Teams Pull Turn Around What makes a team better than the year before? More talent, better coaching, or better attitudes? Positive attitudes were the key to success. As Chris Johnson stated, Last year ' s team didn ' t really care, but we really wanted to have a winning season. Early in the season, many of the players gained valuable experience from moving up and down between varsity and JV. This hindered the team late in the season as the best members of the team were kept on varsity permanently. The loss of the players led to the JV ' s losing four of the last five games. Finishing the season with eight wins and one loss, the freshman team also made an improvement over last year. Tony Hernandez summed it up, We played together as a team. We also played with a winning attitude. Both JV and freshmen, with their winning attitudes and their team efforts, had a turn-around season.

Intra Competition Aids Team For many of the members of the cross country team, the majority of the competition was not just against other schools, it was against other team members. Since most of the runners were generally close, there was a constant struggle among teammates to keep their place on the team. This competition proved to be to the advantage of the team. There was a lot of competition (friendly) between the team members, and that helped us greatly because it made everyone try harder, stated Scott Montague. We competed better against other teams because of this. Even though the team had only two victories, they still maintained a positive attitude. Peter Beck commented, The year was pretty frustrating as far as wins go, but we still stuck together as a team. We made the best of what we had.
