New Coach And Harriers Face Longer Distance Quality rather than quantity was the under- laying theme of this year's cross country team. Although small in numbers, the individual squad members were rewarded often with no- ticable improvement in times, from meet to meet. In his first year as CC coach, Mr. Gary Boles was gratified with the fact, It was very satisfying to see all members improving their times and ending the season with measurable improvement. For the first time the cross country course was increased in distance by one mile. Coach Boles commented, It was good because it set apart more clearly the distance runner from the sprint type runner, A first place in the St. Mary's Invitational and a third in the Colorado Invitational high- lighted the team,s progress this year. The best running time was turned in by Scott King with a 16.48 followed by David Martinez with a 17.16. Team captains were Kurt Gammill, and David Martinez. A-M 'ttt we ....,w...

Frustration Describes 1977-78 Basketball Season Even in the face of adversity, the Coronado Cougars always give their best effort. This is illustrated in many ways. One way was in the last game of the season, when the Cougars extended Doherty, the number two team in the league, to double overtime before falling by two points. Another illustration of the competitive nature of the Cougars was another double overtime loss to Palmer, who was tied for second place in the league. The best illustration, and the hardest to take, were the six defeats that came within the last three seconds of each game. Also the fact that the average point difference for nine losses was only three points. Two highlights of the season were the two wins against Pueblo Central and Wasson, the first and fourth place teams in the South Central League and were both ranked third in state polls at the time of their defeat. In Coach Powel1's opinion, this was one of the finest seasons, despite the won-loss record, since the entire squad was willing to put forth their best efforts in prac- tice as well as in the games. Co-captains this year were Bob Carter and Don Mill- er. Trainer was Captain Dale Condit, and Statistician and Counselor was Reverend John Watts. as-g 'H Don Miller drives down the court for a basket.
