Cross Country Begins
The Rocky Mount Cross
Country team started its 1974
season September 12 at
Wesleyan College against
Wilson. They were defeated
by a score of 44 to 17.
Running the 2.2 mile track
for RMSH were Lee Toler,
Mike Avent, Mark Hayden,
Robert Privott, and William
Grey. Wilson had 13 runners
in this event. Lee Toler
finished in fifth place, which
was the highest for the
Gryphons. Mike Avent was
close behind in sixth place.
Finishing third for the
Gryphons and tenth in the
race was William Grey.
Cross country differs
from regular track in that you
don’t just run around a flat
track again and again, but you
run over holes, grass, hills,
and anything else that gets in
your way.
The score is kept in cross
country as in golf. The lowest
score wins. Points are given
according to finishes in the
race.
The course is usually
about 2.5 miles long. The
sport is very demanding and
excellent preparation for an
athlete for other sports.
For you people who, have
the stamina to run cross
country, it’s not too late. If
you would like to go out,
contact Coach Stan Bastain.
Members of the Cross Country team are: Coach Stan
Bastian, Mark Hayden, Lee Toler, (kneeling) William Gray, Mike
Avent. Missing is Robert Privott.
The members of the girls’
: tennis team and the cross
: country team need everyone’s
; support. The players practice
j long and hard each day ard
I are worthy of the school’s
: support. The least that the
students of RMSH could do is |
attend the matches. Thei
members of both teams-:
agreed that it is much easier:-:
to win when supporters areij;
present. So, give thesei;
players your support. >:

Tennis Season Begins Well With 6 Wins
In this age when women
are gaining more momentum
in sports, the girls’ tennis
team is placing its claim for
equality. Led by their coach,
Miss Judy Bradshaw, the
members of the team are
proving to the school that
they, too, mean business.
Already, the tennis team
holds an impressive record for
the season. They stand six

back to win the next six
matches beating Goldsboro,

One problem that the

not attend the matches. The
matches are played at Sunset
Park and it does not cost to
watch. So, get out and support
the girls’ tennis team.
