X Injuries plague x-country team 3422 I is 1 , 'gas M i ga, E a HK The cross country team was a pack of 13 different people who had at least one thing in common--sore feet. Practices generally ranged from four to ten miles a day, sometimes divided into two-a-days. In the morning, the team would Indian- run through dark and misty Beaver Creek Park and wind up back at York's Country Club as the sun came up. After school, the team would meet at the track for warm-ups and weights, after which they would run more miles. Not having any men qualify for state was a letdown for the team and for coach Phil Towle who said that that hadn't happened in ten years. Injuries and inconsistency seemed to plague the runners. Top runner Ivan Keller had a minor motorcycle accident shortly before the conference meet which kept him from running because of a knee injury. He managed an eighth place finish at districts, but that wasn't enough to get him to state. Before the accident, Ivan had garnered first in almost all meets. Senior Joe Waller and junior John Hamling were sidetracked with ankle injuries. Three determined girls were out for cross country. One short of having a team, the girls ran as individuals during the season. Unlike the boys, the girls didn't have to qualify for state and ran in a field of 135. Senior Karla Fillman placed in the top 50, with the others not far behind. by Karla Fillman 62 Cross C0ul1try . ra +-rf.. if , a I if .. 6 t ,.. is . 5 1 'Jw kg.

Experience is gained by all girls Although there were only two seniors on the girls' golf team, there was more gained in experience than in actual wins. lt showed in the way we played, said senior Lori McLain. Towards the end of the season everyone was pretty consistent. The younger players gained more experience this year than in the past because they were forced into the playing situation. Despite the size of the team, the nine girls placed consistently in the meets they entered. The squad's members, coached by Mrs. Elaine McNaught, were seniors Julie Kuzelka and Lori McLain, juniors Holly Broadwell, Gay Elkins and Mignon Underwoodg sophomores Betsy Brouillette and Shelly Telecky, and freshmen Stacie Nelson and Jenny Wilhelm. Missing state competition by one place, the team placed fourth at districts held at Pioneer Golf Course in Lincoln. Junior Gay Elkins participated in a 3-way sudden death play-off for 9th and 10th place individual medals. Unfortunately, she lost by one stroke to finish 11th. Letter winners for the season were Kuzelka, McLain, Broadwell, Elkins and Underwood. by Deb Moyer tAboveJ Betsy Brouillette's face shows determination as she carries her clubs up the fairway.
