After finishing a winless 1977 season, the Wolfgals got on track and produced an impressive 9-6 record. Coach Ausbrook said that she hates to lose her three starting seniors from this year’s squad. The three who will leave are Teresa Wciler, Nancy Bryan, and Ronda Cochran. However, there will be several returning underclassmen who saw varsity action and will form a strong base for next year’s team.

The younger runners placed first in the Clay City Invitational, the Cisne Invitational, and the Jr. Midland Trail Conference Tourney. The more experienced varsity harriers posted a winning record, but did not fare quite as well in the tournaments. Phillip Leib , a fifth grader, paced the Pee Wee’s 11-0 season, and he also set a new school record. Coach Dan Patridge is expectantly looking ahead to bigger and better things. With such a young team. Clay City’s future in this sport appears quite bright. PeeWeeVar.
