Craig Mitchel stretches while others take it easy Cross Country Stays In Tip-Top Shape The Cross-Country team had an excellent season with a record of five wins and two losses, losing only to Hillcrest and Orem. The team worked especially hard this year running an average of five miles in the morning and between five and ten miles at night. The excellent coaching by Ray Jenson, helped keep the team in tip-top shape. Though the team was doing well at the beginning of the season, they did feel a setback when the number one runner, Robert Timothy, pulled some ligaments while running in the canyon. The injury did slow him down, but he still came back to take twelfth in region and just missed qualifying for state by two places. Cheryl Howlett went through the season undefeated against all the girls in the state. She placed first in region and went on to take first in state. During region competition the Junior Varsity team placed first and had five runners in the top eight places. The girls also placed first at region and then captured the first place trophy at state. This was Al- ta's first state championship. JUNIOR VARSITY—Row t: Rich Griffin Row 2: Arnold Kenneth. Cary Woolsey. Row 3: Mike Vanderbeek, Alan Smith, David Richards.
