Runners Capture Fourth Straight Conference Title All eighteen girls worked very hard and yet still had an awful lot of fun, reflected Coach Howard Jubeck. Being ranked fourth in state at the beginning of the season gave the harriets the determination to capture Tri-State, Stoughton, and Laser Relays, and place third at Madison West Invitational. Competition between our runners and Middleton was soon to end when our girls defeated them in a dual meet, 26-29. But Middleton soon fought back. At Conference Meet Nancy Weckerly placed fourth in a time of 12:17, followed by Tammy Milz, fifth in a time of 12:18, and Tammy Fahrney, seventh in 12:20. These efforts weren’t strong enough though, and the girls found themselves sharing their fourth consecutive Conference Championship title with Middleton. The season ended at Sectionals with a sixth place finish. Honorary Captains were Jana Oxenreider and Mary Silvis. By team vote, special awards went to Tammy Fahrney — Most Valuable Freshman; Colleen Deignan — Most Valuable Sophomore; Nancy Weckerly — Most Valuable Junior; and Jana Oxenreider — Most Valuable Senior. The Junior Varsity finished their season 7-0 in dual meets, captured first place in Stoughton and Fort Atkinson Invitationals, and second at Tri-State and Madison West. This success led them on to win the Conference Championship Meet, where Anne Brennan took second place in a time of 13:21, followed by third place. Julie Ethridge in 13:22. The girls ended the season 92-5. 1. After a grueling race at Sectionals these girls realize the end of this season’s dreams. 2. After the Stoughton Invitational a few harriets relax and display their award. 3. Trish Yurs concentrates as she attacks a hill. 3

Hounds Win Tenth Conference Title “It was a great season for our two superstars Mike Deignan and Mark Endres,” expressed Coach Clarance Bruess, “and a great season for our young untested team.” Our Hounds ran away with first place victories in dual meets, Tri-State, and Fort Atkinson Invitationals, and claimed their eighth consecutive division title at Laser Relays. Despite having a fairly young team with only two letter winners returning, our boys managed to carry out tradition by capturing their tenth consecutive Badger Conference title. Five personal best times, including Mike Deignan’s course breaking time of 15:49, were achieved at the conference meet, hosted at Stoughton. From Badger Conference competiton, our Hounds just missed State qualification by placing third in the Sectional meet at Yahara Hills in Madison. Out of the meet Mark Endres missed qualification by taking sixth place but Mike Deignan, placing first, continued on to State and attained third place in a time of 15:56, the highest achievement of any local cross country runner. Personal achievements went to Thad Radzan-owski — Most Improved; Chris Bartholf — Gut Award; Todd Christen — Rookie Award; Mike Deignan — Most Valuable; and Mark Endres — Honorary Captain. Junior Varsity Hounds captured another 6-0 record in dual meet competition and ran on to win the Badger Conference Meet. Determination was shown by eight of the fifteen runners attaining personal best times, including first place Kare Lausch running 17:51, and Aaron Christen capturing third place in 18:16. 1.
