CROSS COUNTR Y The 1984 season was a season of rebuilding. With certain indivi- duals gone from last years team, each team had to find new leaders. Each team also had to set new goals and find new combinations that would develop them into teams that would do well in the Confer- ence and have a chance to qualify for the State meet. This years teams found their leaders and developed a combination that lead them to a sweep of the Conference and a Re- gion performance that qualified them for the State meet. This team then went on to improve their State finish from a year ago. The boys team was led all year in individual finishes by David Fuhr and Chad Even. Other members contributing to the team with strong finishes all year were Jeff Dobesh, Steve Leech, Steve Lytle, Ted Smallfield, Bob Lynn, and Bill Lynn. The boys var- sity team placed twelfth in the State also improving from their last years finish of thirteenth.
