Setting the Pace lt was a really fun year! We all worked as a team and tried hard. -Adam Nielson Bang! And they're off! The finely muscled legs spring to action. The arms pump in perfect rhythm with the legs. Concentrating on speed and accuracy, the boys' cross country team race their way toward victory. The team's awesome performance during every meet led to one of the most successful cross country seasons Agoura High has ever had. Both boys' IV and Varsity teams earned the title of Frontier League Champions. For boys' IV, this was the climax of a terrific season. According to Beau Town- send, There is no better way to end a season than winning league finals and we won big! Future goals for this team are to improve times and to continue working together in the races. After taking league finals, boys' Varsity went on to CIF. In the CIF prelims, their determination and patience paid off as they won their race and qualified for CIF finals. Suffering their only defeat, they lost the CIF title by only two points. However, most members of the team kept positive attitudes, considering they had nev- er expected to make it that far. Derek Kite expressed the team's optimism: We will come back and win next year. Both the Varsity and IV teams worked closely together as a unit. Also, most runners were able to improve their times, and there were outstanding performances by individual members of the team. According to both IV and Varsity teams, the most hardworking member was Peter Oviatt. He was described as an extremely hard worker, displaying his best effort and devotion in every race and practice. Bryan Dameworth, selected as the most outstanding runner on the team, was Agoura's 41 runner and, in nearly every race, took first place. He was greatly admired for his superb talent and phenom- enal times. Qualifying for state after CIF finals, Dameworth accomplished the astonishing feat of com- ing in first place in the state championships. Not only did Dameworth win state, but he also earned CIF run- ner of the year. Overall, the boys' cross country teams had outstanding seasons. However, the athletes are not the only ones who deserve credit. Coach Bill Duley provided the boys with vital workouts and mentally prepared the team. And with the efforts of both athletes and coach, the team excelled throughout the season. -Grace Asuncion Standing proud here are the IV cross country team. Top row: I. Ingalls, C. Costa, M.
