Cross Country “Runners Up” This year the fourth second place cross country trophy was added to the trophy case of the Loggers. The team was seeking for the state title but had key members with slower than normal races that dampened the title hope. We definitely had the talent to be the best in the state said Head Coach Melvin Nice. Bob Gallagher and Jared Nice both obtained their goals by both placing in the top ten. Gallagher was the first Logger in with a fifth place finish. Jared was next to cross the line with an eighth place showing. Junior Greg Holce and Seniors Derek Bellingham and Jason Nice all placed in the top forty. Junior Bill Ca-vinee and Freshman Wes Vaughn came in sixty-eighth and sixty-ninth. Senior Juli Hammerberg represented the girls team with a personal best time, and one of the best finishes for a Ver-nonia girl since the program originated. The other team member, Jackie Price, was unable to qualify for state as she placed ninth at district. Jared Nice and Juli Hammerberg were awarded the most valuable title, with Greg Holce and Jackie Price receiving the most academic award. Senior Derek Bellingham was given the most improved recognition, and Senior Jason Nice was given a special three year varsity certificate. 2 5 24 Cross Country
