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.

Row 3: Coach Cipviano, E. Honig, D. Solomon, B. Swersey. Missing: M. Wachs, P. Lin- dau, A. Pearl. Row 1: Coach Bu Roberts, R. Gusi suko, B. Low Gladstone, R. Ste Bacher, S. Weinste Klein, E. Laufer. M D. Bolotsky, I. Stra Peluffo. Led by coach joseph Cipriano, the l.V. Soccer team finished a respectable 1977 season with a 5-5-3 record. After three early wins, prospects for a winning season were excellent. However, a loss to a tough Blind Brook team disheartened many Edgemont players. The loss marked a turning point after which the team slid into a six game winless period. Though frustrated by three ties, the team picked up two additional wins for an even .500 record. The l.V. squad was severely impaired by the loss of many key players to the Varsity team. However, strong performances by Adam Gluckman, replacing Glen Gypson at halfback, and David Chao, filling in for star goalie, lon Libman, proved sufficient to compensate for those losses. Other important figures on the soccer field included Alan Crystal, whose two penalty shots lifted the team to a crucial victoryg Steven Post, whose hustle provided the backbone to the team's defense, and Peter Glass, whose consistent, aggressive play at inner set up many scores. In addition, Tony Griffen, armed with a deadly outside shot, and Mike Wachs, dribbling with excellent ball control, provided another offensive combination. 147 Y i ck, D ck, S Bloom.
