With a Patapsco runner at his heels Steve Frederxcks has no time to lose in the Run for your life ross country: probably the most grueling, draining and intense sport at Ran- dallstown. The team began the season with a two-mile run, practiced in speed work on the track, and eventually ran six miles-to Citgo, Mount Wilson and over tons of hills. With such a rigorous schedule, why do students join the team? Deirdre Butler runs cross coun- try to get in shape for the winter indoor track teamg Laurie Blinchi- koff runs because she likes the in- dependent feeling she getsg Robert Halpern finds it challenging and rewardingg and Michael Posner enjoys improving his time without feeling tired. Because this is his first year as coach, Mr. Carson felt that he was not fully prepared to lead the team. The season was good any- way. His major disappointment was in the number of people on the team. Since running has become more important in today's society, everyone should run. However, running isn't emphasized as it should be at Randallstown, espe- cially for the boys. Coach Carson plans to increase the size of next year's team. The team was mostly young, with the majority of the boys in tenth grade running for their first year. Among the more exper- ienced were Steve Fredericks, whom Coach Carson named as the most outstanding boyg Quentin Gilbert, and Dan Cooper. Sopho- mores Robert Halpern and Mi- chael Posner equally impressed Coach Carson and promise a bright future for next season's team. The girls performed extremely well this season, since Coach Car- son feels that running is empha- sized more for girls at RHS. The top girl runners this season were Laurie Blinchikoff and Sarah Lestz. Laurie placed third in the county meet and thirteenth in the state meet, while Sarah placed fourteenth in the states. I was nervous but I felt I did the best I could do. I was surprised I did so well, says Laurie. Cross country will become more popular at RHS if Coach Carson has his way. And he expects an- other superb season next year. Q According to Coach Carson, running has eryone should run. It should become a part of become more important in today's society.
