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 .

YOUNG AND FRESH JV AND VARSITY VOLLEYBALL TEAMS GRADUATED FROM THE SEASON MORE EXPERIENCED FOR THE COMING YEAR FRONT ROW: Stephanie Cash, Nora Norum, Pam Gleason, SECOND ROW: Mary Coach Matt Steffes, Manager Karen Sole, Donna Kious, BACK Row: Lori Lundberg, Jah Thompson, Leslie Quakenbush, Ruth Milan. ,..W..,., , 4 W... ........ ,,,,.,,,,, Mid-August signified the start of the 1978 girls volleyball season, a season that was to prove vastly different from the previous one. The team suffered the loss of six varsity team members as well as the individual loss of its Head Coach, Ruth Scanlan. The team had only five returning varsity players and many new members had to be recruited. Matt Steffes stepped up as Head Coach and used the skills he had acquired as Assistant Coach to develop the potential of the relatively young and inexperienced team. While West Valley's varsity team was comprised of younger players and was less experienced than others, the remaining teams in Region VI were older and typically more experienced, giving the West spikers fierce competition. West battled vigorously and managed to come away with three wins in the season. Due to the promotion of several top junior varsity players to the varsity team, the junior varsity was left slightly short handed. Although they were hurt by this loss, they still battled gallantly and attained three wins. The many returning players feel confident they will volley toward a better season next year. Special congratulations go to. sophomore, Lori Meier, who was selected from West to be a member of the.AIl-Region Team.
