J.V. Girls ' Cross Country Just five more yards . . . These were the words that were on many of the girl ' s minds of the J.V. Cross Country Team. All the hours spent training and getting into shape meant so much when they saw the finish line so near. These girls worked extremely hard, and put forth tremendous effort to achieve their goals. Their workouts consisted of running an aver- age of forty miles per week. In order to main- tain this average, they had to run a consider- able amount of time with the team, as well as on their own.

-w Varsity Volleyball Extremely Determined, Successful and Spirit- ed described the first Varsity Volleyball team at University City High School. We had no exper- ienced players, so this year was mostly a build- ing year, building up our attitudes, skills, team- work and basically athletes, said Coach Scan- Ian. They first met as a team early in Septem- ber and practiced four hours after school when the season began. We set goals and attempt- ed to meet them everytime we played, ex- plained the Coach. The students really sup- ported each other and taught as they played. They were great friends toward each other even when they weren ' t on the courts. The team had excellent team and individual skill. Even when we had a loss we still walked off proud, with our heads up, replied Coach Scanlan, there was nothing holding us back. Coach Scanlon, Heidi Jungling, Jenny Davis. Deanna Bakt- los, Jeanne McCracken. Katy Kellers, Jeane Lamotte. Chris Smith, Coach Patterson. SixJtVE Heidi Jungling hit a perfect first pass.
