R ight F eet Foward The team considered themselves really close as friends as well as runners. Taking pride in stride, the Girls ' Cross Country team ran hard and with a lot of deter- mination, but fell short of repeating last year ' s success of an undefeated season. You have to prepare yourself in all situa- tions and weather conditions to discipline yourself to be an aggressive runner, and you need a positive attitude, stated senior Lor- raine Robles. Leading the girl runners was returning All- CBL League letterwoman Bobbie Heck, who repeated this honor of making league again this year. Team members say Bobbie is a very aggressive runner and is very inspiring to us. Heck and Lisa Prieto were All-CBL this year. Injuries plagued the team and were a ma- jor setback for their season. But the girls ' de- termination and hard work resulted in them growing a lot as a team. The team considered themselves to be real close friends, as well as runners. They inspired each other greatly. Coach Paul Horn felt that the girls got along well and that they did their best, even though there were hardships. He commented that, It was unfortunate that we did not have our full compliment of seven varsity mem- bers, or have a JV team at all; however, some of the girls did very well and there was much improvement. Leading Rubidoux to the finish line is Lorraine Ro- bles. Since this was Robles ' last year running lor Rubidoux, she made an eitort to beat her previous times. Girls ' Cross Country.

Perfection was nothing short of what the Boys ' Cross Country team accomplished this season. Self discipline, hard work, and long hours of dedication brought the Boys ' Cross Country team to a decisive league champion- ship and an undefeated record in the Citrus Belt League. The team was coached by first year coach, Paul Horn, and veteran, Gabriel Ramirez. Both coaches were satisfied with the team ' s performance. The team was led by outstanding freshman runner, Marco Oceguera. Oceguera and his teammates led themselves to victory. Coach Horn and the team see a repeat of the league championship again, next year. The team has a lot of depth but most of all, the determination of this year ' s season will carry on into the next and may become a dynasty, said Coach Horn. The Boys ' Cross Country team knew they had the talent and ability to win the CIF championship, this really helped them when they were out running. Coach Horn stated, at the beginning of the season, If they really set their goals high, they can win the CIF cham- pionship. They have the talen t and depth to do it. His predictions were correct. The team won the championship and were undefeated. The leaders of the team were Marco Oceguera, Cameron Wood, Jim Boydd, Joaquin Romero, David Schupp, Jose Hoban, Monce Romero, and William Hoak. The team did the best that they could and accomplished their greatest goal. The Boys ' Cross Country team is something to be proud of. Before a race I rest and concentrate. I think about how I ' m going to win the race, stated Oceguera, a freshman. Preparing for a race was done in various forms. Some people meditated, some watched television, and yet others just con- centrated on how they ' re going to win the race. Which ever way the members of the Boys ' Cross Country team chose, it worked, a Boys ' Cross Country.
