Jason Brach, Bismark TorresrPnoto by Wayne Sal vatore Photography. he boys cross country team was slightly disappointed when they finished fifth in- stead of third in league competition. We had two people who were ineligible, and it really hurt the team, stated Coach Rich Wade. Besides league meets, the Saints also at- tended weekend invitationals in Clovis, Crystal Springs, and Pebble Beach. At Clovis, the frosh oph team placed eighth, with Craig Magness placing second. At Crystal Springs, the varsity placed fourteenth, frosh soph placed sixth with Magness coming home with second. The Saints final invitational at Pebble Beach brought the frosh soph team home with third, where Magness finished first with a meet record of 14:02, and Kevin Asano took eighteenth for varsity. However, for having such a young team the Saints man- aged to make it to the MHAL finals held at Alum Rock Park. The varsity team took sixth with Magness coming in fourth. Frosh soph finished second with Darren Love placing sec- ond and Pat Malone with a third. They then advanced to the qualifying rounds of CCS where they took ninth place. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to advance the whole team to the finals. Two individuals, Craig Magness and loe Disalvo, ran in the CCS finals. Craig Magness achieved seventeenth and was rated the second best Sophomore in CCS. Besides being the second best sophomore in CCS, Craig Magness was also the teams most outstanding runner. At the beginning of the year Magness was a middle of the pack runner, but with practice he soon made his way to the front. At the Pebble Beach Invitational, Magness set a meet and sophomore class record. Magness improved his time by a 1:23 on the duel meet course, became third best in the league, and will be favored to win league next year. I feel that I did alright, but next year 1 plan to finish first, stated Magness. This is only his second year, he's a really good runner that will be watched with high hopes next year, stated Coach Wade. All in all it was not such a bad year for this young team which only had one graduating senior. By Valerie Orsolini. (Boys' Cross O j 59
