CROSS COUNTRY Practice started Sept. 10, 1956, for Coach Wilkinson's harriers. A squad of eight runners showed up for practice and stayed with it through a very successful season. Ierry Ellis took honors through the season. He led us to the Franklin County Champion- ship Title and later he won the Class S cross county title. Ierry is only a freshman and with three more years of high school ahead of him should become one of the best runners in Maine and New England. Let's watch him and back him. With twelve teams competing at the State Meet at Orono, Phillips finished second with Ierry leading the pack home. Wiscasset High School took lst honors, Casco High, 3rd and Cape Elizabeth, 4th. Ray Leavitt is the only runner of the eight to be lost by graduation. The meets in which we participated and the results follow.

They were the Franklin County Meet at Farm- ington, won by Farmington, a triangle meet with Farmington, lay, and Phillips, won by Farmington, and another triangle meet at Wilton with New Sharon, Wilton and Phillips participating. New Sharon was the winner of this meet. We have five letter men back this year. They are Dunn, Leavitt, Wilcox, Mecham, and Hodges. In all, we have a squad of twelve out for track this spring. With this squad we hope to do better than last year. Two of the boys, Ray Leavitt and Lorrimer Hodges, went to the state track meet at Orono last spring. We hope to have more boys participating in the state meet this year. Q Q A ,
