51DI'iI1l'iHg toward the goal demands energy and determination The school day was over. Most girls were now ready to head home. A group of dedicated ath- letes remained long after most of their classmates had left for the day. What could have made them stay at school until 5:00 just about every day? The an- swer was simple: cross-country season had begun. After completing their stretch- es and warm-up exercises, these energetic runners headed dovm the driveway for their daily run. After a few hours of Hamden's hills, the exhausted girls would stagger their way back up to school. This year's team, led by co- captains Amy O'Brien and Keryn Wood, was plagued by various injuries. Despite this, they con- tinued their hard work, and placed well in most of their meets. Their spirit was conta- gious. lt was evident throughout the school, from the signs on each team member's locker to their team sweatshirts, which the girls proudly sported. This group of runners showed everyone that even though they didn't always win their meets, as long as they kept their spirit, they were never losers. They proved what the spirit posters on their lockers proclaimed: Baby, you were born to run! Above: Showing her graceful stride, Sheryl Sink concentrates dunng a 2-112 mile competition run.
