In Steve Devaney's case the answer is obviously yes. Runn- ing and winning were synonymous with pride and determination. As the key to the cross-country boys' team, he paced them to a number of victories, including the teams 8th place victory in the state meet. Positive competitiveness and commitment were attributes Steve instilled in the team. The goal of the team was to be packed together and Steve provided the catalyst to make this possible. Despite being hospitalized with a serious stomach disorder, Steve came back to guide the team to wins over Lennox, Adrian and to State. Cross-Country is by no means a sport decided by one person, it's a team sport, but having a leader with Steve's chutzpah provided the motivation to keep going. ,wf ' xt ,Q 3,l,f,fg,Q L-:J - ,'n,j 'Y'1'F-7' V.ygtrg:4'ay.Qwff ff' , 'nfl ,q5ff4f'f ' Ewa 4 f rw. 1 es z'l3'stf5 'it2 ,.,' ' ' f','. 5' - H j, Lv if , ,,.?,44Q7 .

What's the challenge? The O'Gorman boys' golf team 'followed-through' on the challenge. First it started with the city meet, in which they putted their way to 3rd place. Next they 'par-layed' on to the regional tournament held at Min- nehaha Country Club. lt was 'rough' but the hazard' was worth it. They came away with a respectable showing. 'Chipping' away at state, Chad Viereck and Todd Kolb 'approached' the tournament with confidence. Todd finished with a respectable 10th and Chad 6th. Of course with all this com- petiveness, the golfers needed en- couragement and leadership, which they received in the person of Randy Slechta. He was their 'ace.' Also the O'G golfers competed in many invitationals. At the Yankton invitational, they played the 'fairway' and took 4th place out of 9 teams. The 84-85 boys' golf team con- sisted of Pat Thill, Bob Dougherty, Dave Dougherty, Russ Hobson, John Shelby, Mike Lenz and Carl Butzer for the J.V. team. The varsity players included Joe Heiberger, Sean Farah, Greg Engler, Todd Kolb and Chad Viereck. TOP LEFT: Todd Kolb concentrates before following through.
