Since only two lettermen were re- turning from the previous year, many said a .500 season would be all this years Cross Country team would be capable of accomplishing. Howev- er, the boys on the team knew better. In compiling a record of 17 wins and 1 loss, the Devils took the Con- ference title and Sectional title. They came in 4th in the regionals and 12th in state competition, placing high in assorted invitationals. This perform- ance was due to the unity and total dedication of the team. Co-captains Mike Trout and Terry Rusboldt led the attack, with underclassmen, Mark Wagner, Bruce Hoffmaster, Jeff Trout, Greg Holda, and Charles Thomas all turning in good perform- ances. Mike Trout was named most valuable runner, and Terry Rusboldt most improved. Mr. Fischer must be justly proud of coaching 3 straight conference winning teams. The Red Devils have proven themselves to be Number One and will be everyoneis target next year. With five returning lettermen, they are liable to stay that way. One thing is certain. The Cross Country Team has done its share in making Elston a respected sports power. Bruce Hoffmaster and Terry Rusboldt fight to pass an Elkhart opponent. First Row: M. Trout, C. Thomas, T.
