Girls Tennis Good tennis means never having to say you're sorry , as stated by a member of South's 1974-75 girls' ten- nis team. Highlighting the season was the Junction City tournament in which every girl placed and brought home a medal. Out of five teams entered, South lost first place by only one point to Junction City and returned with its first girls' tennis trophy. In the first CKL ever held in girls' tennis, sophomore Val Block placed second in singles oneg while senior Cindy Ayre placed fourth in singles two. The enthusiastic spirit of Coach Eloise Lynch and many hours of hard practice determined South's most successful year in girls' tennis. 186 girls' tennis

Cross Countr With Hays High and Great Bend joining the C.K.L. this year Salina South's cross country team was vaulted into a league of higher qua- lity runners. Regardless of this, they entered their season with earnest hopes of being top contenders in state competition. The season began on a good note when ten seasoned veterans reported for the first practice. Mike Coburn, Jim Kiernan, Jim Shea, Roy Gutscher, Bruce Elliott, Bruce Lyon, Paul VanArsdale, David Shea, Rick Messer, and Mark Zimmerman com- posed the returning HA team. Throughout the Wamego, Great Bend, Junction City, McPherson and our own invitational, the team placed in the acceptable, but not outstand- ing category. Not until the Hays meet, where we placed third out of thirteen teams did South jell. Jim Shea ran for a personal triumph, running a time of 10:08. He broke Jim Coburnis old senior record set in 1973. Burying their pre-Hays invita- tional finishes, South rounded out a year of fine running with a remarka- ble second place finish in CKL. The sophomore record, previously held by Joe Stratton at 10:36 was litterally demolished by Mike Coburn, who ran an astounding 9:54. A fifth place in regional competi- tion, catapulted Coburn into the state meet. Placing 13th in the Kan- sas State Cross Country Meet, Mr. Coburn wrapped up the most suc- cessful season in South's history. Reviewing the season, the men set 2 class records, brought home 20 me- dals and hauled in their first major trophy. Track women, Barbara Vince and Jill Cyr contributed 7 sophomore girls records and succesfully com- peted in the first year girls were al- lowed to do so. 1- WL.
