Winning Winning. That described the Cross Country team to a “T” in the 1981 82 school year. Ending their season with a 11 -0 record, they became the only fall sports team to be undefeated. Mr. Gor¬ don, the team’s coach was very optimis¬ tic before the season started and was pleased with the team’s performance af¬ ter the season was over, but he still felt that the team could have done a little better in the big meets. The team met 2 of the 3 goals that Mr. Gordon had set for the team. These three goals were: 1) win most of their meets, 2) repeat as district champions and 3) place high in the re¬ gion meet. They reached their first goal as their record of 11-0 shows, but missed reaching their second by losing the dis¬ trict title to Louisa by 4 points. However they did come back to place 7th in the regional meet attaining their third goal. According to Mr. Gordon some qual¬ ities that are important for a Cross Coun¬ try runner to possess are self discipline, confidence, and mental and physical toughness. Certainly the members of the team must have had some or not all of these qualities to have such a successful season. Another success turned in by a Cross Country runner was a new record for the cross country course (17:32) by the team captain, Charies Long. Cross Country 25
