Dedication, endurance, and consis- tency are only a few of the elements it takes to make a cross country run- ner. Coach Gary Haupert said, This year's cross country team possessed all of these elements except consis- tencyf' The team started their grueling practices in August. They ran an average of eight to ten miles a day in order to prepare for the tough sea- son. The average course that the cross country team ran at a meet was three miles long. Unlike most sporting events the team's meets and practices were unaffected by weather conditions. The course was run in anything from 100 degree weather to sleeting or snowing days. Leading the varsity team to four wins and two losses were seniors Mike Dahlin and Paul Nelson and ju- nior Dave MacNick. Coach Haupert felt that the team was well prepared, but he remarked, We always seemed to be one man short this season. Someone was al- ways out with a leg or ankle injury. It really affected our standings in the end. Above: Tom Acevedo rubs his leg with lini- ment in preparation for the three mile run. Above Right: Mark Fuss is filled with deter- mination as he pushes himself to take the last stride over the finish line into the shoot. VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY Front RoW.'
