Sexton sports editor Keeping with the tradition of other fall ath letic teams, the GWU cross-country team, under the leadership of Coach Wince, is off to a terrific Stan. “This is our second full year. I expect us to move up in the conference this year,” said Wince. Although cross-country is considered an in dividual sport, the players are stressing teamwork. “We are working on becoming a stronger team. We want to become closer as a team,” said rumiCT Heather Walton. Becoming a strongw team should help this team compete well, but the runners also want to be recognized and supported. “We would like to be recognized as a promi nent team on campus,” said Petra OrlofT. “We want people to recognize that we are a team and we work hard to win meets.” “The men's team is mostly wrestlers. They have been really faithful,” said Wince. “These guys are as tough as anyone in the conference.” That toughness and hard work should begin to pay dividends as wrestling season is finally un derway. It should also translate into respect and support. This year's team is based on some young tal ent. Freshmen runner Frank Spurlock is one of the better runners on the team. “I expect Frank to qualify for the nationals in the near future,” said Wince. This team, though it has some very good run ners such as Orloff, Walton, Spurlock. Kim Zamrock, Cheryl Williams, Chris Austin, and Pete Scott, is not relying just on its bener players. “We all ran great times in our first meet.” said Orloff. “No one has placed last yet.” Coach Wince believes that this team will not place last at any meet. “There are some stronger teams, but we are solid and we really got it together.” said Walton. It is a known fact that cross-country is one of the least respected sports on campus. Therefore it becomes one of the toughest to compete in. “Cross-Country is like wrestling. You're only as good as your pain threshold allows you to be. These guys are running 46 miles per week. That's pretty strenuous,” said Wince.
