ff ,tt 'FH ,Q w Cross Countr Runners hurdle obstacles Early morning fog slowly dissipated as figures clad in bright red completed their final lap of a warm-up mile. After finishing, the figures merged and headed toward a room filled with weights and other such exercise paraphenalia to stretch. Before the 9 a.m. hour arrived, they had completed nearly 30 minutes of exercise and stretch routines and run over four miles. These healthy athletes comprised the Boys' cross country track team, coached by Mr. Will Taylor. As in past years, members of the team en- dured rigorous training programs, as junior Wayne Andrews explained. We had to be on the track by 7:15 a.m. for our warm-up mile and then we did in and outs, which means we ran the straight part of the track and walked the corners. After that, we stretched or lifted weights for about 30 minutes, and then we ran three more miles. In the afternoon, we usually did speed work. It was hard enough to run one five minute mile, but to do it four times got a little rough. Sometimes workout was not that hard, though: on Wednesdays, we oc- casionally ran the seven mile track at Memorial Park. Keeping in shape frequently in- flicted injuries on the runners. It was really demanding. You had to be careful and also in tip-top shape 128 O Cross Country to keep up or else you would get hurt, said Senior Eddie Dunnam. As a result of the frequent injuries the team did not do as well in District competition as expected. g Memorial used to always be number one in cross country, but in the past five years, competition has gotten stiff. This year was particularly hard since our team was young and most of our star runners were out, said Andrews. Although cross country season end- ed the second week in November, team members continued to train for track season which began in February. I've been running since I was in the third grade and like it a lot better than football. It takes a lot more out of you to run track and it also gets your legs in shape, said Dunnamlif by Melissa Miller Hurdles are one of the many aspects of track sports. junior Kathy Sorsby practices her jumps after school for the upcoming regional meet.
