CROSS COUNTRY RUNS WILD The King Cross Country team braved bad weather, fatigue and arduous practice to complete the 1981 season in triumph. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams were inexperienced runners, yet they overcame this to have one of the most successful cross country seasons King has ever had. The Lions often ran in excess of 200 miles a week. A short five or six miles before school and a challenging workout after was required of each varsity runner. Cross country practice requires determination and discipline, and under the watchful eye of Coach Perkins, runners discov- ered that Cross Country is a very demanding sport. Although the girls’ team was almost totally composed of inexperienced runners, a solid core of sophomores and juniors had a surprisingly good season. Our Lady Lions will be a tough team to defeat as they gain more experience and con- tinue to prove their spirit and determination to win.
