Boys Cross Country
The boys cross country team began in the fall of 1968 with one runner, junor Steve Holland, who practiced at Iowa City High and ran meets as a solo entrant that year. A year later, in the fall of 1969, West High fielded a team, under the coaching of Ralph Kryder. Holland won a state championship that year in Newton.

All the little boys and girls,
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls,
Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after
The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.”
