Togetherness While most Crockett students are gently tucked under their bedcovers at 7:30 in the morning, Coach Peg Fair- bairn and the Crockett Cross-Country team are already out on the road logging in up to 10 miles a day training for their next meet. How many coaches do you know that actually get out there and run with their team? asked senior Scott Bucklew. The team seemed like one, big happy family lan Gibbons The team competed in a variety of meets this year in order to prepare themselves for the most important meet of the season-District. On Oct. 26 at the Dist. 26-5A Meet,the team had it's best standings in three years.The Freshman Boys team placed second led by Sam Moya, Scott Kendall, Todd Hughes, Alex Conrad,Ian Gibbons and David Williams. The Junior Varsity Boys team placed first for the second year in a row. The team was led by Isidro Rodriguez winning first place overall, Alex Villalva C2ndl, Alton Flagg C3rdl, Keith Gavia, and Craig Jordan. The Varsity girls did an outstanding job by placing third at the District meet. The girls were led by soph. Lisa Sikes, sr. Cherry Lynch, fr. Elizabeth Brown, soph. Donna Eastlik, and fr. Patty Cardinas. The most outstanding achievement was by the Varsity Boys team, which placed second at the District meet. The team was led by sr. Kevin Ard, who placed 8th overall, sr. Scott Bucklew t10thl, sr. Tom Gibbons tl2thl, sr. Arthur Huot, sr. James Erben, sr. Joe Riojas, and soph. Alex Narro. Placing second at the District meet qualified the Boys Varsity team for the Region 4 Meet at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, on Nov. 3rd. The Regional meet would not be as glorious as District since the team ecame plagued by injuries., Sr. Tom Gibbons broke his ankle the day after the District meet and several other run- ners also had to be replaced due to in- juries. At the Regional meet, the run- ners who were entered performed their personal best all season. Scott Bucklew suprisingly led the field of 200 runners for the first 800 yards and then he dropped back to the middle of the pack to finish first for the Crockett team. The gun went off and by the time I realized what was going on I was in the lead. I guess I was just excited. Kevin Ard had his problems at the Regional meet too. Well, my problems all started when I couldnit sleep well the night before. After the first mile of the race I felt really sick. On top of the regular pressures an athlete may have at the Regional meet, Ard had Band Regional Competition in Temple just shortly after the meet. At Regionals the team was led by Bucklew, soph. Isidro Rodriguez, soph. Alex Villalva, James Erben, Joe Riojas, Arthur Huot, and Kevin Ard. I believe we got the most out of what we had. That's all anybody could ask for, com- mented Tom Gibbons. -James Erben Above The Varsity Boys take off at the Regional meet.

Junior Varsity splits season with 5-5 finish, 9th stronger with 7-3 While most of the other teams in the District encountered problems with the new no pass - no play eligibility rule, Crockett's Freshman and Junior Varsity Football teams were hardly affected at all. Freshman Coach Karl Cooks stated, On the Freshman team we lost only a total of two players out of the fifty-two that started at the begining of the year. I believe that's a pretty good ratio. This year's teams were the best bunch weive ever had. They had a great attitude toward the program and they were a highly motivated hard-working group. The Freshman team easily overcame the fact that they played against one another just a year earlier in Junior High and pulled together to have an exceptionally good season record of 7-3. The Junior Varsity team also did well this year with a season record of 5-5. Next year a lot of these young athletes will be playing Varsity ffootjball and that's something positive for everyone to look forward to, commented Cooks.
