' || :j i i the thrill of the CROSS COl NTRY The boys ' cross ct)untry team did bet- ter this season than seasons in the past. They took the league championships with a per- fect record. In October the team went to the Mt. Sac Invitational in Ca- lifornia. Kelly Dodge placed tenth in the Varsity race. In the Sophomore division Jeff Bean placed third, Tim Tetz placed fourth, and John Wurster placed seventh. John Dodge placed fourth in the freshman division. All of these runners received medals for their efforts. The girls ' cross country team was not quite as successful. They placed second in the league cham- pionships with an eight and two record. Coach Dave Amster said, There was at least one sick run- ner during each major race. The girls team also went to the Mt. Sac Invitational but did not place high enough to receive medals. I felt obligated to run this year, said Senior Sarah Ward. She was referring to the loss of Coach Jim Frank last year. Jim Frank passed away at the end of the school year from cancer. Mr. Sullivan then took over the girls ' team and Dave Amster remained the boys ' coach. Dave Amster then became the coach of both the boys and the girls.

I ' tfor THE THRILL OF The thrill of winning and the thrill of being number one — that ' s what sports is all about. Reaching your highest goal and striving to be the best has proven to be every athlete ' s dream. Well, many of these dreams came true, and for the Senators, this season was awesome. Team spirit along with school spirit — and that was what the thrill of sports meant. Whether it was the thrill of victory or the cry of loss to the opposing team, Carson High Senators were filled with pride no matter what the situation. Fortunately, Carson High was an all-around winning team and the spirit was out- standing, both out on the field and at the pep assem- blies. Several students showed their devotion, dedication, and sportsmanship through participation in the game; while others sat in the stands and cheered — shouting Carson High was Number One. Unlike the past couple of years, the spirit throughout the school has risen which contributed toward the in- tense rival victories shown this year. All done and celebrated just for the thrill of it!!!! SO WHAT DID YOU EX- PECT???? pp. 113-129 pp. 130-160 1 112c
