Every couple of years, a high school fresh
man or sophomore comes along who is so
proficient at a sport that you can hardly wait
until he or she becomes a senior.
It is even ra re r when there is more than one
of that type of athelete But when a coach can
get a whole team of them he gets a gleam in
his eye like a man with a hot streak at the
blackjack table

John White has had that gleam in his eye the
past couple of weeks, and the reason is ob
vious. His Sandy High girls cross country
team is loaded w ith talent — and most of it
young
Considering the depth of the Pioneers, it is
i little wonder that White is optim istic. In a

fin a n c ia l needs
Roth is one of those athletes that could
pick up a discus for the first tim e and throw it
a hundred feet just for the heck of it. As a
freshman, she was d istrict champ in the 400
meters in track, fourth in the state in the 50-
m eter freestyle swim m ing and a member of
the gymnastics team She gave up tum bling
for running this fa ll and im m ediately became
Sandy’s top runner, shattering school marks
set by last ye a r’s number one. Leann Madison.
But you can’t make a team w ith just one
athlete, especially a cross country squad.
Dogging Roth’s heels ail fa ll has been another
prize. Donna Nelson, Nelson's biggest
problem may be that she doesn’t realize just
how good she can be A problem like that can
be easily overlooked considering that Nelson
is only a freshman and has three more years
to give opposing coaches nightmares.
You won’t find two g rittie r com petitors than
Roth and Nelson. They hate to get beat and
would sooner die of heat stroke than let a
d iffe iW ^ c a io r jersey finish ahead of them.
TTiat m ay be one of the keys to the Pioneers’
success Last year's team was the firs t Sandy
squad ever to reach the state tournament The
Pioneers did it by finishing second in district.
But this year s team has already beaten last
year's best tim e by two-and-a-half seconds
and the ‘79 Pioneers are nowhere close to
peaking.
Darby Binder was one of the surprises of
last sp ring’s track season and great things
were expected of her this fall. But in Sandy’s
early meets, Binder didn’t exactly set the
world on fire. Binder s a com petitor, however,
jiB t like her teammates She knew she should
be running better and as she got into shape
things began falling in place. Three weeks ago
she was fourth for Sandy, two weeks ago th ird
and against Beaverton recently, she was
second. Binder is just a sophomore.
There are others Laura Stringham ran her
firs t race ever for Sandy last week and
finished just behind Binder. Stringham , who
looks like someone’s little sister w ith a track
uniform , just may be the most natural runner
on the team Stringham has three more years
to find out — she s also just a freshman
Renee Hess is another tough com petitor and
her performance at the Tim ber Valley League
Invitational helped Sandy to a second place
finish. Hess w ill return next year, she is just a
ju nio r.
The old lady on the squad is Cindy Rudisill.
R udisill is the lone senior among the top seven
runners and w ill miss next year when Sandy
should have its best team in history.
But even though the Pioneers are young,
they re going to surprise a few people this
year Next year there w ill be no surprises, but
. w ith talent like that, it m ight not m atter.
