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.

Famous quotes containing the words boys, cross and/or country:
“And here we have that splendid family
I never ran to when I got depressed,
The boys all biceps and the girls all chest....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
