Keith Picketts' talent as a runner gained wide recogni- tion in Cross Coun- try. He started run- ning with his dad at the age of eight, and the more he ran the more he enjoyed it. Keith schedules his day around his workouts, which take about two hours a day. He won the district Cham- pionship for the second consecutive year on the Varsity Cross Country Team. Keith had an outstanding year. said Coach Hugh Hamm. Keith hopes to attend a Southwest Conference School and train for the Olympics. If that doesn't work out, then he hopes to go into coaching or business. His other interests include basketball, hunting, and fishing. If l'm good enough to make a career out of running, l'll definitely try, but if not I'll run for the fun of it. said Keith. Karen Laird. Girl's Cross Country .

Missed Potential Teams fall short of goals while individuals have stellar seasons We had a very unsuccessful season. We had a lot of potential, something we had but didn't use. Kathy Hudson. . Any runner knows that when you've reached your limit, there,s always that second wind. Every year the Cross Country teams run each meet in preparation for the District meet and a chance to ad- vance to the Regional meet. The teams, average workout each day was six to nine miles, which they accumulate by running before school and during athletics. This year both teams did not achieve their ultimate goals, but some in- dividuals did stand out. Keith Pickett 1111 gained the most recognition. He improved his record this year for a three mile course, which won him first place at district. Other leading runners for the boys' team included Tad Wynne 1111, Erik Woodard 1111, Joey George 1121, and John Holt 1121. Sophomore, Tammy Bentke led the girls' team and became a new competition for other schools. Oth- er leading runners included Kim Milburn 1121, Adrienne Harper 1111, Shelly Owens 1121, and Lisa Weber 1121. The girl's had a good team, but we never accomplished what we needed to. We ran great two weeks before district, but at district we went down. said Coach Hudson. Karen Laird. The Girls Cross Country team waits for the starting gun to begin the meet against L.D, Bell.

Despite changes The tennis team maintained Coach Austin re- ally wanted to m a k e s o m e changes on the team and I think all the changes helped immensely. Not only physical- ly, but emotionally too, said Stepha- nie Kimball. p.a.. C a winning attitude This year was one of change for the 1987-88 Tennis Team. For it brought not only new courts and new uniforms but also a new coach as well, Ms. Carolyn Austin. Coach Austin came from another school, where she taught Physical Education. Her ideas and tech- niques were much different from the ideas and techniques of the past coaches, which was noticed by her players. I liked the way Coach Austin got things done, said Chad Karger, a two year member of the tennis team, and also a captain dur- ing his senior year. The best in the players was brought out by Coach Austin's win- ning attitude and positive thinking. The team's captains this year were Craig Howell, Chad Karger, and Misty Stone. All three were high standing on the tennis ladder for most of the year and helped lead the team with their wins. Coach Austin really came through this year by pulling the team together and placing a 'give it your best' attitude, said Misty Stone, a three year member of the team. . ' 'Q 'T .
