The miles added up as the teams ran each day after school to prepare themselves for the upcoming meets. All the hard work paid off as the Hawks reached out for another championship title. Through many long, tire- some hours and extreme deter- mination. the boys team was able to place in the top ten in state, losing only two meets during the season. Heading the team, Greg Olsen. LaVoy Whit- more, Mike Childs, and Brian Jewkes together helped their team to reach a first place re- gion title once again. The girls team was again un- defeated. Melanie Pace was the all over state champion, while Kirsten Aure and LaDee Jensen were close behind. Together they made all the hard work look easy as they again took first in region and took the state championship for the sec- ond year in a row. “Coach Jensen gives us a lot of support. He's strict but does not over do it. There's some- thing about him that makes us want to do really well. Just knowing he cares does a lot for the team commented Kirsten Aure. Last year both teams placed highly at the invitationals. They were again able to hold this reputation as the boys placed in the top five at every invitational and the girls took first in all but one of theirs. Many of the athletes feel that cross country does not receive enought recognition but it was the support and confidence in each other which made the team thrive with well deserved success. Training pays off to inspire that last person to the finish line. irffisE: At the start of a race with Brigton. runners Start with style. . - The will to win lead the girls to the state championship again this year
