CROSS COUNTRY TEAM: FRONT ROW: Todd Rexing, Mary Weidner, Stephanie Purcell, Laura Alsop. and statistician Gretchen Hillenbrand. BACK ROW: Mike Locklar, Pat Russel, Roger Brown, Rob Montgomery, and Coach Herb Neighbors, (Photo by Bob Straub) ' On the Road Again ' 35 Willie Nelson ' s On the Road Again was not only a popu- lar hit Put a slogan relating to the cross country team. The running Wildcats closed out their season with a good atti- tude. This season has proved to be demanding and humor- ous. It was a pleasure to coach the team, complimented Coach Mr. Herb Neighbors. The possibility of a team this year was very slim, because only four runners were participating; five were needed to qualify as a team. As a result, the four runners could only compete for individual results after the season had started, However, the team ' s worries were over when junior Pat Russel decided to join, The Wildcats were then able to compete as a team. The top 3.1 mile runners for the ' Cats were senior Roger Brown, juniors Rob Montgomery, Mike Locklar, and Pat Rus- sel, and freshman Todd Rexing. Senior Stephanie Purcell, Mary Weidner, and Laura Alsop were performers in the two mile run. Senior Roger Brown ran cross country for a couple of reasons. With Mr. Neighbors as my coach, I kind of felt obligated to run cross country because he made me what I was in track and field last year, stated Brown. Juniors Mike Locklar and Rob Montgomery have been on the team for three years. During sectionals, Montgomery ran his best time — 18:25. Senior Mary Weidner participated in cross country her first and last year. If we gave out awards, Mary would receive the one for most improved, complimented Mr, Neighbors. Senior Stephanie Purcell commented, Cross country was a lot different this year than it was last year. Last year, the girls and guys ran together, and we ran 3,1 miles. This year we are on a different team than the guys. Senior Laura Alsop also joined the team her first and last This season proved to be demanding and humorous. — Coach Herb Neighbors year. I went out for the team to help my endurance for the track team, she explained. Frosh runner, Todd Rexing, stated, Being the only fresh- man wasn ' t bad; it was just the hills we all had to run. The personal efforts of each team member mixed. They didn ' t exactly make music together, but as Willie Nelson sings, they were often on the road. — Marty May
