ump Set And Spike Got it! shouted captain Kay Offenhartz, running forward to set the ball. Co-captain Katie Holcomb's palms sent the ball rocketing over the net and Weston scored yet another point. The teamwork executed by the 23 member Weston vol- leyball team showed the girls didn't need crowds to produce a winning season with an impres- sive 8-2 record.

Half-dead, sweat-soaked boys, stumbling along the last mile of their daily nine or ten mile workout, were a familiar sight last fall, as the Boys Cross Country team ran their way through the season. When school began, the relatively lax summer workouts grew more rigorous, and included early morning speed runs Saturdays, while the rest of Weston slum- bered away. Hard work, mental endurance, and dedication set the team off on a running start under coach Ed Kaufman and co-captains Peter Beltz and John Schwartz. Unfortunately, the team lost many runners to injuries, leaving them with a fi- nal record of 4 wins, 7 losses. The Long And inding oads Those long, tiresom eight mile runs and early Saturday morning practices had finally paid off as the Girl's Cross Country team won the WCC Championship. The girls man- aged to defeat defending title- holder Bethel in addition to seven other WCC teams by tak- ing five of the fifteen places in the championship meet. Although the team had not been legally declared until ear- ly September, coach Ed Kauf- man was able to schedule many dual, tri, and quad meets. Char- acterized by a combination of talent, dedication and determi- nation, the 1979 Girls Cross Country team proved victori- ous with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses. The 1979 boys's cross country team: front rcw, Sven Selander, Ken Arciga, Andy Grahm, Peter Beltz, John Schwartz, back row, Gilbert Ramos, Mike Shriver, Steve Toby, Richard Ruthman, Mark Thompson, Wayne Zimmerman, John Sweat, David Thom- as, Bill Podbielski, and Nick Fennelli.
