jr. High, Varsity Girls CC Have Good Seasons Before the year started, Coach Jerry alser didn't have much to rely on in his arsity Girls' and Jr. High Boys' Cross ountry teams. He wasn't sure how good hey were. As usual though, he whipped hem into one of the best they have ever had. Like the reserves, the Jr. High and Girls did not have many dual meets, but were entered in some tough Invitationals. The boys' team took 4th at the Defiance Invitational where Ron Meyer edged out teammate Marty Blosser for team honors as he finished sixth overall and Marty seventh. Steve Bare was ninth for the Jr. High harriers and Bob Dull came in 22nd. In the girls' meet Jodie Welly placed fourth and Gale Keeley was 15th. Also, at the Findlay Open , Jodie placed 9th and Gale was 27th against very stiff competi- tion. Jodie, Gale, and the other members ran in their age groups at Defiance as the two girls placed lst and 11th respectively and received medals for their efforts.
