arsity Cross Countr Paul Weston strides out in front of two Tennyson runners with Bermwd Kraus coming up fast.' With five wins and only one loss, coming at the hands of the Hayward Farmers, Castro Valley's Varsity Cross Country team completed another suc- cessful season. Highlighting the year, they earned an overall third place standing inthe HAAL meet which took place at Arroyo High School. In addition, the runners participated in the Sacramento State and Terra Nova Invitationals held in November, when they had an opportunity to show their great speed and strength against top-notch teams from all over the State. Filled with a deep desire to win, the team was paced by such excellent runners as Paul Weston, Bernie Kraus, Dave Turcotte, Rich Bauden, Rod Christensen, Jim Duperroir and by two sophomores who showed great potential for the future, Dave Fong, and Neil Jorgensen. In the course of the season, Paul Weston set a new record in a three way meet by running 1.9 miles in a fast 9 minutes and 31 seconds, to beat the Farmer record by 8.seconds. On the whole, Castro Valley can be thoroughly proud of its team and feel fortunate in that many will be returning again next year. Larry Bellinger r u n s a- gainst Tennyson.
