Off And Running Do you think the coach will give us a killer workout today? These were the words heard almost everyday by the members of the cross-country team. The sport of cross country was one of endur- ance. There were times when the team just did not want to practice but the wor- kouts paid off when winners were an- nounced at meets or individual times were broken. When asked about the team spirit and success, sophomore team member Shelly Austgen stated, I think we had a good season because of the many seniors on the team. The team lost some great sen- iors. In the eyes of senior cross country team member Diana DaGrosa this year ' s team did so well because they had the most spirited team ever. This year ' s team was led by a captain of a different breed, senior Marolyn Rhoades. Marolyn was truly a Pied Piper and the team unana- mously agreed that she was the best cap- tain any of them had ever known. She stuck with them through everything and was always there to listen and provide companionship. These qualities are im- portant for a leader in a sport such as cross country. The Cross-Country team was coached by Mr. Harry Howell Jr. who admitted he was encouraged to run in high school, by his dad. It ' s hard not to get involved when it runs in the family, he stated. Mr. Howell also commented that coaching has it ' s highs and lows but I wouldn ' t trade the girls for anyone else. Mr. Howell concluded by praising his team and commenting that they were ap- preciated more at a Catholic school be- cause of the reputation that Catholic schools have for cross country. So, New- man is a school that appreciated its cross country team — one that was successful in bringing together team mates as well as friends. 262 Sports

King Of The Hill As King ' O the Hill, Cardinal Newman Varsity Football truly lived up to its top billing during the 1981 Season. Through the years, Newman has built a tradition of winning, unparelleled in this area. One of the main reasons for this tradition is a coach who is also unparalled in this area, Coach Sam Budnyk. Coach Budnyk is a graduate athlete from the University of Notre Dame and has been Newman ' s football coach for twenty years. Under his guidance from the very beginning, Newman has built a reputation as one of the powerhouse teams in South Florida. During these years Coach Budnyk has tutored many good high school football players into ex- cellent college prospects. The most re- cent being Jon Moyle who is now with the University of Florida and Tony Walker wh o is at South Carolina.
