Runners succeed with Inexhaustible effort This year ' s junior higii cross country team ended a very success- ful season. With the loss of several key eighth grade runners from last season ' s undefeated team, the gan- gers relied on the steadily improving younger runners. In the early part of the season, some of the runners couldn ' t make it two miles. By the end of the season everyone made it easily. A key to this progress was that the junior high runners ran the same workouts as the high school runners. Above right, Ben Schrolucke, a seventh grader, chased his cousin Matt Schrolucke throughout the season, Ben ' s best time was 12:31 for the tv o-mile course. Far right, Jason Metzger leads a pack of three runners in the early part of the race. Metzg- er ' s best time of 14:21 kept him as fourth place runner for the Rangers. Right, Eighth grader Chad Elshoff pushes himself in a meet at the New Knoxville Gun Club. El- shoff placed third consistently for the Ran- gers with his best of 12:50. Below, Matt Schrolucke chases a Ft. Loramie runner near the finish line at the Spencerville Invitation- al. Matt placed first for the Rangers throughout the season except when he was sidelined with a leg injury. The team compiled a 4-3 dual meet record. The four victories came against Houston, Jackson Cen- ter, Coldwater and Parkway. The three losses came against Anna, Jackson Center and St. Marys. They also took a third at the Spencerville Invitational. ' ' thought the junior high cross country team had a pretty good year Doing high schooi worlcouts heipedus through the year, i thinl in a few years New Knoxviiie wiii have a good team. -Matt Schrolucke Row 1 : Jason Metzger, Toby Hardin, Greg Wietholter.
