With the winning drive of co-captains Paul Fergu- son and Frank Quinby. they managed to beat Bellevue East another year making West undefeated against East for 7 years.

w T.. f i I A Girl Runner Highlights Otherwise Weali Season The bright spot on the team was sophomore Beth Kawecki. She was the only state meet qualifier and she ran the district course in 16:30, ten seconds faster than any girl ran last year. commented Coach Ken Kardell. This was a rebuilding year for cross country, but the team was young and Kardell expects them back for the 84-85 season. The team overall had a dismal season losing the majority of its meets. Abraham Lincoln downed the Thunderbirds 20-40. In cross coun- try the team with the lowest score wins. They lost to South 16-47 and to North 21-34, and were toppled by Millard North 19-38, The girls faired a little better and the scores were much closer than the boys team. The girls forfeited their first match to A.L. because they lacked enough runners and lost to South 21-31. They lost in a squeaker to Millard North 27-28 and by forfeit to Omaha North.
