Four runners: Randy, Andy, Jay, and Rich, returned from last year's seven and gave the team the required experience. The other twelve candidates eagerly filled out the team. The entire squad ran over 250 miles each during the season in practice. The year was one of constant improvement, beginning with an eighth place in the New Ulm Invitational and ending with a fifth place in the Region. In between, the Lancers captured the Little Sioux Conference championship and two other first place finishes. In district, the Lancers placed second to Verdi. R.O. f 26

Football demands self-discipline, self-confidence, highly developed skills, and loyalty to ones-self, teammates and coaches. These in- dividual qualities, when assembled into a team structure, will produce a group of players dedicated to doing their best for the collective better- ment of their team. Coach Dondelinger Why do men race against each other? Nobody can tell you why. It seems to be an instinctive part of the human temperament. In a way, the sport of track or cross country is like an iceberg. Competition is the part that everyone sees, while training is the much larger part below the sur- face. For every mile you will run in competition, you will probably run hundreds in training. Coach Bredeson In the game of basketball, morale, skill, confidence, and the will to win are vitally important. Team in- telligence and the ability to take advantage of game opportunities are necessary for championship play. In summary, all of basketball starts with, endures with, and ends with the player. Coach Martinson The challenge of individual com- petition, development of a life-long recreation skill, and enjoyment of the outdoors leads young people to play golf. Coach Larson Wrestling is the oldest and most natural of all sports. A successful wrestler must have a competitive nature and a dedication to the sport. He must develop his own style and an attack which includes balance, strength, and quickness. Coach Gingles 25
