'3 ' F-.?-.4 Team Beats Western and Places Fourth in Zone New runners John Liptak, Rusel Hays, and Tommy Eubank, joined returning team members Bobby Eubank, Philip Martin, David Smith, and Roy Sampson to run Bonanza's Varsity Cross Country team to a fourth place finish in Zone competition. This year's team was young, having one senior, two juniors, three sophomores, and one freshman, but they were not lack- ing in experience. All had run in competition previous to this year. It was that experience that enabled them to stay close to the big schools and to eventually defeat perennial cross coun- try power Western High in the Zone meet. Every week the team held a run-off to determine who would represent Bonanza on the Varsity squad that week. The top seven finishers in the run-off would be the ones to run Varsity, and through most of the year the top seven were the same ones who eventually ran in the Zone meet. Bobby Eubank was voted Most Valuable Runner by his team- mates for his consistent performances. He was the first Bonanza finisher in all of their meets. He medaled in the three big invitationals, finishing eighth in the Valley Invitational, fourth in the Western Invitational in his age division, and twenty-third out of the 150 in the UNLV lnvitational. He was also sixteenth in the Zone meet. A ln an attempt to get a quick jump on runners from Valley, Boulder City, and Vo-Tech, Bonanza's Cross Country team sprints from the start line. 5 Concentrating on overtaking the leaders, John Liptak and Philip Martin race at Sunset Park. pf Bobby Eubank, who always placed first for Bonanza, kicks into high gear for the last quarter mile. ppp Rusel Hays paces himself behind Philip Martin in an effort that brought them bith medals in the UNLV lnvitational. 60 varsity cross country
