Cross Country 1 1 The 1970 Cross Country season ended too soon. After a dismal start, the long distance harriers came into their own in the last three meets, racking up first, third and se- cond place finishes. In a sport in which low score wins, W esty exhibited an early season tendency to roll up some alarmingly high totals before settling down in the second Itatf of tne season. Although the team didn't end the season with a win- ning record, some fine individual performances highlighted the various meets. Coach Claycomb, and the team, were disappointed by the lack of support given the sport by Westmont spectators. Mr. Claycomb pointed out at one pep rally that a cross country meet requires only twenty minutes to run, yet only a handful of students stay to watch. The effect of a big, appreciative crowd on the performance of Red and Gray athletics is well known. If Westmonfs student body wants a more successful cross country team, the student body must do its share. 15

4M Pregame huddle Although it is always more fun to win, winning isn't the major objective of a .lunior Varsity team. funior Varsity football was developed to bridge the gap between the Junior High and the varsity squads. It is here that aspiring underclassmen get the additional training and experience necessary to produce winning var- sity squads for Westmont Hilltop High School in the future years. This year's squad recorded its only win over Somerset Area in a season abbreviated by the cancellation of the finale against Cone- maugh Valley. However, Coaches Lantz and Stramanak are confident that the 1971 var- sity will be much improved with the addition of the 1970 funior Varsity performers.
