Young varsity runners building fast Riffs' VARSITY AND RESERVE CROSS COUNTRY-FRONT ROW: Michael Webb, Samuel Seals, James Trotter, Michael Grever, Howard Catt, athletic director. SECOND ROW: Herb Alston, Fred Beard, Charles Jackson, Nickey Edwards. THIRD ROW: Bruce McGeath, coach, James Adams, Kenneth Hendrickson, Tom Witsman, Gerald Fowlkes, Willie Strong, Jay Kleine, assistant coach. The Cross Country team this year fin- ished first above .500 for the season, run- ning with a very young team of tour soph- omores, one iunior and one senior. James Trotter, the captain of the team and also the MVP, was the only junior on the squad. James Adams, Nicky Edwards, Herb Alston, and Willie Strong, were all sophomores and Lettermen returning for next year. The Varsity loses Brad Witsman, who was the only senior on the squad. The Varsity improved throughout the season and gained valuable experience with a climax of placing second in the city at the end of the season. Lack of experi- ence did hurt the team. Coach Bruce McGeath felt the team has potential for next year. With the return- ing squad we'll have, we should turn outa highly competitive season-with alittle work! A QUICK LOOK as Tech's Cross Country team, starts one of their dual meets. l CHARLES JACKSON shows running a long time isn't all fun.

SECOND ROW: Stephanie Rodrigues, Anna Taylor, Mariorie Darden, Carol Felstein, sponsor. STATE CHAMP Dwayne Engram works on a knock- down drag-out. Eugene Johnson, city champ, Dwayne Engram, city champ, Andrew Fowlkes, city champ, and all were semistate champs too. Ray Robinson, Tom Dardin, James Bell, and Richard Johnson also proved to be the tougher of many opponents. With these and other dedicated wrestlers mak- ing up the varsity team, coach John Hurrle wrapped up another successful season. Engram had a 23-O record going into Regionals. Coach Hurrle felt with the new facility for next year in comparison to the facility of this year, the only step to take is still up! The team will lose Kenny Lee, Engram and Johnson, but has other talented wres- tlers to fill in. The Reserve Team showed they are ready to follow in the footsteps of other great Tech wrestlers. In the city meet Glen Smith, James Buckley, and Ron Clark placed first, also in the city the team placed second. The team shows much potential for next year as it consisted of half reserve and half freshmen, who would prove valuable.
