Collins leads team to 5th at regionals With only four returning seniors, Dan Collins, Gary Lynch, Bob Earnshaw, and By- ron Robertson, the boys cross country team used this season as a building season. The high- light of the year was the team's placing 5th at regionals with Dan Collins finishing 6th and Byron Robertson taking llth. The freshman turnout was the best in five years with Dave Ramirez and l oe Rogue ad- vancing to varsity level. The team was the youngest boys team ever to advance to sectionals. l was really pleased with the way the boys worked together and how the seniors helped the younger members. I was also happy that we made it to sectionalsf' stated Coach lim Yamka. The team had a difficult year in that they suffered a few dis- appointments such as not mak- ing it to state. This season has definitely been a tough one both in terms of keeping the team's spirit up and staying free of injury, commented Robertson. The l.V. team was confer- ence champs and had an over- all record of 7-2.
