Boy ' s And Girl ' s Cross Country Use Teamwork The Boy ' s Cross country team got un- derway with Coach Alspaugh and eleven members. Even though this year ' s perfor- mance wasn ' t what they wanted, at least two goals were met. Understanding that Cross Country is a sport that requires dedication, hard work, and lots of endurance, team members must exercise considerable self-discipline in daily practices alone. Coach Alspaugh said that the team did meet their two basic goals this season. One was to improve last year ' s victories total and the other to win a conference meet. They did both with victories over John Glenn and LaVille. This year Brian Piotrowicz lettered for his fourth year and also won the team ' s MVP award. Captains for this year were Dale Tafelski and Brian Piotrowicz. Below; Cindy Stallworth (middle) hams it up while teammates (left to right) Kym Black, John DeCocq.

Not pictured; Coach Alspaugh- The Girl ' s Cross Country team was ex- ceptional in that they were able to do very well even though the odds were against them. The girls had a small team this year with only seven members. The team was also plagued with the almost predictable knee and ankle injuries. Even so, the girls fought hard and performed well ending the season with a record of 1- 10 and a conference record of 1-8. The leading runner was Cindy Stallworth who broke the sophomore record at New Prarie with a 17:41 for 2.4 miles. Cap- tains for this year were Kym Black and Lynn Chrzan. Front row; Kristen Vanslager.
