am xperience The Spartan tankers were aided in their compe- tition by the return of many of last year's letter winners. The experience of last year enabled the 1966-1967 swimming team to make strides in each area of competition. The early stages of the season found the team a little too tense to make a strong showing. As experience was gained things began to roll, with a victory over john Glenn quickly followed by another victory over Hamtramck. One more vic- tory set the stage for the high point of the season: victories over Clarenceville and lnkster showed the Tankers displaying strength in almost all of the events. The team seemed ready to assume a domi- nant position in swimming, but this was not to be, as what has to be called a recurrent case of the heebie-jeebies struck. making the ending of the sea- son rather dismal. Much of the success of this years swim team must be attributed to the careful coaching of hir. Fctz whose instruction often made the differ- ence between victory and defeat. tllr. Fei: advises john Cores on his part of a program to im- prove all aspects of the S'll'i17tWl97'5l ability.

Stevenfon Harrier! Get Runnin Start on Foes' Stevenson was initiated into the varsity cross country fraternity by Pontiac Northern, with the aforementioned coming out on top. This was followed by a double loss to M ' N. Willow Run and lohn Glenn. Despite continued losses, the team showed remarkable improvement. The Schoolcraft In- vitational meet, held at Cass Benton Park, found the average times of the runners down for our first seven Hnishers. The harriers obtained their first victory over Willow Run. This meet again found times much improved. Things were bleak for a while with five straight losses, but in the finale against Waterford, a smashing triumph was obtained. This victory was the culmination of a long season of training, and was hopefully worth the effort expended. The agony of competition: Spartan runner Doug Gregg edges out his Waterford opponent.
