The Gordon Tech Runnin’ Rams offi- cially began their season at the Main West Central Meet. The team, howev- er, had begun pre-season running three months prior to the Main West Meet. The dedicated runners had begun to run on their own even earlier in the summer. The Cross-Country team also went on a number of outings during the summer months. We helped organize and participated in the races held by the RIIS Park Striders Club which is run by Coach Martorano. We also took a trip to Bagley, Wisconsin where some of our more experienced runners were challenged by the infamous Wyalusing ten mile run, and boy were they sore! Once the Harriers got into the pre- season running, the fun and games slowed down to a minimum, the paces got faster, and the muscles got sorer. The only thing that kept us awake in the mornings was Coach Martorano’s old saying, ““When you get up in the morning, say to yourself, ’it’s great to be alive!”” What we really looked for- ward to was the cool, refreshing feeling of jumping in California’s swimming pool after practice! Pre-season also meant trips to good old Mt. Trashmore in Evanston. You’d know why they called a dirt-covered pile of trash Mt. Trashmore when you looked at its height, or better yet, tried to run up and down it. Once a week we got the pleasure of running up and down the mountain and then running six miles back to school for a warm down. The hard work payed off for the Harriers though because little did we know that we were headed for a win- ning season. Our first race was held at Main West. The meet would be one of our hardest of the season but we ran tough and out of twenty teams entered, the GT Harriers placed a hard earned sixth. On the three mile course, we had seven guys running, however, only the top five finishers on each team count in totaling up the scores. Here we were led by Paul Peters in tenth place, followed by Terry Huebner in thirty-ninth. For our third, fourth, and fifth places, we had Norman Aranda finishing with forty-ninth, John Barsella taking fifty-first, and Tom Taylor wrap- ping it up fifth with fifty-fifth place. The Harriers were on their way and nothing could stop them. Four dual meets lay ahead for the Harriers but there weren’t any doubts in the Seniors’ minds, about who would win them. So far the Seniors had a record of thirty-four wins and zero
