ON-AND-OFF VICTORIES MAR GUYS' SEASON Even the Hulk can’t make faces like that, but Amy Mueller’s is one of concentration. The Kimball girls along with their opponents anxiously await the sound of the gun. .J L 1979 LONGHORN CROSS COUNTRY BOYS GIRLS Gering Inv. 4th 2nd Sidney Inv. 4th 2nd Alliance Inv. 6th 4th Torrington Inv. 4th 1st Western Conf. 2nd 1st Kimball Inv. 6th 2nd DISTRICT 5th -F Cheering their teammates, Jerry Gregory and Tim Warren, Dan Franklin and Tom Allwin yell, Andale Andale, Arriba Arriba!” Over the hills, through ditches and water... being a X-Country runner isn’t easy. But as Haun’s Harriers showed us, the stamina needed to stay with it seems to come out of the blue and enables them to break away and finish a 10-mile run. Thus making a X-Country runner an individual” athlete. The girls had an outstanding season placing first or second in all meets. This in itself is something for the Longhorns to be proud of. Natalie Masada, with talent shining, ran first in all meets, placing second in only one meet. At the end of the regular season, Amy Mueller and Natalie Masada competed in the Marion Cathedral Invitational held in Omaha. Natalie brought home a first place finish. All the girls remarked that this season was one of the best . The boys varsity team failed to place in two meets but placed well in the remaining ones. Tim Warren was the top running Harrier on the boys’ team. The Kimball novice team did very good in all meets—learning the whereabouts of potholes and ditches and getting the needed experience for future X-Country seasons. X-Country 17

0-6 RECORD SHOWS FROSH Dismally the discouraged team left the field as they finished their last game of the season with a loss of 6-31 to the Sidney Red Raiders. This in turn ended their season with a record of 0-6, the closest game being against alliance in a score of 10-21. Although the team had soared into high school with victory on their minds, their thoughts were broken soon by the other teams which overpowered them in height and mental experience. Breaking away from the let-downs of their season the squad took the losses in stride, using them as a sense of encouragement to improve their talents and attitude and look forward to brighter days. As the team put it we goofed-up bad”, but losing is a winning characteristic which only time improves. Do we have to go out there again? Rob Brown and Roger Buescher ask disgustedly as exhaustion takes over. Freshmen football team: (front) Vince Cortney, Scott Sowerwine, Kevin Spicer, Robbie Brown.
