One Foot Leads to Another Relieved and disappointedWord’s which sound so contradic- tory, yet reflected the attitude of Senior-runner Timmy Bennett. Done in by youth and inexperience, the Cross Country struggled through this season with limited success. These reasons may not ex- plain fully the 2-10 Boy’s Cross Country Record, and the Girl’s Cross Country, 0-4 Record, but to be confronted by the competition they faced during this season, the reason should merit some consideration. This Cross Country season was not a complete failure. Runners stayed very close to their competitors and ran well. They stuck with it through thick and thin. After all, the season wasn’t complete hopeless journey, they had a terrific meet against Great Mills, our Favorite Competition. They also were in first place in the St. Mary’s County Schools Competition, and sixth out of eighteen teams in SMAC. So, the Cross Country Teams will hold their heads up high and look to next season with hopes of better days. Although the season wasn't filled with victory parties, the team should be awarded with respect and pride for staying with the sport and putting out the prac- tice and effort they did. Time for a new pair of odor eaters? Steve Nelson gets prepared for a Cross Country match. What? Run another mile? Tim Bennet takes 5 in between runs to watch. f 162 Competition Cross Country
