Close You Win Some, There must be a reason to run three, sometimes seven, miles a day. There must be a reason to get up at 6 am on Saturdays to run a two mile race. The reason, of course, must be dedication, and the will to run. That's why the members of the Girls' Cross-Country Team devoted their time to running. We practice hard, worked hard, and we still found time to have fun, Stacy Curtis, junior, said. With the hard work and de- termination these ladies were putting into their workouts, it looked like the team was on their way to a sure victory. This year the team didn't ex- pect to finish the season like they did. They fell short in the district meet with a third place finish.

However, the varsity team did have some glory to its season. They placed first in the Flour Bluff meet. Strong leadership by senior team members helped keep spirts high throughout the sea- son. Kristen Miller provided much of the leadership by setting a fine example. As Well as her contributions to the team, she placed second in district, elev- enth in regionals, and eight- eenth in state. Whether we won or lost, the togetherness and sportsman- ship we shared always made us smile and feel that we won in our hearts, team members said. Stretching the lead Dawn Hardin, : nior, shows her determination for victory. Dawn placed twenty-sever in the district meet. iPhoto by Elizah Brammerl Freshman runner Heather Bittennan struggles on the la part of the two mile run. iPhoto by Elizabeth Brammerj Pages by:

Runner Going the Distance In the gray mist of an early morning, members of the cross country team staggered into the locker room with sleep in their eyes. They were dressed in sweat pants and track shoes not yet laced. As the coach talked to the team, the runners stared with sleepy eyes trying to compre- hend instructions on the day's course. lt was hard at first to wake-up early and run, but I got used to it, and it became a habit, Robert Pringle, senior, said. Cross Country required run- ners to train not once, but twice a day, and attend meets that were held while most people were still sleeping or sitting in front of the ELLALLEII Varsity boys - fFront rowl Ruben Ruiz, Larry Combest, ftop rowj Erik Lynch, Edward Leal, Robert Pringle, and Marky SGIICIIGZ. iPhoto by Iohn Wardl I 22 K- xf' V Boys' Cross Country TV watching Saturday morning cartoons. The season was cut short by Port LaVaca, a team that had en- tered District l5-4AAAA, and took an unexpected second place at district. When I crossed the finish line, I knew We had lost. Our chances of going to the regional meet were slim, Ruben Ruiz, senior said. The boys finished third at the district meet. But what team members remembered most about the season was not their individual performances, but the way they made each other work, and the support they gave each other. MLLE6 Cruising down hill.
