St. Paul 'road runners' emerge victonous take regional first, state sixth What made this year's Laker cross-country team really great? Was it the high-fashion apparel of the team mem- bers, sporting their do-rags and skin-tight sweatsuitsg or the loyal fans Cranging from two to fourteen people! who thronged the course for every meet? Maybe it was the spirited leadership of a coach like Tony Magni and a cap- tain like all-city, all-state, Jim Casazza. Regardless of the cause, St. Paulis cross-country team exhibited drive and determination potent enough to make them top competitors in the sport. At the class C-D regional meet, they proved their prowess beyond doubt by grabbing first place. But, their show of power was only beginning. Laker road runners also captured sixth in the state- meet. Team members merited two trophies and eighteen medals after working together for only two years. Through extended months of strenuous, sometimes frustrating prac- tice, the Lakers developed pride in their efforts, and the school, a tremendous pride in their team. Laker spirit rnade cross-country the fantastic success it was.
