These girls ran well together and advised each other on running techniques. They attended meets at the University of Houston Invitational and at Spring Creek Park in a dual meet against Spring which Klein won. They enjoyed each other's company and run- ning cross country.

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.

Their Stride Wos Frozen Too Both the Freshman and Varsity Girls Track teams trudged through the same anguish the boys team did during the cold vveather. Even though their first track meet vvasn't until lVlarch 4, these determined girls also had to withstand the wind and slush which began in January. The team attended eight meets this year and hosted an annual girls' meet in lVlarch. Despite the hardships, the girls track teams raced for the finish line in full stride and honor.
