Completing its eighth win- ning season in a row, the Girls' Cross Country Team finished with a league record of 4-2 and a sixth place finish in the county meet. Running into au- tumn days of mid-November, the highlight of the season was perhaps their victory over their long-time rival, Bay Shore. Although the team had an excellent season, individual achievements were received by Sue Duval and Jessica Squicciarine, who were cho- sen for both All-League and All-Conference selections. ln addition to winning two hon- ors, the exceptional Sue Duval was named the team's Most Valuable Player. Other hon- ored runners included juniors Nadine Grimm, the recipient of the Coaoh's Award, and Ka- ren Sebbesse, selected for the Most improved Award. The team was led by cap- tains Enez Laurence, Kathy Williams, and Sue Duval. The team was a young one, made up of mostly freshmen and ju- niors, and looks forward to a good future. By losing three of its long-time members, seniors Jennifer Dempsey, Enez Laur- ence, and Kathy Williams, the team will have to rely on the remaining experienced run- ners. Each girl had been a member of the team since eighth grade. GAINING GROUND: In the heat Of the race, Sue Duval attempts to pass an op- posing runner.

Boys' Cross Country ' ll 21 W A -,- , i lt ,sf QV For the first time in two years, the Boys' Cross Country Team scored a winning season of four wins and three losses. Good performances under the guidance of Mr. Evans contributed to the winning season, but much was made possible by Billy Fettig, an amazing newcomer to the team. Even though this was Billy's first year in Cross Country, he was able to finish first in almost every race he ran. The freshman was also named the team's Most Valuable Player. Each runner was able to improve his time over last year's. Outstanding steady performances were given by Adam Clavell, John Lee, and Chris Stabile. ln addition, each member was able to win at least one medal. These individual performances occurred at places like Van Cortland Park, New York Tech, and the ever-popular Sunken Meadow. Losing only three seniors, Dan Kessler, Chris Stabile, and Drew Edgar, the future still looks bright for a league championship. P ',, W- f km' 2
