Energy Builders I ' ve been on the team for three years and the prac- tices seem to get harder every year. If Ken Gaynor is right, next year ' s team better be prepared to do a lot of running. This year the team runs eight miles a day during practice. All the guys agreed with Ken Schafer ' s opinion that It was fun going on the relay trips and meeting the kids from the other schools. Ken Gaynor liked the meet at Andover because I used to live there and I was running against my friends. Minnechaug ' s course is 2.7 miles long but between the beginning and end are hills, woods and fields. Coach Bamford doesn ' t let the guy ' s hard work go unnoticed, after each meet he buys the whole team apples, which is great. They must be energy builders. 1.
