X5 by Nancy Davis ome on guys, keep going, just one more mile! They have sore, strained muscles and their legs are dragging. Arms feel like rubber, just hanging there. Sweat rolls down their faces. There seems no end to the race. Finally, the finish line, a feeling of accomplishment spreads through the runners. The team runs very well together. With the help of Coach Drew Swonetz, they made it to the Avocado League Championships. The first race was against Ramona, with a win of 6-O. Their streak lasted when they ran against San Pasqual, and won 5-1. The varsity team ended with three wins, one tie and three losses. RUN THOSE HILLS im Lynch was one person who really knew where he was going. He ran cross-country for three years and spent all of them on varsity. What he liked most about his sport was the personal satisfaction in running. Jim had a 4.0 GPA and is planning to attend the Air Force Academy where he hopes to become a pilot. Jim's one message is reach for the stars and you'll never come up with a hand- ful of mud. 1 The 1987 Varsity CrossaCountry Team, 1st Row: Ellen Woodman, Ingrid Chniel, Bridget Foster. 2nd ' Row: Coach Drew Swonetz, Corby Stutzman, Cheri Nydam, Mary Favia, Alyssa VanSchmus, Kelly Lynch, Laurie Hazeltine, Erica Ftick, Jennifer Butler, Coach Franklin. 3rd Flow: David Gentry, Mike Lostet- ter, Steve Chavez, Steve Knowles, George Mojica, Mike Emge, Andres Esquerra, Phil Trijas, Jim Lynch, Ron Landis, Aaron Tayler. 1.

I Don't Wanna! I'm Too Tired! W by Kim Knowles ould you like to run outside in the cold four to five miles a day? Members of the girls' varsity cross- country team had to do it, and all managed to do it without killing themselves. It took hard work and these team members were willing and ready. The girls-worked very hard, long hours before each meet. For most of them it was for their own personal satisfaction. Cross-Country is one of the most individualistic sports and takes strong runners. What was their mot- to? Run, Hurt, Sweat, WIN! I F by Nancy Davis reshman Alyssa VanSchmus was a varsity runner coached by Ken Franklin for the first time. She said, Coach Franklin is easy to talk to and can relate to students. To get ready for a race, I think a lot about it. I get intense. Coach Franklin agrees, She is one of the hardest working girls on the squad. I'm very glad she was on the team. Alyssa, who has a 4.0 G.P.A. thinks cross-country is cool and really loves to run those hills. 80 Boys' and Girls' Varsity Cross-Country VY.
