All Girls Let This year Girls Cross-Country did not do well as past years because of a lack of runners. Many competi- tions had NXS, meaning No Score. A lack of runners comes about due to several factors. Most commonly, the team suffered many injuries throughout the year, including 2 or 3 at the same time. All injuries were minor and the runners were out for either one or two meets, but they were still costly to the team, who had only nine runners all to- gether. Most of the trouble came about one quarter of the way into the season when at the Poudre In- vitational Diane Taladay hurt her hip. From there on out it was trou- ble. At the Aurora Invitational the team only had four runners, and only two of whom were running full speed, Jojo Dressel and Melin- da Wiggett. Also during this period Cherie Swartz was out of action until the Loveland Invitational. At Smokey Hill, it was a different sto- ry the girls had a team! Kaia His- tand and foreign exchange student Iette Rasmussen ran for their first times for Poudre. At the city meet the team was in full swing, and although they took third, the team was very impres- sive. Again at the conference meet, the girls looked impressive. All nine girls lettered because of their good effort and spirit throughout the season. Even though the team had many injuries that stuck with them all season, they performed admirably. Good job Girls Cross-Country! ter! Christie Brackin fon the leftl also put her best foot forward to become this years tn performi I 4.
