Five Star Conference Summary Dec 31, 1969

Cross country is practiced by the freest of spirits. Nowhere is that more evident than in the 5 Star Conference.  Comprised of nine teams from Volusia and Flagler Counties, its athletes come in contact with each other on an almost weekly basis.  In between formal events, such as beach runs, multi-team meets, the Deland Invitational, and two levels of conference championships, there is contact by Facebook, e-mails, and even some budding romances…although I have no personal knowledge of the latter. The result has become a giant web of friendships that radiate outwards, beyond their respective high schools, and even transcend the season.
