Girls C.C. Wins League Title; Boys Finish Third It was once again a good season for the cross country teams. They worked out every night after school and sometimes on weekends. Both teams traveled to Gilchrist, Cannyonville, and Glide, with the girls taking home the first place trophy from Canyonville and both teams bringing back individual ribbons from the meets. The girls ran away with a 7-0 season as they have in the last two years taking the title of the Emerald League for the third year in a row. The girls picked up a first place in district which sent them to state for the third year in a row also.They placed fifth in state trailing just one point from fourth place and four points from a third place trophy. The boys also had a good season ending it with a 5-2 record placing third in the Emerald League (just missing going to state by a few points). J. Lee Shingleton, Susan Leavitt, and Diane Theriault all made the Emerald League Team, with Diane making it for two years and Susan for three. Next year will be a tough one as we are changing our league. The girls will be losing four outstanding seniors which will be a great loss to the team. The boys should have a good season as they are only losing one senior. All together it has been a very good season and will be again. A. Varsity Teams from left to right. Front Row: Marie Theriault.
