Boys' Cross- C oun tr Builds For Future The 1981 boys' cross-country team worked uphill all season. After having their top five runners gra- duate last year and two key runners, Brian Oeltgen and Dale Pierce, injured this year, the team had a lot of rebuilding to do. The team finished with a 1-8 record on the season and 12th in the conference race. The outstanding runners for the team this year were Brian Altmayer, senior, and Howard Kagay, sophomore. The M. V.P. award went to Altmayer who was also captain of the team. Coach Larry Travis brought up 4 sophomores in hopes of preparing them for seasons to come. The best meet for the team this year was the Mattoon Invitational where they finished 19th out of 32 teams. by john De Waal Brian Altmayer moves ahead of opponent.

Hard Work Pays Off For Girls X-Country! Running to one's fullest potential was the goal of the 1981 Girls Cross Country Team. Cross Country is an outdoor sport consisting of 2 mile races. Training begins in a summer cross coun- try program and continues all through the fall sea- son. Practices average 6 to 8 miles of running a day. The team is coached by Greg Fedyski, a Math teach- er at MacArthur lr. High School. The season started off Well by winning the LV Invitational, where freshman Maureen Lynch tied Maine West's school course record. Maureen was also chosen as Most Valuable Player of the team. The team looked promising as the season began, but due to problems, only 11 girls remained in the end. They included 6 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sopho- more and 2 freshmen. Despite the small team, the Huskies pulled through with a 3-3 record. Coach Fedyski noted how he enjoyed Working with the girls this year, especially because of the team 's positive attitude. He looks forward to an am- bitious team next year. by joanne Griffin Huskie runners take the lead as the race begins. ls L Freshman Maureen Lynch finishes first for Hersey. the race.
