Two friends shared a moment toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

after <strong>the</strong> race.<br />

Championship<br />

Season<br />

1991 <strong>was</strong> a gre<strong>at</strong> year<br />

for <strong>the</strong> Women's Cross-<br />

Country team. Because<br />

<strong>of</strong> budget cuts, <strong>the</strong> team<br />

conducted tryouts and<br />

sixteen talented women<br />

were chosen. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

team members run a 5K<br />

race. Their home meets<br />

took place <strong>at</strong> Carpenter<br />

St<strong>at</strong>e Park and <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

in <strong>the</strong> North Atlantic<br />

Conference. This division<br />

goes as far north as<br />

Maine but most regular<br />

132 Women's Cross-Country<br />

meets were held closer to<br />

home. O<strong>the</strong>r meets, such<br />

as conference championships,<br />

can be far<strong>the</strong>r<br />

away, and this year's<br />

team won it all, tying<br />

with Boston <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Maggie Leffler is a<br />

member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> team. She<br />

really enjoys being a<br />

member and stresses<br />

how important teamwork<br />

is. The difference<br />

between Cross-Country<br />

and Track, she explains,<br />

is th<strong>at</strong> Cross-Country is<br />

over land as opposed to<br />

a set place. Therefore,<br />

hills and o<strong>the</strong>r obstacles<br />

are involved. "It's <strong>more</strong><br />

interesting," said Leffler.<br />

Congr<strong>at</strong>ul<strong>at</strong>ions on a<br />

successful year and a repe<strong>at</strong><br />

performance is anticip<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

for next year.<br />

Maggie Leffler continued her run to<br />

<strong>the</strong> finish line in hopes <strong>of</strong> finishing<br />

first.
