Girls' cross country blossoms, moves to fifth place in CCS Like many things, Varsity Girlls Cross Country grows better with time. The team pulled last year's eighth ranking in CCS to a solid fifth. The team began its season with a burst of energy, winning both of their pre- season games against Lick and Aragon High Schools. This vitality remained throughout their league play where they were unbeatable except against Los Gatos, Saint Francis and Leigh. Varsity went on to CCS finals where their team spirit and their running strength enabled them to place fifth. lt was a really special feeling to win both of the invitationals. The Granada invitational was the best, however, be- cause we placed first out of twenty-seven other schools, stated junior Kitty O'Doherty. During the season we had a great deal of team spirit which raised throughout the ranks, added Kim Kistler. Many of the members of this closeknit team plan to return to continue their climb up the CCS rankings. We have really improved. We only have a few more tough competitors left, and when they are gone we will go straight to the top, exclaimed sopho- more Deirdre Kelly. They thought they could, they knew they could. And Girl's Junior Varsity Cross Country team went all the way to second place in their league. The young Junior Varsity team, com- posed of mostly freshmen and sopho- mores, trained strenuously so that their pre-season wins over Lick and Aragon High Schools served as fair notice of the team's winning style. They won all of their 13 meets except for those run against Los Gatos High School. This record gave the Junior Var- sity second place in their league, second only to the Los Gatos team. The team also competed in several in- vitationals, the most notable one being the Crystal Springs Invitational where they placed third. Other aspects of the team were their pride and spirit. As a young team they showed great vitality and unity. Everyone on the team was working together to do the best they could. Of course there was internal competitive- ness, but it was all very friendly, ex- plained sophomore Cathy Norbutas. They matured throughout the season and by the end were a first-rate team, concluded Coach Marty Procaccio. They have a great deal to be proud of. -- Lori Weichenthal - S 5' Y . . vi Kim Kistler ducks under a bush as she rounds the bend, attempting to keep her balance on the sloping terrain tabovej.
