PERRY LECOMPTON This was to be the boys' best meet of the season, finishing 2nd as a team. FERGUSON did especially well be- cause he finished 3rd. His winning time was 11:03. SILVER LAKE Because they were running against some of the best teams in the entire state and in a steady downpour of rain, the team didn't fare very well. They finished 6th, and only POKOR- NEY, who finished 20th, and FERGU- SON, who finished 28th, received in- dividual medals. LEAGUE With Mission Valley taking 2nd and Osage City winning, the boys fin- ished a very strong 3rd at this meet. POKORNEY medaled by finishing 6th with a time of 11:44, and HURTIG medaled with a time of 12:08 and placed 14th. REGIONALS Finishing their season with a 5th place finish at Regionals, none of the runners qualified for the state meet, though FERGUSON, POKORNEY, and HURTIG almost attained the privilege of running in it. COACHES COMMENTS l think that the boys' team was suc- cessful in maintaining our strong cross country tradition. With only two seniors on the boys' team, it should be strong next year. l think the quality of the cross country team is always outstanding. The only thing keeping the program from being real- ly outstanding is the numbers out for the sport. We have too many people in the student body that could be really great runners but do not go out for the team.

Stiff competition and pouring rain splinter team's hopes of placing first at home meet WAMEGO As a team the boys ran well at this meet by placing 5th against several teams such as Osage City, Belleville, Horton, Sabetha, Mission Valley, Rossville, St. Marys, Wabaunsee, and Basehor. KEVIN POKORNEY junior, JIM HURTIG sophomore, and BRUCE FERGUSON senior all re- ceived individual medals. ROSSVILLE Once again the boys placed 5th as a team with FERGUSON and POKOR- NEY winning medals. Earning his medal, FERGUSON finished a strong 12th. MISSION VALLEY Although the team didn't place very well, this meet was especially excit- ing because the runners ran through the Harveyville Fair. Because FER- GUSON finished 5th and HURTIG fin- ished l6th, the team placed 4th in the meet. POKORNEY also medaled, coming in 22nd. HORTON Just one point away from taking 2nd place, the boys finished 4th while 2nd and 3rd placed tied. FERGUSON finished 4th, POKORNEY 14th, HUR- TIG l9th, and BRANDENBURG sen- ior 20th.
