Runners catch three titles Even the new Empire League competition, which was supposed to be much harder than Orange League competition, couldn't stop the Cross Country teams from capturing three all league titles, one second and one fourth place. I think we had an overall good season. Many people are missing the chance to get into our athletic program or anybody else's, said Coach Al Britt. Cross Country has been plagued with a low turnout of runners. We went to a training camp in Mammoth and I think that brought everybody closer together, said senior Debbie Arthur. I think this has been our best season ever, said Todd Kridle. im ,M , BUS 'Nw-B., 1. Coach Al Britt and Debbie Arthur watch the others finish the race.

Without Tom's consistency and poise, this team could DOI have done what it did, stated Head Coach Mike Moore. Leineberg attributed much of his success to his fellow teammates. Without them I would have never had a chance to do what I did. I especially appreciate the effort that Paul Moralez gave, stated Leineberg.
