Even lost some still Meade's girls' cross country team had an exceptionally fine 1983 season under the coaching of experienced runner John Dockstader. Although only four of the eight girls had ever run cross country before, hard work and dedication paid off when Meade finished second in the county meet and, the following week, qualified the entire team for the state championship meet. The team consisted of runners Julie Au- gustine, Debbie Brown, Kris DeComo, Eri- ca Emmart, Debbie Masinos, Lisa Rounds and Rena Yates. These girls worked long hours, through heat, cold, wind, hills and exhaustion to give Meade's cross country the recognition it deserves. Personal deter- mination and team effort were the keys to their success. Three girls were selected for county-wide honors. Debbie Masinos and Debbie Brown earned placement on the first team, All-County and Kris' DeComo earned placement on the second team, All- County. Here Debbie Brown runs to a 6th place at county. A week later she took 9th at district. Debbie Masinos, top runner for the girls, took 4th at county and 5th at district. Girls Cross-Country 1' 81

BOYS CC CDN THE MOVE WHAT THEY SAY Even though we missed going to state it was the best season any of us ever had. We couldn't of had more fun. Ha-eh!l - Bill Cranford. This was the best of all years. We had lots of aughs and enjoyed all the work-outs. - Tony Benz. This year the Boys CC team started their season by sending four runners to a cross- country camp. This may have been the key to their having the most successful season ever. They developed their base strength through speed work-outs at the parade field on base and by running a 10 mile trail of hills at Ftocky Gorge in Laurel. This year the team did not take a rest in their work-outs before meets and they held back com- petively through most ofthe meets in order to develop strategy and gain experience. They did rest for the county and district championship meets, though. There, all of their strength, experience, and strategy was put to use. Finishing higher than ever before, the boys team took fifth at county and a very strong sixth at district. There, they missed having the privilege of being the only boys team from Meade to compete in a state championship this year by only two places. Coach Dockstader best sum- med up the season by saying, This year we were stronger than last year and next year we will be even stronger. Tony Benz led the team with an Sth place at both the county and District Championship meets. Co-captain Bill Cranford was the 2nd runner this year taking a 21st at the County Championship. 801 Boys Cross-Country M '. , ..... . ' ' .
