136 Sports They Dicln't Thaw Out Until March As the cold, bitter winds svvirled, the lonely track and field athletes stood silently waiting for the grueling competition to begin. Long before the first meet on February 24 and 25, the Freshman, Junior Varsity, and Varsity track teams suffered through four practice meets, beginning February 2. Sprinters were lucky, for they had to run only a short time in the cold, cold vveather. On the other hand, distance runners had to trudge steadily around the track braving the cold vvind and rain. However, practice meets vvere essential for getting the track team ready for real competition, according to head Coach Ray Davidson. These dedicated runners were happy when the vvarm, sunny weather began and they could finish a successful season. we , .....,... f- iWq..:,g, Wiser, gygygygz . ..., y ,yg -41 ,gf -mf'-if 5,,,V,,,8g.,,,,,,,.,-,tgps ....e,, ta. .. ,M ' 1 . ,,, . . . ff ff WM 1 M 4 ,wfiii 'fha ,m-'5- .- H - - ., W s. - e- rf , . , 1 2. .

Few in Number, But High in Spirit District Championship went to the fleet-of-foot Boys Cross Country team this year after they demolished competing teams. The nine-man team raced to victory at the Univer- sity of Houston meet held at the Glenbrook Golf Course. Twenty-three teams participated. The team also ran at the Rice University Invitational meet where they made their best showing of the year. Though they were few in num- ber, their strength and endurance was outstanding. Annually, Klein sponsors a Boys Cross Country meet host- ing many area teams. This year, they placed second in Division ll. Coach Andy Farrera led the team to a victori- ous season. gym ...a........,-........ -W, wb ,, 3-.. ,sr I QL Ni Fi --4-v-.-aaa..-0....,...,,..,..,.,...A Top: What the Boys' Cross Country team looks like from a squirrel's point of view.
