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.

'Gln IN SAND, the golf ball is pro- by Sr. Rick Burnside back onto Rick's skill enabled him to third place in the district. ,-.- T E N N 1 S 1 G o L F lil I like tennis because it is a sport against you and yourself, said Sr. Thor Nelson. Number one singles player Jr. Tyler Sa- lazar said, I like tennis be- cause it's challenging, more mental than physical. Juniors Hack Kim and Dean Schafer, partners on the number three doubles team, qualified for state, while their fellow team- mate Tyler finished off the sea- son with a third place at dis- tricts. With the construction on the tennis courts at Utah, the team had to play half their matches at Utah and the other half on the tennis courts at Heather Ridge Country Club. According to Coach Mary Martha Shaw, We weren't as cohesive, our team spirit was lacking due to the construc- tion. Even with these obstacles the tennis team finished the sea- son with a 6-3 record. While some liked the individ- uality of tennis, others shared the same reasons for liking golf. Being outside is the main rea- son why I like golf, said Sr. Rick Burnside. Sr. Gar Kenne- dy said, I like the mental as- pects and also the individuality of the sport? Rick capped a successful sea- son by capturing the district championships. He, however, wasn't the only one to do well. Soph. Jason Duncan consistent- ly shot in the 70's . He played well all year, and he is only a sophmore! In the next two years he will probably be ranked in the top ten for state, said Rick. Jason finished in sixth place in- dividually in the league, he was also selected to the First Team All-City Golf Team, while Gar and Jr. Steve Russell were tear- ing up Aurora's golf courses during the season by consistent- ly shooting in the 80's. Gar, however, was eliminated from district competition by just one stroke. The team's record was not quite up to par or, as Gar said, We just didn't have the depth that we have had in years past. Whether they liked the indi- viduality, the competitiveness, or the mental aspects of each sport, each player gave it his all Golf Aurora Hills 8th Boulder 4th RegisfMullen 7th Cherry Creek 6th Arapahoe Sth Varsity Tennis 6-3 OHS OPP Gateway 7 0 Cherry Creek 0 7 Arapahoe 2 5 Fairview 5 2 Mullen 4 3 Regis 3 4 Boulder 7 0 Central 7 0 Littleton 7 0 JV Tennis 9-0 OHS OPP Cherry Creek 7 I Gateway 7 0 Arapahoe 5 2 Fairview 6 l Mullen 5 2 Regis 4 3 Boulder 7 0 Central 7 0 Littleton 7 0 Layout: Jennifer Song Copy: Carl Loescher Tennis X Golf 6 5
