Running For The Rams . . . The Girls Cross Country team finished the year on a happy note, taking twelfth place in the state competition. The team was able to get the medal in the state finals due to their good work in their previous meets. They took first at three of their meets, the Jeffco North and South Division Races, the Fort Morgan Invitational, and the Jefferson County Meet. The team also had a second place finish at the League Sophomore meet, and a third place finish at the Rocky Mountain Invitational meet. To prepare for the meets the athletes under went a vigorous training schedule. A typical weeks work included an average of 35-50 miles in 6 days! The week went like this, Monday included an optional run of 3-5 miles and a run of 8-12 miles in the after- noon. In the morning on Tuesday, there is a 4-6 mile run followed by stretching, aerobics, or plyometrics. Wednesday there is again a 3-5 mile optional run in the morning followed by a 6-10 mile run in the afternoon. For Thursday, the team again has a 4-6 mile run and stretching, aerobics, or plyometrics. Friday is the race followed by a warm down run. Satur- day they run 6-8 miles, and they get Sun- day off. Carol McMordie, ranked in the top 20 in the state, had this to say about the team, We did well this year but we hope to place even better next year. So you can see Green Mountain has a bright future in girls cross country. 148 Girls Cross Country Str-etch!!!!!! Barb Peterson alone in front. Shannan Bailey runs hard for the finish.

Across The Li Green Mountain Boys Cross Country team took the second place trophy in- stead of the usual first place trophy from state this year. Wait a minute. You might be saying, how can any first place tro- phy, especially a state first place trophy be usual? It can become usual if seven out of the last eight years you have won the first place trophy. It was one of those things like the sun coming up in the morn- ing, parents setting early curfews, Mr. Gilbertson giving algebra homework, that you naturally expect to happen. But even though they got second, that is still a big achievement, second out of the entire state!! All of the Green Mountain students should be genuinely proud of the team's effort. The boys had an exceptional year, taking first in seven of their eight meets, and taking third in the other one. The Qj.m,a,,,, 150 Boys Cross Country mits boy's team was made up of three squads, a seven member varsity, a seven member junior varsity, and a seven member soph- omore squad. Green lVlountain's boys team had many exceptional individuals placing very high in state. Tim Chiles, Dave Harden, and Joe Kubitschek were in the top twenty in state, with Jon Hume the fastest person in the competition. So next year if you want to watch them, go to a practice or a meet, or maybe a Homecoming football game. As you remember, it was two cross country team members, Carol lVlcMordie and Gary Mages, who ran the ceremoial torches through the stadium. So let's hear it, rams, for the boy,s cross country team. Camp what fun! Dave Harden runs for the finish. Pat Clinton concentrates during practice.
