Girls Run Hard In Cross Country The girls' cross country team, coached by Mrs. Antonik and lead by team captain Mon- ique Bernauer went on to win two meets and lose three meets in their second year of com- petition. The girls once again went to divi- sionals, and took fourth place, which was a big enough win to take them to state, but at state they came up without placing. But the girls' cross country team members showed that they were strong and were a team who was capable of going to state two years in a row. Mrs. Antonik said that next year the girls' cross country team will be back to try to better the record. l.
