Test of Endurance Successful running requires a thorough and consistent training program. Principles such as modera- tion, progression and adaptability, but most of all endurance, must be pre- sent. These strengths are tested each year in the annual Bullfrog Creek Invita- tional. This run included a 3 mile run through a wooded area, over an unlevel course, and through a large creek. Each cross country course tested the athletes' ability, determina- tion. and stamina with its complexness. Team captain, Alan Collins executed his talent of endurance by completing his third season as a member of the Cross Country team. Other aggressive runners included Erik Zerla. Jeff and Greg Gerald, and John Slattery. Both Coaches in charge of these dynamic young men are veterans in the field of running. Coach Adams has worked very fluently with the Brandon Running Association While Damon Sterling is a former King Cross Country runner. Together the coaches and team members realized the impor- tance of constantly testing one's endurance.
