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

RYIMG, TIMES FOR HOOPSTERS for the varsity basketball team early in De cember with sev- eral very close wins and. unfor- tunately. losses. The season started off on the road with suc- cessful results: our Hawks cap- tured first place at the Elko Tournament with fairly little competition. Upon their return home from their fabulous three day tour of Elko, Nevada, the guys lost their first game: a four point game, to Jordan. The Hawks then proceeded to trample Sky View by one point. Our second loss was to Provo by twelve points—if you’re going to lose, there is not much sense in drag- gin' it out. But the Hawks came soaring back a week later dur- ing the last pre-season game to destroy Mountain Crest by nearly doubling the Mustang’s score. At the end of the pre- season play, our team had a record of two and two. So much for the pre-sea- son—the regular season start- ed off with a loss to the surpris- ing West Jordan Jaguars. No one expected the Jaguars to be so tough because they were a fairly short team. The Hawks came into their next game look- ing for a win; and, as usual the Kearns Cougars obliged. The next game attracted a very small crowd at Taylorsville, but the Hawks gave those who came a good show. The team played their best team game of the season against the Warriors and it paid off with a thirteen- point victory over Taylorsville.
