 It's what you make it. (Steve Zachary. 74) It's really hard running up those lulls. (Mark Melton, 77) It's fun but hard work. (David Zachary, '76) The BHS Cross Country team was seen in early fall jogging along at a steady clip preparing for their Cross Country races, which consists of two miles. With ten boys out, Coach Randy Woelk was able to enter a full team in the meets, something that he was not able to do the previous year. With only one returning letterman, Steve Zachary, the team was an inexperienced one but showed proof of their hard work by finishing fifth in the league meet. Steve Zachary, Gary Smith, Joey Cicanek, and David Zachary were the four boys that met the requirements to earn a letter. Coach Woelk reflects upon the season by saying, The Cross Country team had a full team in all the meets this year. Those Beloit runners that went to the league and regional meets placed well. Melton paces himself at Beloit meet. Beloit team gets a lead early in the race

 We had a ball, tennis ball that is.” (Jeri James, 75) We had a ball, tennis ball that is. (Jeri James, '75). L. to R.; Back Row- Melissa Arnold, Marlene Heidrick, Sylvia Ludwig, Angela Guipre, Front Row- Michelle Guipre, Debbie Huggins, Jeri James, Delores Deets. We improved a lot compared to last year. (Bonnie Heiman, '76) I think it's fun and more people should go out for it. (Debbie Higgins, '77) Billie Jean Bean , as the tennis squad called their coach, led the second girls tennis team to an exciting season. Ten girls made up the team and sported new orange knit outfits. The season saw some close matches and great improvement was shown over the previous year. The netters played Ellsworth twice, losing 4-5 and 2-7; Chapman twice, losing 3-6 and winning 9-0; Concordia, winning 9-6; and Plainville, losing 2-7. No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams traveled to the Regional tourney at Russell. S. Ludwig and A. Guipre got a bye their first round but lost their second round. C. Olmstead and D. Deets won their first round but lost their second. Coach Sharon Bean comments on the season by saying, We've come a long way in just two years-it seemed like the first year all we could do is get shut out 0-8. But things looked better for us this year thanks to a 'little more experience' and a fine, enthusiastic group of girls who practiced hard- sometimes I think they thought they were at football practice. Sylvia serves to opponents at Regionals. Coach Sharon Bean
