Running on Borrowed Time Self-discipline was an essential part of training for North's cross country run- ners. Despite sweat and pain, in fair or foul weather, both girls and boys ran at least five miles daily to build up their endurance. Every Monday was spent on the stadium track concentrating on their speed. North's Cross Country Teams had a rebuilding season under the coaching of two experienced runners, Ms. Melody Mitchitell and Ms. Terry Wieland. These coaches just didn't sit on the sidelines yelling instructions and en- couragements, but worked out daily with their runners. Both the girls' and boys' teams were largely composed of young, inex- perienced runners. Only a few had ever competed in any type of distance running before the first meet. After a season of eleven meets against teams from Venice to Naples, North's runners had improved so much that some of them were finishing in the top five places. Dusty Boyd, one of the two seniors on the boys' squad and perhaps the most experienced runner, was injured mid- way through the season. However, this did not eliminate him from being named Most Valuable Runner along with Tom Tisell. The Most Improved Runner Awards went to Walter Ratliff, Curtis Gully, and Mark Westra, who had each cut their time on the 3-mile course by at least two minutes. Richard and Steve Muri captained the ' 1981 Boys' Cross Country Team. The 1981 Girls' Team was led by freshman Cindy Weber and sophomore Ianice Cottrill. Cindy was winner of the coveted Most Valuable Runner award, while Ramona Harris, who had improved her time on the girls' 2-mile course by more than ten minutes, was selected Most Improved. Distance running is a sport that can be enjoyed throughout one's life. It instills in each participant a feeling of ac- complishmentg knowing you are doing something good for your health as well as for the enjoyment derived from those moments of inner peace. 2 1 - Maxine Soler pushes to cross the finish line ahead of the other runners. 2 - The 1981 Varsity Girls Cross Country Team: Front Row IL to Rj: Maxine Soler, Doris Soler, Maria Castaldo, Teresa Roof.
