Sophomore leads runners 'cross country Koreen Bridgeman, a talent- ed sophomore, continued her dominance in girls cross coun- try, when she tookkfirst at con- ference, first in regionals, sec- ond in sectionals, and 33rd in state. Team achievements includ- ed second in conference, first in regional, sixth in sectionals, and a 10-2 overall record. Two returning state qualifiers Lynn Matyasik, the only senior, and Bridgeman split the responsi- bility of sharing their exper- ience with the rest of the team. 1 felt funny telling the fresh- men what to do, because 1 was only a year older than them, stated Bridgeman. The team ended the season stronger than it began, be- cause it took a while for the team to develop. H1 wish we would have realized our po- tential before we did, but 1'm glad we did get it together at 138 Girls Cross Country the end, stated Coach Mary Ann Pearson. The larger team was able to compete in more meets. With seven new freshmen the team had depth. The leadership combined with the talent pro- duced a winning season.
