I ' ve been with the East pro- gram for 1 1 years. There has been a girls ' team for only nine of those years, so I ' ve seen all of the teams. GIRLS ' CROSS COUNTRY. ROW 1: Dawn Herman, Jill Shepard, Stephanie Ripley.
