Sprint It Out ... Karen Randall gains a slight edge over rival runners coming into the back stretch. Runnin’ With The Wind Unlike the other North Stafford fall sports teams, the Cross Country teams went through their season with many people not knowing of their existence. This year they made a name for themselves. The girls’ team, coached by Ms. Ray, finished with an 8-2 mark, losing only in a dual meet with Woodbridge and Potomac. Their other loss was in district competition where they finished a disappointing 7th out of 8 teams. North Stafford did send one girl to the regional meet, though. Laurie Kepke finished 19th overall in the regionals and she received the MVP award for the team. Denise Griffis was given the coaches award for the team. Although the girls’ team did not do well in 104 Cross Country the district meet, they placed well in the Invitationals, finishing 2nd out of 15 teams at Woodbridge, and 4th out of 12 at Albermarle. On the other hand, the boys’ team finished with a record of 9-1 while being coached by Mr. Winger. They did just as well as the girls’ team except in the district meet they finished 4th and the whole team went to regionals. They were eliminated at the regionals, but sophomore Nicky Embrey went on to the State meet where he finished 10th. The boys’ team won’t go down much, either, because they had some very good runners on the J.V. level. Don’t expect anything less next year than how they performed this year. Where is Everyone? ... Most of the other runners just cannot keep up with senior Dave Russillo. How Much Farther? ... Lorraine Miller and Laurie Kepke fight to reach the finish line before the other.
