Captain and MVP Neda Kalhori The Women's Cross-Country Team did not have a winning season, but all the runners' personal records improved a great deal. The women's team started with six members. But due to a back injury, the team lost Kim Wilson, who was a promising runner. However, Kim stayed with the team as manager. Because of the smallness of the team, we worked much harder and were supported by Coach White and Coach Sargent. As expected from her previous performances, Neda Kalhori ran consistently well. Being the team captain, she always encouraged the girls to run their best. Another exceptional runner was Danielle Schwartz. She started the season near the end of the pack, but by the end of the races she was placing well against some excellent teams. The Women's Cross-Country Team looks forward to coming years with Danielle. The future looks bright for Women's Cross-Country. With .. 4.4 .

GRGSS CDU TRY Unity Pulls .J 5 J X Q1 J . o A I A 1 1 l Coach White and Captain Benson The 1979 Cross Country Team had a rather unusual season. The team tried very hard during prac- tices and meets, but lacked the necessary element for a winning season. If just the amount of effort a team put into the race decided the Team Through winner, this year's cross country team might have won every meet. The team's performance will not be remembered by the final record, but rather the hard work and improvements in running made by the team members. Losing every meet was tough for the team, but due to the coaches' enthusiasm, the team retained its unity. Many of the team members broke personal records. The 1979 Cross Country Team was lead by captain loe Benson, who was the first Governor to cross the finish line in every meet. Doug Leathem also provided strength for the team, finishing second for the team in most races. Mark Woodbury returned to the team for his second year, and he too proved to be an asset. Newcomers who helped the team were Phil Parry, Chilis Ginsburg, Dave Ryan, ,L M.V.P. loe Benson Ben Frost, Dave Critics, and Bob DeWitt. The team was young this year so with more coaching and experience it should mature into a successful team. . . . . ' . hite A. Frederick. A First Row: B. DeWitt, D. Critics, D. Ryan, I. Benson, D.
