The Cougars cross-country team started the season with one of its largest teams in the school's history, sporting twenty-two athletes in all. The girls team was the biggest surprise of all as twelve girls competed this season. The girls’ team was led by an outstanding freshmen duo of Kristi Newman and Shelly Farmer. Following this 1-2 punch was a trio of sophomores consisting of Laura Mathews, Heather Viramontes, and Marci Cababag. Rounding out the varsity squad was senior, Elaine Payne, junior, Melanie Hoskins, and freshmen Emma Boswell. One of the many outstanding perfor- mances of the girls was their second place Finish at the Ore Cal meet. These girls also placed at District. The competition at District was par- ticularly stiff for the boys’ team. Always placing at the top of the pack was sophomore Mike Buell. Sean Hendrix and James Gamer finished their season at District placing 10th and 20th.
