Harriers Excel In Relays Superior relay performances characterized the 1965 Cross Country team. Patriot harriers would have taken first place in the Cleveland Heights Invi- tational, if an unfortunate mishap had not occured. Although Mike Groenke, George Baronak, and Jon Fisher won the first three positions for a Valley Forge sweep, Mike Groenke was disqualified from the race because he skipped a marker. The junior varsity placed fourth at Cleveland Heights and second in the St. Joseph relays. In the regular meets the harriers did not fair so Well. George Baronak and Mike Groenke attempted to pull the team along with outstanding perform- ances, however, the only Patriot victories were against Shaw and Cleveland Heights. In the words of Coach Mindek, the team just did not have the depth necessary for a winning season. Sophomores Fred Hague lengthens his stride while passing a tiring Parma opponent.

J .V.'s Extend Winning Tradition Under the experienced guidance of Mr. Preising, Mr. Cangelosi, and Mr. Courey, the Valley Forge junior varsity football squad continued its four-year victory campaign with a season record of eight victories and two defeats. The compiled junior varsity record over the four seasons is 39-7-1. However, achieving a successful record is not the main goal of junior varsity football. The most signifi- cant aim is to provide valuable experience for the sophomores. Preparation for grueling varsity competi- tion demands perseverance, knowledge of football technique, precision, and determination. The victori- ous season displayed that the sophomores will carry their talents to the varsity next year. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL - Bottom Row: T. Mazzo, L. Fox, P. Noll, B. Djordjevic, D. Calaway, B.
