Girls Capture CIF Crown his year's girls' cross country team was very young, but the rookies gained confidence and became more competitive with every meet. They are im- proving by leaps and bounds, Mr. Nerelli said of them early in the season. Shannon Egan, the only senior on the team helped guide the young team. The depth of the team came from veterans, Stephanie Krouse, Kristy Whitten and freshmen Cheryl Rodenhi, Meg George, Amuah Torres and Shana Jordan. Ashley Orton, a junior, was also a strong runner but was out most of the season due to illness. The different levels of experience gave the team a unique character that helped earn them first place in league and put them on their way to CIF. CIF competition took place in November at Mount San Antonio College in southern California. With the help of Ashley Orton, who was finally well enough to compete, the girls captured first place over many more mature and experienced teams. All of the cross country teams had excellent seasons this year upholding a long-standing tradition that goes back to the early days of the school's history. Page 96. 1.

Cheryl Rodenhi and Shannon Egan receive their roses with glee. The boys' varsity cross country team bought roses for all the girls to wish them good luck. 3. Along with her enthusiasm for running, Stephanie Krouse also puts a good amount of time into art, another of her favorite activities. Page 97. 1. Although Shannon Egan's first priority is running, she also loves to travel. She has been to Taiwan and will be going to France and Spain after graduation. 2. Maneuvering to the front posi- tions and keeping them after a tense start of a race takes a lot of concentration for Ashley Orton and Shannon Egan. 3. Morro Bay High School gave the girls a special send off for CIF. Many classmates crowd- ed around during an extended passing period to cheer them on. The send-off was made even more dramatic when the van sputtered and died three times before roaring off in a cloud of smoke. ' 4:1 Ullfs -. as , I ' .L .... x O X x . . Mm ' .,.. 5 ng. , s . , f s
