ain brings success CROSS COUNTRY Silhouetted against the sune set, the cross country team practiced along the waters of Cherry Creels Reservoir. Al- though this paints a picture of tranquillity, this team was far from being subdued. In one word they were dynamic. ln one of its best years, the girls' team went all the way to state and placed 10th. lndivide ually, Sr. Tim Oakes placed an impressive 14th in state for the boys. The success vvas due in part to both the mental and physical strength of its members. Be- cause it is such an individual sport, its participants had to have the courage to continue to run when their legs felt like lead, and their body sent palnf ful and powerful messages to their head pleading them to stop. Head Coach Grant Ste- vens said, The lsids on the team are very tough. lt talses a lot of determination to go our and run ten miles when it is so easy to quit on yourself and stop. Added Sr. Russ Horwitz, 'lThe squad did their personal best, l couldn't expect anything more from the team. Coaches Grant Stevens and Ed Ellis gave the team the cone fidence it needed to win. They really helped us malse it through the tough times, said Sr. Jenny White. The spirit and unity felt on the team also added to their suc- cess, On Thursdays before a meet, the team went out to dinner together to get each other psyched up. The coaches also made practices more bear- able by devising scavenger hunts in which teams had to run to certain places all over the city to get clues, and the winning team would get ice cream. The team is very close, and we help each other to lseep go- ing, said Jr. Noel Carlson. An Olympic tradition came to Overland.

-Q.: . xt., A4 ks, nyone fore tennis? TENNISXGOLF Volleys, serves, smashes, labs, These were some of the everyday terms used by the tennis team. This team was a group of individuals with one thing in mind: winning. Kill to win, was Jr. David Tolson's attitude. David had a sure-tire winning technique that he used faithfully, Whenever we had a really big match, l'd always wear my green and blue striped boxers. I never lost when I wore them! However, winning was only achieved after a lot of dedication and hard work, The team practiced every day after school as well as over the summer, But all work and no play can get quite boring. Soph. Tony Oakes de- scribed how he made practice more exciting, 'lWe'd buy Big Gulps at 7-'ll and pick on the freshmen. Overall, the season went well with the tennis team winning the Aurora City Cham- pionships. Jr. Steve Hayutin summed up his feeling for the season by saying, lt's not whether you win or lose, as long as you win. Winning was also on the minds of the members of the golf team. We had a lot of individual talent on the team which really helped us to win, said Jr. Rick Burnside. The golfers worked hard at their swings at Aurora Hills Golf Course after school as well as during the summer. Overall, the team did very well taking four members to state competi- tion and placing seventh. The best thing about the season ace kgs, cording to Sr. Steve Wallen hr was the individual types of people on the team. Everyone got along really well and being so different seemed to bring us closer together. Sr. Brad John- son summed up his feelings by saying, l'This is probably the best team we'll have for a long time, I go to the tennis matches 66 to watch Erik Zundel and Tim Oakes run around in Trying toavoidthegeese,Jr. Rick Burnside fheif 5h0r1'5! hopes for a hole in one Rick is getting .S Scott Gary Hoping for a birdie, Fr.
