A LOT TO LEARN When asked about the team, coaches Mr. Mallory and Mr. Ben- ton said, This is the hardest work- ing group we have ever worked with. They also felt that the entire group of boys learned a great deal and that they were an exceptional group of young men. Three boys who helped the team tremendously were Bryan Klein, Laurence Guisinger, and Ron Guisinger from Hudson Park Elementary. They were the ball boys. There were quite a few injuries that led to inconsistencies throughout the season, but both Coach Mallory and Coach Benton said, We feel that this group will be successful in the future.

Front: Undo Mason, and Kim Womack. NO PAIN, NO GAIN Cross country is a great sport! I have run cross country for four years and I think it's one of the most re- warding sports. It is a very hard sport but it makes you feel good about yourself knowing that you can do it. Cross country is a team sport as well as an individual sport and there is no better feeling than a group of girls working together to beat another team in a race. In general running is the most painful, rewarding, and fun sport a person could go out for and I wouldn't trade my four years for any- thing. , said senior Kim Womack Pain seemed to be the key to a successful season for the girls cross country team. The girls ran the cross country course everyday, to prepare themselves for their meets. Team- work was very important to prepare themselves for their meets. Team- work was very important to the whole team as they ran that last stretch for a win.
