Debbie Maass, Renee Boucher and Michelle Bush pull out in front at Districts. GIRLS? CRGSS CUU TRY Girls run a victorious season The girls Cross Country team finished third overall in state competition. Even though they did very well at state, it didn't happen with out a lot of work. Mr. Sheppard in regard to the girls pro- gress said Everyone improved since the beginning of the season. I was really pleased with their effort they put fourth. In addition to taking third at state, the team had two individuals who ranked in the top seven. Cindy Craig, and Debbie Maas took third, and sev- enth respectively. This placement not only qualified them all for All-Confer- ence, but for All-State as well. With all the hard work the girls put in, it doesn't seem like this sport would be any fun. To the team, however, itis total- ly different. I think the main reason I run is to have fun , said julie Plummer. The freshmen runners this season of- fered some promising talent for the next three years. Two of these runners even lettered, showing they will certainly be a formidable force to deal with in the fu- ture. As for next year, Mr. Sheppard pre- ferred not to speculate on the team's chances. He didn't want to commit the team to excellence, and then feel pres- sured if the season didn't work out. De- spite the slight pessimism, the facts point to an even stronger season, and possibly even a State winning team next year. The only thing to do now is to wait and see. 72 Cross Country Alisa Hines maintains her confidence

A WINN N Both Teams Go Undefeated! A new state champion banner was added to the gymnasium this year. The banner came from the varsity state champions. Through the rain weather we had both soc- cer teams reigned supreme and stayed on top. Both soccer teams went undefeated and took lst place titles. Varsity taking state and junior Varsity taking district and league. The proud coaches were Dennis Hastings and Troy Michaels. This is Mr. Michaels first year as a coach. The junior Varsity went undefeated and repeated as junior Varsity champions with a record of 12-0. The junior varsity was led by Andy Sternes, Michael Chaffee, and Kirk games against Arvada West and Alameda. Then there was a slaughter and that was against Golden. The place was Lakewood Memorial at seven p.m., the place where the junior varsity championship went down. It was the Ragin Rams against the Arvada West Wildcats. When asked, what was one game you thought you might not have won, Chris Connelly replied, Arvada West with only ten players. That is something they will remember considering that is who they beat for the championship. When asking Michael Chaffee, how do you think the games were won, he replied, We won them with teamwork and excep- Hanson. The .IV team outscored their oppo- nents 49-10.
