Spaghetti was an important part of the cross country team, however. Before every meet, the team met and ate spaghetti for the energy this carbohydrate provided. The team then went to the meet and ran the best they could. The cross country team was different from other teams be- cause both the boys and the girls worked together. Jr. Heather Gifford said, We did a lot more things together as a whole rather than as a girls' team and a boys' team. Coach Grant Stevens agreed, I enjoy working with young people who want to be there. They don't have to be there. It was a rebuilding year for cross country. Heather said, A lot of people improved their times tremendously and the newcomers did just as wellf' At the first meet, the Arapa- hoe Invitational, the girls took tenth place and the boys took sixth. At their Liberty Bell meet, the girls came in second and the boys came in sixth. They not only worked well as a team, but also individually. At the Liberty Bell meet, Jr. Heather Gifford came in third and Sr Julie Dittman placed tenth. This was also a year for good- byes. Mr. Ed Ellis left the school and the team after six years of coaching cross country. Sr. Julie Dittman said, The team is going to miss him. His coaching strategies and his en- couragement helped us im- prove. J r.Paulette Garcia said, We learned that winning isn't ev- erything. Team unity is more important.
