The A's lacked depth but boasted several individual performers which hung up new school records. The B's swept everything in sight except the Atascadero Memorial Relays in which they placed second. They won the League meet with ease, piling up 58 points to 2l for runnerup Laton. Cs took their share of the meets, however, Parlier edged them out of the league crown in which TUHS was defending champion. It was a determined bunch ot C's that traveled to Atascadero and brought back the championship trophy they had sought in two previous years.
