‘Bound for Excellence’ It was the best season in the school’s history. Practices were seven days a week, but for more than the usual twelve week season. The practices were for two, three, and even four years. This described the 1985 boys’ cross country team. Coach Winger had worked hard for the past years to make this team the success that it was. He trained runners through winter into spring and started early for fall practice. Coach Winger attributed the team’s hugh success of placing sixth in the state to the complete team’s contribution made by every runner. Nicky Embrey’s hard work and determination paid off when he became the best runner in the state. Fellow seniors and teammates David Nicky Embrey relaxes after a hard race.
