Don't Break M Stride What all does a cross-country team do anyway? A cross-country team doesn't just run they work out with weights and many other things. Coach Smith has coached for fourteen years, but only ten at Ei- senhower. He didn't have big ex- pectations for his boys' team be- cause they only had five runners. To qualify in a meet you must have five on a team. The girls' expectations were a lot higher. They had a total of nine girls. One upcoming face this year was freshman, Jenni Moore, who won fourth place in the Regionals, and Eighteenth out of 300 in Sectionals. The runners would practice ev- ery night from the middle of Au- gust until the end of October. They would work on the long distance run and short distance. The boys would run a total of three miles and girls a total of two miles. The only problems they had were injuries - the girls were pla- gued with injuries. This is one rea- son that they didn't get any farther than Regionals. The girls have a full returning team, but the boys have three re- turning runners. The graduating runners are Gerry Melzer and Ted Smith. Every team has its yearly awards that were given. The Most lm- proved runners were Shelley Tips- word, and Gerry Melzer. Most Valuable were Ted Smith andjenni Moore. The First Annual Big Mouth Awards were honored to Sophomores, Brooke Williams, and Kyle Anderson.
