SPORTS - Ulf lnjuries plague season Volleyball team unable to recover Injuries and the lack of a home court created problems for the volleyball squad. We felt like we could have done better. We had to prac- tice at the YMCA and play at the high school. We didn't have a home court advantage, ever, Head Coach Betty Jo johns said. According to johns the ar- tifical surface at the practice area aggravated already weak ankles. Pattie Goodman, a strength in the Buster lineup, was out of action during crucial matches.

Cross Country Team-Back row: Jeff Tolbert, Joe Flores, Frank Szymanski, Bennie Ybarra, Daryl Lynch. Front row: Kelly Young, Shirlene Hall, Jolene Ostmeyer, Ellie Overton. Cross Country takes special people DCd1C3t1OH IS a prerequlslte It's an individual sport that takes a special person to take partf' Head Cross Country Coach Wayne Stagaard said. Those special people made up the men's and women's cross country team. They were Daryl Lynch, Bennie Ybarra, Joe Flores, Tony Silvester, Frank Szymanski, Kelly Young, Jolene Ostmeyer, Shirlene Hall and Ellie Overton. Lynch, a sophomore, finish- ed 21st out of 111 and Young, also a sophomore, finished in 19th place out of 93 at the Region VI meet at Barton County. Barton went on to win the regional meet. Only the top 15 finishers went on to compete national- ly. According to Stagaard competition throughout the season varied from other junior colleges to larger universities. We were runn- ing behind some pretty good people, he said. Stagaard coached both the men and the women. He en- countered only one problem with this arrangement. The Air Force Academy scheduled the men's and women's meets 15 minutes and 12 miles apart. Aside from that he enjoyed coaching both squads. It,s fun, it's the natural thing,', he said. Being a cross country run- ner required dedication. The men trained from nine to 12 miles per day and the women six to eight. They have to run year round to be good, Stagaard said. According to Stagaard, cross country is the only sport which puts a premium on its weakest person. The team had to start together, stay together and be able to finish together. . . V .
