1991 Miracle Yearbook

1 Racing with Rigor Cross-Country Imagine running two miles in the freezing cold,for what, for fun? That is exactly what the woman's and men's cross country squads did Saturday November 10, 1990, when they participated in the NC- CAA National Cross Country Meet at John Bryan State Park. I soon realized Cross Coun- try running is much different than any other sport I have been acquainted with. The team comradery and fan par- ticipation is something that makesthe event extremely in- teresting to attend. Many times I would see the men's team, who hadn't run yet, running to see where the women runners were and yelling words of encourage- ment. For running in the cold, there must be a reward- placing. The Lady Jackets fin- ished third, behind Malone and Anderson. Individual placings were 4th by Brenda Paulhamus, 6th by Krista Pritchard. The men from Cedarville hung in to finish strong in the race with a team finish of 5th and top placings of 11th, 17th, and 19th. Even though the day was chilly, the en- thusiasm and support of the Jacket fans and team mem- bers remained strong. — Carrie Mann Kevin Conkel pushes ahead,the finish line in sight.
