BY BRUCE THOMASSON
The Junior Varsity Cross- Country team has had three meets so far this season and has one victory and two defeats. Their only win came against E. C. Glass on September 28 with a score of 26-31. In that meet, now
varsity runners, Randy Meador and senior Bill Burns finished second and fourth respectively, with J.V.'s John Vandersydeand Mike Wherley finishing fifth and
sixth respectively.
Bill Burns has overcome
mononucleosis from the summer to become a very consistent runner. However, he is currently plagued with an injury that he
received in practice last week. Randy Meador's improvement has been remarkable, and he is currently running in the top eight on the varsity squad.
The two losses came to Fork Union by a score of 24-31 and Woodberry Forest by a score of
15-50.
The J.V. cross country team
has five meets left on their schedule and Coach Hackett feels very optimistic about the
