Ctvsafgu nirv 'Tl So Close But, Yet So Far Hard workout, self-discipline and the reputation of being state champs has helped a lot of the runners push themselves, is what David Massicott, senior, commented about the boys' var- sity cross country team. At the district meet held at Baytown Sterling the team placed second, therefore qualifying' for regional competition. The team placed fourth at the regional meet coming within three places of going to state. Over the summer the average mileage put in by each runner was a minimum of 50-60 miles per week. The team experienced ad- justing to a new coach as well as new members. Mike McKinney became the new cross country coach after former coach, John Bryan left to coach at La Porte High School. We didn't have the quality of last year's team because there were only a few strong runners. It was a young team, and that's what pulled us back a little, Massicott said. g Pete Ramos, senior, and llllassicott served as team cap- tains. Their duties were to lead the other members through drills and workouts. The team's best meets were at the Dobie Invitational and Clear Lake where they placed first. They placed second at Aldine, Aldine Eisenhower, and at the district meet. They did a good job of rebuilding and carrying on the program, McKinney reflected about the season. vid Massicott, Pete Ramos, Todd Franke, Tony Serna, Larry Wilson, Smola, and James Mottu take off at the starting line of the Conroe ullough Relays.
