To be in Indy for the cross country State Finals. The hard work and long prac- tices paid off for the Dragons. After winning the Sectional, Re- gional, and a school-first Semi- State, the Dragons made their way to Indy, and it wasn't to be spectators. In the end, the Dragons finished 6th in the Hoosier state. According to 3rd year coach and Mid-Southern Conference coach-of-the-year, Steve Fleenor, uAt the beginning of the year, we thought we had a shot at the state finals. With a lot of hard work, that goal came true. Part of the reason for their success, according to Fleenor, was the addition of three new members to the squad. Those members were: Chad Graf, sr.; John East, fr.; and Billy Gross, soph. With the addition of these three runners to the already for midable squad of lettermen, the squad was very successful. Two of the returnees were also standouts, according to Fleenor. Neil Crouse, sr.; was named team MVP, and for good reason. Crouse lost only two races all year, and one was the State Finals, where he placed 4th. Tim Reiger, jr.; was named the most improved runner, and commented, li800 miles of run- ning and bike riding finally paid Just glad to make my contribution. e T. Reiger off for me. I was just glad to make my contribution to the varsity squad and their winning effort. Checking his team's times is 3rd year coach Steve Fleenor, who was named MSC coach-of-the'year and lead his team to the state finals where they placed 6th. Getting off to a fast start at the St. X Tiger Run is the S.C. varsity CC. team. The Dragons defeated the in team in Kentucky, Trinity, when they won the race at Seneca park.

Coach Crabtree commented, iiHe tMiIlert and Jon Beyl were the top two on the team, and they are ranked among the best in Southern Indiana. They are tough to beat at any time. S.C. kicked off their season with three strikes against them, losing their first three matches to Columbus North and East, and Jeffersonville. But the Dragons volleyed their way back, winning all but two of their remaining matches. The varsityis rotation was phenominal, as Coach Crabtree reminded, itWe were runner-up in the Sectional, and had a good shot to win. We had a win- ning season, and competed with everybody. Junior varsity Coach Terry Mc Cartin added on the compo- sition of the varsity, HThis team had as much talent, if not more, than previous teams. It just didnit seem to have the de- sire.
