Taking the Lead CROSS COUNTRY PROVES TO BE STRONG Side by side: Joe Santos and Jason Thurber take a warm-up run. Cross country had a new break through to victory this year. The season led to a first ever complete varsity girls team, which proved Mazama to be very strong. The boy's team also came through with a burst of excitement. Mazama was a very com- petitive, supporting group; a real team. Whether you came in first, middle, or last in your race, you always heard your teammates over all others. This exeptional amount of support showed not only spir- it, but superb sportsmanship. Sportsmanship and spirit are a big thing to us. We have it within the team amd we re very good in developing our all over spirit,'' commented coach Larry Wagner. The varsity girls finished, in all-over competition, seventh in the S.O.C. which was their highest finish ever. Our boys team finished average, but we re a young team and ex- pect to be very strong in the years to come ' added Wag- ner. Sophomore Julia Ondri- cek felt the team had an excel- lent season and was surprised with the turnout of students. Another spectacular event was the district meet held at Mazama. This was where the S.O.C.s Thrill of Victory and Agony of Defeat' took place. Mazama finished strong al- though it had no state con- tenders. The group's goal is to have a strong team in the future, and with the dedicated, strong people returning they will do just that.
