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:
“In time, after a dozen years of centering their lives around the games boys play with one another, the boys’ bodies change and that changes everything else. But the memories are not erased of that safest time in the lives of men, when their prime concern was playing games with guys who just wanted to be their friendly competitors. Life never again gets so simple.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“If I can cross him any way, I bless myself every way.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
