Terry Ebert and Ricky Cotto plan their strategy STRENGTH + SPEED = 1st PLACE 20 If everyone comes back and trains hard we ought to be pretty good for the next season and several individ- uals should have a shot at qualifying for the state meet! commented Coach Stephens ' This past season Coach Stephens' goal was to de- velop everyone to his or her potential. To do this every- one has to receive the proper conditioning prior to starting the season. Junior, Craig Jahnke, im- proved the most. He ran his best race at 15:45 for 3.0 miles. Freshman, Tracy Grut- zius was most improved with her best time being at 13:04 for 2.0 miles. The Most Valuable Run- ner title went to Tracy Grutzius, who had qualified for Sectionals. The title for the boys went to freshman, Rodger Ebert. Injuries placed a dark cloud over the team. With Kristen Lee, the 1 returning letter winner and Dallas Bak- er were both hurt, and it really kept them from devel- oping to their full potential, commented Coach Stephens. It was really hard on the team with Kris running 2 and Dallas out of competi- tion, Coach Stephens said. Even with all the problems of the past season. Coach Stephens looked on the bright side of things by set- ting his goals for the next year. For the girls, he hoped to have all the girls back and increase the number of girls out for the team to IQ- 12. He also hoped to have the team qualify for section- als. For the boys, his plans were much the same. He hoped to have all the boys back and have the team qualify for sectionals. He also hoped to have individuals on both the girls and boys team to qualify for state. — Dallas Baker
