Season Opens With Perfect Scores Perfect scores for the first two meets gave the Varsity B Cross Country team an outstanding season opening. Following their fantastic start, they continued beating nearly everyone they faced until the end of the season when they encountered some tough teams. Consistent performances by the Varsity B runners kept constant pressure on the Varsity seven to keep their positions. These runners were ready to step into Varsity spots with just the slightest falter from the top runners. This year's Varsity B team had its best season ever being three times larger than it has in previous years. The most effec- tive runner on the team was Tom Miramontes, who inspired his teammates by encouraging team unity and togetherness.

Back row: '--7 iris ain eparate Team Girls' Cross Country took giant strides forward this year. For the first time there was a separate division for the girls. Bonanza was well represented by five young ladies. Through most of the season, one senior, three sophomores, and one freshman ran as Bonanza's first Girls' Cross Country team. For the final few meets, the team was cut to four underclassmen since senior Holli Atkinson was forced to quit running due to a personal problem. Another first for Bonanza's lady runners was having their own coach QDebbie Mathisj instead of sharing a coach with the boys' team. The inexperienced team, led by sophomore Denise Kozlowski, represented Bonanza well considering they were such a young team. Denise finished tenth in the Girls' Division at the Zone meet. The girls were unable to place in team com- petition at Zone because they were one runner short of the five needed for a team.
