'Ili , i These ladies don't stop Straining and stretching, pulling and bending, the girls of the track team prepared for practice. Described by Lera Welcome as a killer, an average work-out con- sisted of much sweat and hard work, including four 660's. Afterward the girls were sweaty and tired, but they said the closeness and dedication they shared made it all worthwhile. We are a close team and we all encourage and sup- port each other, shared Valeria Mitchell, At the two meets the girls attended this year, the Klein Forest District meet and Regionals at San Jacinto, they won the 400 and 800 meter relays. l was praying to God we would place first in the 200 meter, but as soon as l ran I pulled my hamstring and placed second, recalled Fay House. We are all real ladies for putting our efforts forth and not quitting. Even when we hurt and could barely run, we hung in there if with nothing but a jog, said Cheryl Gobert. Although all the girls were hard-working, one member, Fay House, seemed to stand out in her excellence. Strong in the '80, 440, long jump, and shotput, Fay made it through District and Regionals, and then went on to State Competition. She not only thinks of herself, but of her fellow team- mates, and she tries her best in everything she does, smiled Cheryl Gobert. P Dawn Poole puts all her energy into the shot put.

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.
