Cross Country Raced to Top In County, State Competition Killian's Cross Country team came oft the line at a slow pace, but in the end they came away with the District and County competition.

Killian Watermen Splash to Water-Logged Victory Like ducks took to water, the Killian varsity swimming team sliced through many oppositions in their first year of exis- tence. Trained by Coach Richard Taylor and Coach Dick Spiegel, the eleven boys, along with the two girls that made up the group, swam against many local schools, including Coral Park and Palmetto. A basic love of that water sport was the only requirement for joining, and they learned and practiced the breaststroke, the back-stroke, and freestyle relays. Mem- bers participated in different events, usually choosing his or her specialty. The cold water in their faces came in the form of a 2-win record at yearls end. 170 The 1969 varsity swimming team, the first in Killian's history, consisted of: ftop, left to rightj Rosemary Giansanti, Gordan Parkin, Stuart Toback, Jeff Borden, Bruce Alexander: tladderj Gianina Freyre: fbottom, l to rj Coach Spiegel, Danny Mitchell, Lon Jacobson, Clark Gault, Dan Westmoreland, Gary Richmond, Glenn Garrett, Ralph Carr, Coach Taylor.
