The team won Decatur ' s Golden Spike Invitational and the Pike Hokum- Karum. Their third-place finish in Sec- tionals made them one of five teams to advance to Regionals. There the team finished in a disappointing tenth place. Senior Scott Purdue was the only harrier to advance to the Semi-State where he placed 21st. Purdue was named All- Conference, All-Sectional and Most Val- uable Runner. Senior Leroy Williams also earned All-Conference honors. The Cit- izenship Award went to Senior David Nelson. Sophomore Brian Ringham was the Most Improved Runner. We ran a pretty good season, said Coach Fisher, There were a lot more injuries than usual, and if it wasn ' t for our depth, we would have been in trouble. Coach Fisher also voiced his doubts about next year ' s team. Right now, it ' s looking pretty scary. This year nine seniors are graduating, and we didn ' t have a full reserve or freshman team. There ' ll only be two returning lettermen, both of whom were injured and couldn ' t finish the season. We ' ll just have enough for Varsity, but they will need a lot of work to attain Varsity caliber. I ' m really counting on the freshmen.

The members of the Men ' s Cross Country team circle up for stretching and relax before their race. Stretching helps to keep muscles loosened up, and prevents them from pulling, which is a major concern during the season. mk0£ »-.. i ' -- ' z Men ' s Cross Country 79
