These are the members of the cross coun- try squad, and they are among the hardest-working athletes at Prospect. A typical cross country practice would have the boys running at least five miles. This grueling exercise pre- pared them for maximum effort in meets. The team finished with an overall record of 7-5. ln conference competition Pros- pect had a 5-2 record with third place in the conference.
