All eyes were fixed on the course ahead, each mind con- centrating on the run. At the sound of the gun, the group surged forward. Another cross country meet had begun. Cross country was added to Gal Baptist ' s athletic state last year to meet the seven-sport requirement of the Golden State Athletic Con- ference, but not many students were aware of the program. This season the team was better organized and more publicized, explained Atnletic Director MarK Bennedetto. Even though it was non-scholarship, the leam ran very well. The team this year was made up of relative newcomers to the sport, but that held no one back. One cross-country team member, Jamie Coston, was named Athlete of the Month for September, for his achievement. It was great to see Jamie get the honor, stated teammate Greg hjendricks, He really deserved it. Participating in eight meets, the runners made some impressive marks. According to Chris Henson, ' The Fresno Pacific meet was our best. Everyone did extremely well. Almost every runner brought home a medal. Overall, the cross-country team reached their goals this season. I had a good time running with everyone, shared Jamie Coston, We all encouraged each other to do better. We became a family.

Program Adds JV, Enjoys Good Year The 1988-89 season was one of new beginnings. There was a new team, a new philosophy, and new coaches. The men ' s JV basketball program saw its beginning this last year, giving many athletes the opportunity to play ball. Playing on the team has been good for me, shared Lance Kiser. Mi- chael Maker saw his first year as a coach after playing last year. The varsity squad was working on a new philosophy--a better running game. Jerry King said, We aimed for a more balanced attack, inst ead of relying on one or two players. We wanted to bring back the ' Running Lancers. The men made the play-offs, but were eliminated in the first round. The Lady Lancers followed up a cham- pionship season last year with a second- place finish in GSAC. This season coach Dave King celebrated his 200th win with the Ladies. Two of his wom- en, Sonja Akkerman andMaribeth Reuss, were selected to Ail-American teams. Alumna Laura Lew is helped coach this year as well. Overall, the season was successful and the outlook for next season is bright Greg Mathews elevates himself to slam the ball in for two more points.
