Wijmen ' s cross country Small but mighty 4-4 Coached by Ann Turnbull, the 1985 Women ' s Cross Coun- try team had an outstanding season. Led by senior co-captains Sue Blanchard and Wendy Nuechterlein, the team consisted of seniors Lynn Bills and Pam Cavanaugh, juniors Kris Mar- rone and Carol Olsen, sophomore Jennifer Goshorn, and freshman Nancy Belding. The team had a 4-4 record for the overall season and one state qualifier, Nuechterlein, who made her fourth appearance at the most prestigious meet of the season. Looking forward to the 1986 season, the Mustangs have four valuable runners returning. Sophomore Jennifer Goshorn strides to the finish line with senior Sue Blanchard at her heels. Senior Lynn Bills struggles to get her sweaty socks on. Juniors Carol Olsen and Kris Marrone pause for a snapshot. m MliilKrg m ' 1 CROSS ' COUNTRY HI NHS Opp 40 Novi 21 1 - 34 South Lyon 23 - 27 North Farmington 30 22 Franklin 37 Churchill 21 Harrison 29 Western WOMEN ' S CROSS COUNTRY — FRONT ROW; Jennifer Goshorn, Captain Wendy Nuechterlein, Tracy Nelson, captain Sue Blanchard, Nancy Belding.

The Mustangs finished with a 7-6-3 record, ending the season with a heartbreaking overtime loss to Canton during the regional playoffs. The hooters ended up third in the division and fifth in the league standings. Fred Cahill, returning captain Dan Magdich, and graduating cap- tain Matt Peltz were chosen to the first team, all Western Division, while Ken Kossak, Nick Morris, Doug Ayers and Todd Stowell were elected to the second team, all Western Division. Coach Dave Yezback, after successfully dealing with the pressures that accompany a first year coach, said of the team, After a very slow start, everything started to click and we finished strong in a league where Salem, Canton, Churchill, and Stevenson took turns in the state rankings. Our young team got stronger throughout the ' 85 season and will continue its progress next year. Senior Matt Ashby lunges toward the opponent ' s goal.

men ' s cross countty Team depth leads harriers to 7-1 record With the Mustangs Men ' s Cross Country team returning only one regular varsity harrier from 1984, the 1985 season was sup- posed to be a rebuilding year. It turned out to be anything but that, as the team finished the dual meet season with a 7-1 record. The harriers had a 5-1 WLAA conference record and were 4-1 in the Western Division, narrowly missing the division crown in a close meet with rival Plymouth Canton. The consistent outings of Kevin Haas, Scott Wiley, Ken Booth, and John Kissinger paced the harriers all year. The team ' s depth, however, helped make the season so successful.
