Boys' Cross Country CROSS COUNTRY Row 1: L. Schon, S. Friedman, R. Alterman. Row 2: B. Florio, N, Hart. Missing: T. Kornbluh, D. Winograd, E. Burrows. Coming off two consecutive seasons as League Cham- pions, the 1977 Cross Country team concluded its schedule with a mediocre record of 3-3. Edgemont lost its top three runners on last year's squad and thus had a rather inexperienced team. Coach E. I. Ross's most consistent runner all season long was Senior Bob Florio. An All League Honorable Selec- tion, Bob never finished less than second place in dual meets. Captain Rich Alterman was the supporting factor on the squad. At the Sports Award Dinner, he was awarded the fifth annual Harrier Award. Other consistent performers on the team were Seniors Steve Friedman, Tom Kornbluh, and Lew Schon.
