K eeping in stride Getting up at 6 a.m. and running to school is unusual for most students, however, for the girls Cross Country team, it is a normal occurrence, for they must be at school by 6:30 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for practice. On Wednesday the team runs after school at Riverside Park. Each Saturday during the fall the team participates in meets, where they must run two miles. Both the varsity and junior varsity teams won first place at the Angleton Cross Country Meet. On the varsi- ty level. Tammy Coleman placed third, Tresa Hermes won fifth, Sonia King, eighth, and Tracey Johnson, ninth. For the junior varsity, Crystal Wotipka placed se- cond and Tabitha Brigham placed eighth. At the District 3 1-5 A Cross Country meet, the team placed second, one point behind Victoria High School. I hate to lose, by one or 100 points, said Coach Judy Linville. The pain would have been there regardless of who we lost to. As far as the second place, I ' m not satisfied. We want first place and that will be our goal always, she said. At the regional competition, the team placed seventh and beat the VHS team. From top: Coach Judy Linville, Pearl Dean. Lydia Hobbs, Faith Fernandez, Joyce Williams.

Coach Judy Linville at a meet Lydia Hobbs starts a race. We beat them when it counted. We won the crosstown race without a doubt, Linville said. According to Linville, the girls ran the best race of the season as in- dividuals and as a team. She noted that they won the first girls ' track meet of any kind in the school ' s history and took a team to regional competition. We ' ll run and race with the final goal being a state championship, Linville said. 168 Girls Cross Country
