V LKVA J ,gg V .lf ,, aa.: fifgl, Girls top district runners With an excellent season be- hind them, the girls cross coun- try team finished up with the top spot in district action, quali- fying themselves for regional competition. Top runners in the 2.15 mile race for the title were Paige Bon- ner in second place, Carey Car- nahan in fourth, Cynthia Mar- tin in fifth, Allison Tringle in sixth, Erina Duganne in sev- enth, Marian Gppenheimer in eleventh, and Rachel Webb in thirteenth place. There were 15 runners in all in the race, and these top-rate finishes earned the girls 15 points, enough to beat the Clemens and West Campus teams for the title. In regional competition, though, the girls team only managed to capture ninth place, not the third place needed to ad- vance to state competition. High placings in meets at Southside Lions, Central Catho- lic, Northside and Seguin helped the team along to its high finish in district play and gave the team a sense of accom- plishment. Among the notable runners on the team were Maria Lozano, Cynthia Martin, Paige Bonner, and Erina Duganne. Girls Varsity Cross Country 213

Young j.V. run hard, fast Although they won no titles this year the junior varsity boys cross country team members distinguished themselves in meets against teams that were larger and more experienced than they were. With high placings at the meets at Seguin, third in eleven, Northside, second place, Cen- tral Catholic, second, and Southside Lions, the junior boy runners showed everyone that they had the talent needed to beat more experienced teams. Outstanding showings were contributed by Greg Marcus, 15th place, Mike Barrows, 17th place, and Larry Martinez in 23rd place at the Northside meet where 119 runners, from mostly five-A schools, were participat- ing. Also with outstanding fin- ishes were Larry Martinez, 24th, Roger Gragg, soth, and Doug Mellor in 48th at the meet at Southside Lions where 100 run- ners were present. Head cross country coach Bruce Fink said that the team was young and inexperienced, but that he was proud of its per- formance in the seasonal play.
