hw. r'---f i.......S 3... . On a bright and cheery day, Karyn Gallagher pedals off pounds in order to get into shape for the season. Setting out for an intensive run, Lisa Lau strains her well-toned leg muscles. foa1owa72Z12iffwiugAofeag51 Burning a path down the road, my vehicle swerved as I almost gunned down a panting runner. However, I regained my composure. I noticed several more athletes rushing at my car. As I made a swift turn onto Ben- ham St., I discerned still another pack of joggers racing down the road. Cross country season was again underway. After school each day, the team practiced energetically in hopes of getting off to a running start. They were visible in the vicinity of Sacred Heart, darting throughout the streets as well as in the gym, riding the exercise bike. They were also seen scattered about the driveway, some dropping like flies after a five- mile run. Stations were set up in the gym. Each runner would spend three min- utes at each station, either doing sit- ups, jumping rope, or stretching. During agreeable weather, they drilled on the field. Running back- iff ff fvemaff My A wards and skipping were two of the exercises done to promote better form. After hours of speeding around the campus' course, cross country runners sometimes sought repose at McDonald's. The team, coached by Ms. Diane Wright, earned their spots in Albany following a successful season of meets. Several girls placed in the Connecticut TAC junior Olympic Cross Country Championships at Eastern Connecticut State Universi- ty. Leslie Calabrese placed second in the Intermediate Girls 5000-meter, Keryn Wood placed second in the Young Womens 5000-meter and jennifer McKinley placed third in the Girls Youth 4000-meter runs that qualified them for the Regional Championships in Albany. Co-cap- tain Karyn Gallagher commented: The competition was tremend but we worked together as a team to reach the Championships. lf- I l L ,,'-, 1. 'FF ' i W 7 .W ' 1 M ,, V 'f ww.

fcowiwfiuveaof e Shouts of excitement were not unusual to hear in the gym after 7:00 p.m. during the basketball season. Flying on the court the Pacers dis- played fine techniques and tremen- dous teamwork. Whether behind by 8 points or leading by 12 the varsity team worked together to complete an impressive 16-4 record during the regular season. A tough defense al- lowed the varsity team to win by at least 10 points in over half of their games. Offensive plays were equally great - marked by speed agility and accuracy. The Pacers raced through one of their best years ever as they tri- umphed over such formidable op- teams won game after game to gain the reputation as one of the tough- est contenders in the All-Connecti- cut Conference. Said Coach George Piazza of his victorious team, lm very proud of our girls. They ve nev- er worked better together. Sue s leadership showed throughout the season. It was not only a year for team rec- ognition but for personal acheive- ment as Sue Bowen scored the 1000th point of her career against St. Mary. The third player in SHA s his- tory to reach such a goal Sue com- mented The 1000th was the hard- to get, but now I m really glad! Sue also broke Sacred Heart s record ponents as Northwest Catholic and St. Thomas Aquinas. Led by captain Sue Bowen, both IV and varsity with a shining score of 48 points against Mercy.
