eep n Iiackin' . . . running against the clock. With every ounce of ener- gy I pushed myself closer to- wards the finish line. Those last few feet seemed to be much longer than usual. Late nights of after school prac- tice flashed in front of my eyes as I felt the tape stretched tightly across my chest. Every spring the once abandoned track bustles with activity as the track sea- son commences. People be- gin their Iaps around the track, while others practice shot put or high jumping. IIDedication and endurance are high on the list of musts for a track member, said Trina Henrie. One also must be willing to put forth their best effort and work hard, Most end up practicing for about eight hours a week. They also must be good com- petitors. But most important- ly be willing to work as a team. During the season track members competed in several different meets, in- cluding Southern Idaho Con- ference, District, and State. I could not believe it, my dream had finally come true. I was city champ in the 440. All the long hours of agony had finally paid off.

LEADERS Leading the pack, Layne Ward and Brian Williams display great determina- tion on their way to the fin- ish line in the Boise City ln- vitational. Often times there is a tendency to measure the success of an athletic sea- son only by the wins and losses incurred. That's too bad, because usually there is alot more to it than that. Oh sure, Jason Petersen proved to be one of the premier distance runners in ldaho, and Jake Blei be- came the first sophomore in 7 years to qualify for state on his own, But his year's team members also found many new friend- ships through running. Who could help but ad- mire Pete 'lRepeat Fabbi for the way he handled getting lost in a rainstorm and running lO extra miles. And didn't Steve Rambo Rhodes show up everyone riding a tube be- hind the ski boat at camp? We all enioyed listening to the accents of our two for- eign exchange runners Paivi Talonen and Anne Thomsen. As in every sport, we had our hard luck stories. lt seemed like the girls could never all get healthy at the same time. Even as Trina Henrie placed high in every meet, she struggled to regain her champion- ship torm of last year. Team leader Dusty Pena never fully recovered from an early season sickness. Mott Gregory, Kelly Koyama, the list of iniured seemed endless . . . Through it all, our atti- tudes stayed good and we enjoyed each other's com- pany. For the sophomores and juniors there is always next year. For the seniors, you'II just have to hit the road on your own. wma DESCENDING As they end their downhill stretch, Layne Ward, Matt Gregory, And Pete Fabbi, show the unique aspects of cross country racing. 49' I Weiser Inv. 3rd S.I.C. 5Tl'l Franklin lnv.lEugenel l lth Boise City Inv. 8th Boise City Meet 3rd Twin Falls Classic 8th Class A Dist. 5th LQMQYFQ tick' f UN l'1tCLitA 1 lC I Kxfwocg IJJ JSVQLFXAQBQLWQBL iii mswi The members of the Cross Country team, Front Row- Anne Thomsen, Paivi Talonen, Juanita lyotte, Trina Henrie, Kelly Koyama, Noel Carey, Sabrina Henrie.
