Giddings runs off with national honors A national collegiate champion in the first year of competition would appear to leave coach Dick Fuenning and the Gaucho cross country squad without much to look forward to. But that isn't the name of the game in cross count- ry. Each man has personal and team goals which are never met. Cross country men must battle not only an opponent but also themselves. An indication of the self discipline necessary is the daily training schedule. Each man runs six miles in the morning fol- lowed bya minimum of eight miles after classes. Weekends, the run- ners cover a total of twenty miles. With preparation like this, what's a little matter of 3 or 4 miles? ClVlost meet courses fall in this range.J Highlight of the season has to be the trip to Pensacola, Florida, and a second place finish in the National Junior College Champ- ionship lVleet. Ricks College of Idaho took top honors. Scott Gid- dings gave Glendale its first nat- ional champion, setting a course record in the time of 14:52. I

Dear Gauchos: Here in Pensacola, the boys and I have had some trouble adjusting to the humidity, rain, southern ac- cents, and grits. We have found some time for sightseeing, visiting the Pensacola Naval Station, Fort San Carlos, and the aircraft carrier, Lexington. We were really impres- sed with the Navy. Determined to do well in the meet, we found ourselves compet- ing against 176 runners represent- ing over 3O colleges from all over the USA. Thirteen of the teams were unbeaten and an equal num- ber of runners had been unbeaten personally all season. Starting in front of Pensacola JC, the boys broke very fast. After M of a mile, they hit a sandy trail through a pine forest. Ed Gillespie and Joe Cameron were among the leaders at the 2 mile mark, but became ill when the humidity got to them. But they continued to run.
