The 1978 cross-country season proved to be a fruitful one for the Wolfpack harriers, who established themselves as the major power in Region VI. Both the boys and girls teams reigned undefeated through the regular season and emerged from the Regional meet as undisputed champions. Junior lan White was in the limelight for the boys as he breezed through the season winning every race he entered, culminated by a strong fourth place finish at State. Senior captain Micky Schruf paced the girls team through their unbroken string of victories, beating her Lathrop archrival Karen Cole in three of five meetings, including Regionals, and taking eleventh place at State. The boys team, with captain Miguel LaFleur at the helm, took their brilliant record into the Regional meet as the overwhelming favorites. And overwhelm they did, sweeping the top six places for the second straight year and earning the spot to represent Region Vl at the State Meet in Palmer. The girls fared much the same, unseating defending champs Lathrop for the Region title. West journeyed to Palmer bursting with confidence and came away with fourth place for both boys and girls. A few of the runners were disappointed with this showing, but Coach Sprague remained positive. He was satisfied with the entire 1978 season, as it was an improvement over the year before, especially for the girls. Says Sprague, lt was a good season, but not as good as next year when we win State! Strong minded freshman Brian Scarborough darts through the trees. , 'f S xi i5s'ff.es.t 3 1' swf 'ttf Ts .
