Mr. Hawkins, the cross country coach said, “ I want them to go out and run their own race and to push themselves to get over the pain threshold, in order to improve themselves.” There were three outstanding individuals this season. Todd Henecke, a sophomore, ran third in the Mississippi Valley. Renee Andrle, a freshman, ran very well. Hawkins said she had a lot of potential. Fred Boxa, a senior, was in the top ten positions. “ Ifit wasn’t for the girls team pushing me all summer, it wouldn’t have been as much fun. They even gave me a laugh once in while,” laughed Todd Henecke. 120 A Bit on the Wild Side Back row: Javan Maehl, Brian Merta, Todd Henecke, Fred Boxa, Brian Jones, Jeremy Kalous, Coach Robert Hawkins.
