Low Turnout Surprising Results Early on the morning of August 13, nineteen anxious runners anticipated membership on the 1984 cross-coun- try running team. Boy ' s Varsity Coach David Morse com- mented, The turnout for this year ' s team was in lower numbers than we had anticipated, partly because some of last year ' s lettermen didn ' t return this season. This was unfortunate, but the team ' s spirit was surprisingly good, considering the low numbers that turned out. To prepare for their first meet, the group ran an ex- hausting 20 miles per week. The conditioning also consist- ed of group running, or pack running, which tapered down to medium sprints. Receiving the Most Valuable Player award was Shane Ryan. The acquired distinction was presented to him be- cause of his undying endurance. Coach Morse awarded William Lane, Hank Haertel, Randy Bowker, and Stacy Belmudes with the coveted award of Most Improved Play- ers. Some of the criteria for being a future cross-country runner include being able to run 9 miles per week, and being in good physical, as well as mental condition. In Region IV action, the Varsity runners placed fifth out of six teams.
