as ig' ing 2 ,fic Cross country squad nabs Federation crown Returning five lettermen under the teammate leadership of Ron Fick and Don Franklin, the OU cross country team charged into the 1974 season. Finishing eighth in the Big Eight Conference the previous year, Coach J.D. Martin knew he and his squad had nowhere to go but up. The key to success in cross country is having several team members running in about the same time, said Coach Martin. lf you can have four of five guys running as a group, you can beat a lot of people. The end result of countless practices was the Conference Championships where the Sooners climbed three notches to claim fifth place. One of the high points of the season was the first place victory captured by the OU harriers at the US Track and Field Federation Championships. Under the able direction of Martin, OU's most experienced head athletic mentor who has coached for over a decade in Norman, the Sooner cross country squad was determined to climb even higher on the Big Eight totem pole. 1974 CROSS COUNTRY SCOREBOARD Arlington Invitational 2nd USTFF Championships lst Big Eight Championships 5th SOONERS 32 Arkansas 23 SOONERS 18 S.
