Not Running Scared When speaking of an unusual team or season in general, one must think of the 1987 Boys Cross Country team, since the Hounds had both. The Hounds had a lot of fun this year, said Coach Bruess, but at the same time they were dedicated runners. This showed in their individual as well as their team stats. Some of this dedication was shown by special team members like Phil Bemhagen, who earned the Rookie award, Todd Masshardt with the Most Valuable, and Jason Coppes with the Most Improved. Freshman Adam Conti was voted Most Improved. We are all looking forward to next year's team, when 14 of 15 runners will return. The only runner who will not return next year is Captain Terry Endres, who the Hounds lost to graduation. So look out Sauk and Madison! We have shown how good Monroe can be with some less experienced , new runners. Next year we'll be even better when our runners return to run you off the course. Varsity Hounds: Front: Phil Bemhagen, Mark Lueck, Jason Lostetter, Bobbie Copeland.Back: Chris Jones, Todd Masshardt, Jason Coppes, Tim Riese, Terry Endres. Bobby Copeland heads down the hill in the direction of those dreaded dippy de doos, where many a great Hound has made his move to victory. 12 Boys Cross Country

The team not only finished 8-1 overall, 6-0 in conference, but won the Badger Conference Championship at Powless as well. Mr. Larson, varsity coach, commented, What a fantastic group of kids to work with, not only on the court, but off the court as well. The J.V. girls played an outstanding season as well. Although placing third at the Conference tournament, the girls showed how tough they were by being undefeated in the regular season. Mr. Tostrud, Junior Varsity coach, commented 'Although we placed third in the Conference meet, we were undefeated in our conference season. I think that's something to be proud of, we were tough this year. Both teams put forth incredible effort this year. The girls' tennis teams have shown to be a great asset to Monroe High School's sports. Great job, girls! Heidi Mayer puts all her force into her shot. Heidi proved to be a strong member for the team this season. Varsity Tennis Team: Coach Larry Larson,Maureen Deignan, Amy Martin, Ambur Klein, Tammy Dearth, Carolyn Scott, and Carrie Hemming.
