Better Than The Rest The boys' cross country team made the second best finish in any boys' var- sity sport in this school since 1952, according to Pat Becher, head coach. Along with being state runners-up, re- gional runners-up and conference champions, they won seven major invi- tationals and went through it all with good attitudes, dedication and hard work. Their season record was 104 wins with only 15 losses. Sophomores Pat Russell finished fifteenth in the state, Mike Webb, twenty-sixth. Similarly, the girls' cross country team performed very well. They placed third in the state meet, third in regionals and were conference run- ners-up. They won five individual team championships. All-staters Laura Blackburn and Te- resa Swartz placed third and sixth at state. Freshman Cheryl Ericson made the varsity team for the state meet. I like cross country because it is challenging. Every time you go out you are trying to do better,'l said Christie Cook. 74 Cross Country 5 476 W Qi s s gi:

Skill Takes Practice Sports that require stamina, guts, proper breathing techniques and great skill are gymnastics, diving and swim- ming. Gymnastics was an elective course that taught students how to work with several types of apparatus. Some of the activities were aerobics, floor exer- cises, tumbling and working on the parallel bars. Gymnastics helped stu- dents with their coordination and self- confidence. The goal for the divers was to com- pete in the state championships. The divers were required to learn five types of dives including front, back, reverse, inward and twisting. John Ad- ams and Grant Thomas placed second and third in the Okie Conference. They both qualified to compete in the state meet. Being on the swim team meant much dedication. Practice sessions be- gan before school at 5:30 a.m. and resumed after school for another hour or two. Swimmers often lifted weights to help strengthen their bodies. The team placed first in the Okie Confer- ence. Two team members, Tresa Win- stead and Tami Renfro competed at state.
