Cross Country Team: Second In State Hoban's Cross Country team was the best in the school's history. This came as a surprise to many people, for many believed that the team wouldn't do so well since several of the top seven runners had graduated last year. But the coach, Dick Malloy, and the rest of the team were out to prove the people wrong. Practice started in early June, and the team continued to work hard throughout the summer with several members running over 500 miles during the three month season. The team had an 8-1 dual meet record and finished at or near the top in several invitationals. The Knights also retired the parochial championship trophy by defeating Walsh for the third consecutive year. This was probably the team's last year in the Northeast Ohio Conference, but the Knights left on a winning note. For the third year in a row the Varsity took first place, making this the fifth first place conference finish in seven years that Hoban has participated in the meet. The Junior Varsity added icing to the cake by finishing first in their race for the second consecutive season. The Knights took first place in the sectional meet which advanced them to the districts. ln the district meet, the team again finished behind St. Thomas capturing the number two position in the state.

In the first match of the sectional series, Hoban completely ovenlvhelmed Woodridge scoring 15-0 in the first game and 15-2 in the second game. They went on to defeat the Elms in the second match of the series. ln the sectional championship match, Hoban defeated Kenston in a close match. This qualified the team for the district match. They went on to become district runners-up, behind St. V-M. Nadine Sawaya captained the team. The junior varsity team headed by co-captain Judy Fisher also had an outstanding season. They boasted a 10-0 record for the season. The volleyball team was a young team. There were only three senior members - Captain Nadine Sawaya, Patty Bralek, and Nancy May. This, along with the fact that the junior varsity had such a successful season offers promise for these girls in the future. Judy Fisher sets the ball for Hoban
