Lifetime challenges met with stamina Cross Country is one of the most chal- lenging and enduring sports an athlete can L L take on, and Clark's girls and boys Cross country teams were surely ready for it. The girls had a good year and improved with every meet. Most of the best times were made by Rochelle Barabe and Shan- non Kelly. The boys cross country team did equally as well although they suffered a loss when runner Steve Wonder injured his ankle and was out for the rest of the season. At the end of the season the team went on to the Northside Tournament in which they placed third in the 3OAAAAA District Meet. Julie Todd Rochelle Barabe finishes a lonely first as she posts another one of her mind bog- gling seasons best times. Rick Angel makes the moves, against his opponents as he pulls in front with grinding effort. Steve is the boy wonder for the cross country team. 94 Cross Country . Aan. 'U or if 5 1

A tradition of winning WHYS C3irl's water polo team brings second in state The girl's water-polo team set a season goal for themselves. A goal that would eventually give them the final victory in state competition. With eight seniors retur- ning, four of whom were named All- American players, the team was sparked by both ability and the will to succeed. They not only had the competitive ex- perience, but also talented newcomers to take them to the state play-offs in Houston. With an ll-O record overall, the girls traveled to Houston to compete for the state championship. They proceeded to defeat Houston Fairlake, Ball High, and Killeen. From there the girls moved to the finals where they were challenged by the Marshall Rams. The score was 4-4 up until the final seconds of the game, but after a penalty was called against the Cougars the Marshall Rams scored in the last second to win state. lt was a heartbreaking loss for Water polo is a great sport that's really coming up. I enjoy it more than swimming because it's more of a challenge and more exciting. l think it just needs more support from the school.
