In order to help the team members develop the stamina necessary for a competitive season, coaches Peter Duffy and Ray Hayes directed strenuous training routines, which consisted of twenty minutes of stret- ching and approximately eight miles of running each day. Practices were scheduled daily and took place regardless of the weather conditions. Although several meets were against tough California teams, these strenuous workouts paid off, as both the girls ' and boys ' teams compiled winning seasons. Leading the pacb for the girls were Jocelyn X7hitehead, Angela Coofe, and Kristi Condron, all of whom placed in the top ten at zone. Whitehead was named the Gazette- Journal ' s Prep of the Wceb after chopping almost a minute off last year ' s vnnning time and thus captur- ing the zone tournament. Teamwork and strong finishes from all members helped the girls win their fourth con- secutive state title and finish the year undefeated. Somewhat overshadowed by the girls was the boys ' cross country team. After competing in many challenging, regular season meets, the team went to zone, where juniors Duke Rittenhouse and Chris Lerude placed first and second respectively. Rittenhouse, Reno ' s top individual runner, also took second place at the state championships. Fortunate- ly, since all of the boys ' top runners will be returning next year, an ex- cellent season seems inevitable. By working together, both teams developed a unity and camaraderie that contributed highly to their ac- complishments and successes. 114 I
