Cross country undefeated in conference by Anna Kurtz The 1997-98 season for girls' cross country is almost at an end. With the Regional meet on October 25th, the Hawks plan to run their best in order to advance to Sectionals the following Saturday. That possibility notwithstanding, each member of this year's team will look back on the season with pride in their accomplishments, especially their unmarked dual meet record. Although the junior varsity season is already over, they proved themselves a dedicated
group of runners who will be able and willing to catch up to the varsity pack next year. Though only the top seven can be contenders in the last few meets the Hawks are ready to finish off this season knowing that next year there will be just as many goals to achieve and victories to be won. In the Addison Trails Invitational on October 11, the Hawks finished with an overall fifth place. On the varsity level, Ehzabeth Gibbons finished in 10th place with a time of 12:20, followed by Gina Kremer (12:45),
Cara Cordaro (13:42), Anna Kurtz (13:44) and AsheleyKiefer (14:04). The frosh-soph level was led by Maura Collins who finished in second place widi a time of 12:59, Nicole Penn was not far behind with a time of 13:24, followed by Rebecca Boudous 13:25 and Lydia Liu 13:37. In the last dual meet of the season, at Maine West, Gibbons won the varsity race with a time of 13:50, followed by Kremer(14:ll), ColUns (14:25), Meghan Sexton (14:47) and Cordaro (15:00).
Volleyball is filled with determination by Ellen Crawford Continuously striving for a victorious fmish, the Hawks' volleyball team is building up the positive attitudes and building onto the physical preparation. Focusing on one play, one game and one match at a time, the team is making definite progress toward a more competitive level. Taking their game to an intense and consistent level is among the team's goals for the remainder of this
season. Unfortunately, the Hawks were unable to regain the momentum that was seen in the first game against Highland Park. Therefore, after the first game of strengtii and completefire,the Hawks struggled widi controlling thefinaltwo games. Not willing to give up the rest of the season, the Hawks spend their practices conditioning themselves for their upcomingrivals:Niles North, Glenbrook North, and Maine West to name
a few. Captains Kimmy Schwartz and Amy Angarone lead the girls with determination and support for one another.. The team's hard work and persistence can be seen as they are hitting the floor to dig a ball, setting a ball up withfinesseand accuracy, and spiking with all the power from within themselves as long they are toughening up mentally and physically until the very finish, they will have accomplished a lot.
