YChris Trynee concentrates on running, ffl 1 l' Sports - STFSUDE lt just jumped out in front of me, joked Eddie Myers about the tree he ran into at the McCullogh meet as he was passing a runner. Trees were not the only obstacles that Cross Coun- try runners had to face. There were hills, ditches, and mud puddles to be avoided as they ran two to over three mile courses. Endurance, stride, physical strength and self- confidence are traits that Craig Williams feels are needed to run cross-country. The girls placed well, with Beth Maluski as a record setter. Beth placed first at the Lamar and Nimitz meets and second at Conroe and District. The students backed Cross Country more this year than in the past, but still no one knows about it, stated Eddie Myers. 4J. Batiste, R. Kelly, J. Williams, J. E. Myers, and R.
