Cross Countr Success: More Than Skin Deep by Jon Jaro Depth, as defined by the Webster's Dictio- nary, is 'Lthe condition or quality of being deep.' Not only was this year's Girls Varsity team deep with talent, it was deep in friend- ship as well. Senior Kim Uyeda, a four-year member of Cross Country, stated, t'This yearfs team is the strongest so far. Although the lady Titans ended the season at 3-3 in Palomar League competition, they made it We alwiaysthelp each other. No onewiis left behindf tel ffl: ll i- tti- T iff J ,,E?F9l'Carrie Gelwix up at the various invitationals that they com- peted in. The results were: 4th place - Dana Hills Invitational, 4th place - Mt. Car- mel lnvitational, 4th place - Southern Cali- fornia Invitational, and 3rd place - Mt. San Antonio Invitational. Their key to success was the consistent performance by all the runners. Coach Schaitel was able to use ev- ery ounce of talent each individual had. Ju- nior Jill Brawner, a first-year member of Cross Country, remarked, t'He has high ex- pectations and wants us to give 110o7o.H The girls promptly delivered what had been ex- pected of them, and found themselves ex- tremely potent with ability. As a result, Coach Schaitel and the team developed a strong bond of friendship. Carrie Gelwix said, 'tHe fCoach Schaitell is a coach, but we look up to him as a friend. He,s someone to count on and trustf' added Kim Uyeda. De- spite all of the ability that each person pos- sessed, the girls weren't running for them- selves. You run for the team more than for yourselffl replied Jill. This type of attitude produced a unique relationship within the team. Carrie stated, We're all really great friends. f'Everyone makes an effort to get alongf, remarked Jill. The positive chemistry of this year's Girls Varsity team is surely an indication of what lies ahead in the future. Kim closed by predicting, L'We can only get stronger! With so much going for them al- ready, there's no doubt at all that they will become even better in years to come. Lauren Anderson displays the form which led her to so many victories. Carrie Gelwix overtakes an opponent in stride. Teresa Davis runs with a determination un- matched by any other. 52 Cross Country

Everyone set? Bang!!! Off they went, excitingly running in their first Cross Country meet as freshmen. Despite the trials and tribulations they each had to face as freshmen, these young men adjusted rather well. Most of the guys found fitting into the Poway High Cross Country program easy. Dan Travers stated, John Steffens and Kevin Malloy are like big broth- ers. The Freshmen team was accepted by the other squads, and much like them, were very successful. This yearls team posted an impressive third-place finish at the Dana Hills Invitational and an even more remarkable second-place finish at the Mt. San Antonio Invitational. Three runners came in the top twenty at Dana Hills, while another three runners came in the top fifteen at Mt. Sac. How did these freshmen accomplish such feats? Darren Malloy said, The guys work real hard and we really want to win. Chris Crosier added, We work hard but we also have a lot of fun out theref' It's plain to see that these young Titans have the winning atti- tude. Combine this with all the talent that they, clearly, possessed and we obtained something quite special. With this in mind, Cross Country at Poway High School ap- peared to reach new heights. . UV.
