Keeping The Pace Cross country is a sport that de- mands determination and dedication. No matter what the weather was, the varsity run- ners could be seen coming back to school after a five to eight mile run. What people don't realize is that we're the craziest people in the school, because we enjoy running eight miles every day, said ju- nior Doug Huth. Coach Milne, in his second year as cross country coach for Madison, was not just another physical education coach. He is a runner and ran with the varsi- ty and junior varsity. Coach Milne has high expectations for his runners and is very enthusi- astic about running. This was a very successful year with a sec- ond place finish in the league, despite having a very young team, said Coach Milne. Both varsity and junior varsity did much better this year com- pared to last year in such meets as the Mt. SAC Invitational and the Third Eastern League Meet, where they placed second in the league. The varsity went from fourth place to second place and the junior varsity went from fifth place to third place. The varsity team was made up of such runners as Jeff Herr, Eduardo Hodge, Doug Huth, Ken LaVergne, and Dan Henderson, among others. Next years' varsity team should be a really strong one with re- turning runners such as Doug Huth, Marco Torres, Dac Phan, Alex Flores, Cris Hern, and Ted Engebretson. 58 Athletics

A Lot Of Time And Effort ulic Fleming and Michelle Tellez (lash smiles of relief after the race. Athletes must devote a lot of time and effort to Cross Coun- try running in order to achieve. Girls on Madison's team were highly motivated to keep the team strong, so they put in a lot of hard training and took their roles seriously. The runners went through rig- orous workouts to prepare themselves for the meets that were ahead of them. It's fun. It gets you in shape for whatever else you want to do, said Lisa Fredericks. Beckie Levy said It's hard but it's worth it, I guess. Coach Milne said he was mean and nasty at times because that was the only way for the girls to get into shape. Coach Milne has been involved in running for 31 years and has coached the team at Madison for two years. League meets were held in the Morley Field area of Balboa Park. Invitational meets were held at Southwestern College, Mt. Carmel High, Laguna Hills High, Guajome Park in Ocean- side and Mt. San Antonio Col- lege. Despite the win. Lisa Fredericks keeps on going to the finish. Martha Peden sweats it out. Julie Fleming. Becky Levy, and Lisa Nielsen in hot competition. Becky Levy and Martha Peden strive to complete the race. l Cajon Mercedes Benz Athletics 57
