earns sprint to best-ever campaign Cross country is a sport where a person has to be totally dedicated to running. This sport deals with waking up in the morning and practicing from 6:30-8 a.m., then getting up on Saturday mornings and running two miles for yourself and for the team. This sport is like other sports; it brings peo- ple together and makes a per- son really believe in himself. Cross country is very fun for those who enjoy running. I really enjoy running, and hopefully it will help me do good in track this year, said Pearl Dean, junior. This year ' s cross country teams brought team and in- dividual trophies back from their meets. The girls cross country team placed second in their district meet, and seven girls ran in the regional meet. All the hard practices really paid off for me this year, said Reajean Estrada, senior. Tresa Hermes finishes the race at one of the cross country meets in which she placed seventh. Cross coun- try meets were held w eekly. L to R: Michael Montez. Ray Ortega.

According to Coach Harry Mc Cluskey, the weight room is much needed and will be added to. In time, more weights will certainly be added to the small collection (of weights), he said. It ' s a great facility to have and we have to improve on it to make it the best in the state, Coach Mc Cluskey said. When lifting weights, one should have someone around just to make sure you don ' t drop them on yourself. Getting help from someone else also enable you to try to lift your maximum weight.
