Right On Schedule ross Country showed an overall improvement from last year’s losing season. Team members worked hard in practice and put out the effort to move the team in the right direction.

The runners felt good about their efforts. Special Mention should go to Cory Preston, the only girl on the team. Angela Cottrell coached the team, pro- viding good advice and moral support. Next year the Cross Country team is hoping to accu- mulate further interest and cre- ate a winning boy’s team, as well as field a full girl’s team. -Aaron Taylor STATS James Monroe Stafford Caroline Culpeper Louisa James Monroe King George Orange North Stafford James Monroe Record: 2-4 Gy) ross Country Making Fast Tracks Doug Shirey, Cori Preston, and Brian Jackson relax before a meet by talking to other team members.
