Cross Country Records A Successful Season Salida's Spartan Harriers placed fourth out of seven teams entered in the Spartan Invita- tional Cross Country meet with Kris Kropp's eighth place being the only one in the top ten for the Spanans. The Spartans took fifth at Broomfield which was consid- ered one of the top meets of the season and probably the largest meet besides State with 20 to 25 teams entered. The Spartans did not perform is well as expected at the State meet in Pueblo placing twelfth, thus being outclassed by other Pikes Peak League teams. Coached by Leland Skow, Salida's Cross Country team had a noncommittal season winning trophies for first place at Lake County, and second place at Buena Vista. The team showed definite improvement over last year, according to Skow. Seniors Kris Kropp, Ron Lee- waye, and Vernon Hart led the team to its successful season. The trio was the backbone of the team with each of the three coming in either first, second, or third in nearly every meet. Coach Skow feels that the program is looking promising for next year. There were over twenty runners out this year which displays increasing inter- est in Cross Country. 26

Girls9 Volleyball Posts First Season The girls' volleyball team had its beginning this year coached by Patty Gilbert. Even though they were defeated in every league game, they were victorious in some non-league competition. The league teams were expe- rienced having had at least four years of playing compared to the Salida team which was in its first season. However, when playing teams with two years experi- ence the Spartans did quite well beating such teams as Coto- paxi, Creed, and Monte Vista. One bright spot for the inex- perienced Spartans was Laurie Smith who was chosen out of six girls as outstanding player in the Del Norte tournament in which Salida place a laudable third.
