Cross
Country: Conquering Mountains
by Sarah Contreras
What is cross country all about? Just like it says... running, but
not on a track; on golf courses, trails, roads, hills, and parks.
Important values can be learned in cross country. Coach Jonathan
Lee stated, “The runners learn endurance, perseverance, and
courage to do the things they fear.”
Cross country is a team running sport. Although individuals run alone,
schools are scored as a team. This year’s cross country theme is “Conquering
Mountains.” Through this season, the team will not only conquer running
mountains, but will learn to face and conquer huge mountains in life
and not give up.
This year`s team consists of 20-26 boys and girls. “ Everyone here
enjoys it,” stated Coach Johanna Fogallan. Junior
Chris Sanine said, “Cross Country is cool. It’s my
first year on the team.” Like Sanine, junior Kelsey Luoma
is also excited. “I like it. I like to run. I am nervous but in the
end it’s all worth it.” The whole team has a positive attitude toward
each other and the coaches.
The cross country team works hard at practice everyday and some Saturdays
from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. Whenever they can, they go to the school pool
and do aqua jogging. They run up and down the pool and do stroking
under water. This increases their lung capacity.
Of all the meets they go to, the state meet is the biggest. It will
be held on Saturday, November 26. The team is working hard to meet
their goals. One of them is go as fast as you can for as long as you
can. The team is ready to go and do their best in everything they
do.

Shakespeare, Where Art
Thou?
For some people, spending eight hours on a bus seems like some new
type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms
Devastate Gulf Coast
Two monster storms, aptly called 100 year storms, savaged the Gulf

of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.
