As seniors sit in the commons, drinking cokes and munching on junk food, the unfortunate junior and sophomore athletes were stuck in the gym, participating in the off-season program. Weight-lifting, the grueling match-up of muscle vs. the iron bar, and running - in the gym, around the school, or cross country built up body, endurance, and stamina. Through all the sweat, pain, and repetition of off-season, next year's athletes continually worked hard in hopes that their efforts and work would pay off in future victories. . 1 1.
