This year's squad had a thirteen win and two loss record. They were the San Joaquin Athletic Association champs. Along with the first place finish in league they captured first place in both the Merced and Lincoln tournaments. There was an extremely high level of play. Both of our losses were by just one point. There was a great nucleus of both frosh and soph. We ran very complex of- fenses and they adjusted very well, said Coach Delong. Lincoln had excellent performances by both freshmen and sophomore players, so both the Varsity and J.V. teams have high hopes for next season.

Joggers to the finish Thoroughbreds, it seems, have in- vaded Lincoln's Cross Country team this year. With a lot of hard work and dedication Lincoln's Varsity girls didn't lose once, and came in first in the league while taking second in subsections. Coach Jim Frost said The kids complained a little, but they really came through when we needed them. Each individual's effort helped to produce an outstanding 1981 Cross Country team. Our success is really due to the effort each team member applied outside of our scheduled practices. Lincoln High School is blessed with outstanding runners, such as Julie Rasmussen and Steve Over- gaard, who were chosen best in the league, in their separate divisions, Frost said. The boys' varsity team did an ex- cellent job also, but because there were so few of them, they could not gather the points they needed. Among them were hard working kids who made a strong unit of individ- uals. Leave it to the ever-energetic frosh-soph team to pull an excellent second in the league. Sophomore Mike Long explained, We should have been first, but due to an unexpected technicality, we came in second. We all worked hard and in our hearts, we'll always be number one! Although this was the last year for many outstanding runners, the fu- ture of Lincoln's Cross Country team remains optimistic. These people will always have an influence in my life as dedicated, hard-working, fun loving individ- uals, said varsity member Dana Twigg. I will never forget them!
