The winner had 29 points. Individually, Kieth Pickett, Kirk Oxford, and Scott Wrisley finished 24th, 47th, and 50th respectively with times of 16:22, girls workout was just as rough averaging about seven miles a day. Six meets occured throughout the fall. The boys ran a three mile course and the girls a 2 mile. The boys placed consistently in the top four teams during the season. We were real hap- py about the season, said Coach Hugh Hamm. At the District Meet, the teams raced for the Regional Meet in Abilene. It was the highlight of the . 16:54, and 16:55. After Cross Country, the teams moved towards the track season in spring with hopes of finishing just as strong. Robbie Ondrusek.
