VARSITY CROSS-COUNTRY team members. Doug Brenneman, Bill McClellan, Barry Clayton, Allen Britton. and Jeff Berven, jog another 880. JEFF BERVEN, captain of the '63 team. eagerly awaits the starting gun at the Pueblo Invitational. Wasson's Distance Runners Coached by Mr. Jerrold Robinson, the distance team placed a high third at the S.C.L. conference meet. Al- though the team placed second at this meet last season, it was generally felt that competition was considerably stiffer this year. The season, as a whole, was the best in the history of Wassonfs cross-country teams. A very high eleventh was scored at the State Meet, while impressive, firsts, seconds, and thirds were scored at other major meets. Captain Jeff Berven waslthe year's outstanding, runner, and is, no doubt, the best Wasson runner to date. He placed first in five of the meets he entered, and placed third at, the State Meet, also tying the existing state record for the mile and a half at the Aurora Invitational. Bill McClellan and Jeff Berven were the only returning lettermeng as a result of this, the team was relatively in- experienced at the start of the season. With the aid of Allen Britton, Barry Clayton, and Doug Brenneman, how-' ever, the team was well balanced. The turnout of prospective runners exceeded that of all previous years. Because of this interest, a B-Squad was formed, with Mr. Rex Miller as coach.
