Cheryl Fleming displays her running legs while sitting beside the team mascot Garfield. PUTTING THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD are Mary Beth Heiser and Nikki Nichols during the CAC Duel Meet. Love and friendship is what the team was made of. We ' re so successful because we didn ' t run just for ourselves but for each other, commented junior Jeanine Hilton. This made Holt a number one team. The dedication and determination led the Holt Girls ' Cross Country Team to a 7-1 record in the CAC duel meet I The only loss was to Everett in a very emotional race with Holt losing by only one point. CACs and Regionals were also great individual team races with Holt placing third at the CAC Meet and sixth at Regionals. We all worked hard this season and showed lots of determination running to the finish, said junior Wendy Leaf Leaf was the only runner who qualified for States. She placed fifth at CACs seventh at Regionals and 40th at the State Meet. It was Coach Wilbert Griffin who was behind the team all the way. Griff y helped me grow throughout the season. We learned much more than just how to win or lose, said senior Cheryl Fleming. Mr. Griffin said, The team had more enthusiasm than ever before. The togetherness of the team made a definite effect on individual performances. I was very proud of the team as a whole. When Griffin was asked if he was looking forward to coaching next year, he simply said, By all means. I just can ' t wait!

Those who survived the practices and the grades showed they could endure. Of those who toughed it out , seniors Jon Mullen and Greg Wilton managed to get most valuable A Class at the Holt Invitational I. Sophomore Bill Duling and senior Pat Whitford received most valuable in the 145 division at the Holt Invitational II. Some felt the team was weaker than last year. Next years hopefuls include sophomores Garrett Gamet and Mark Smith. The team ' s toughest competition was Eastern, but Holt held on for a winning season. Thirteen wrestlers went to CACs, and topping off the season, Whitford was crowned a State Champion.
