Special Spirit The Cross Country team had a special team spirit which made it easy to accomplish many goals, stated Coach Dan Durbin. The boy's team captured the City Cross County title. The following individuals made the All-City team: Rodney Compton, Scott Hayes, Bobby Swallows, And Kim Overfield, Making the All-SIAC team were Compton, Hayes, and Overfield. Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the year was that both the girl's and boy's team qualified for semi-state together. Reitz was the only Southwestern Indiana team to qualify both teams. When the semi-state meet was over, only one Reitz runner was going to State. Seniro Scott Hayes competed and placed fiftieth in the State Cross Country Meet in Indianaoplis. Our team was uniqaue this year and I was proud of every runner on my teams. They are special people. Reitz Boy's Cross Country off and running.
