Cross Country Runners Build Up Endurance, Balance, and Spirit Jesuitis cross country harriers racked up a fourth in district this year and earned the right to run in the state meet. In Eugene the team outran the usually strong Wy'East, effectively Winding up third in the district and best in the Wilco League. Coach John Dunn, S.J. said, Cross country continues to improve and will be very successful in the next three years. Outstanding junior runners Steve Connolly and Bill Edens, both pmae year track lettermen, headed the drive for the fourth place spot in district. Connolly placed lOth and Edens 15th out of more than one hundred competitors. Seniors Nick Carter, Rick Wagner, and returning letterman Tom Koler battled for positions on the team. Very promising runners for next year are juniors Dave Young and Phil Kaptur. Sophomore runners Tim Fitzpatrick and Jeff Lawson headed the J .V. team and occasionally ran for the varsity. The J .V. team finished strongly with a second in dis- trict. Frosh runners John Wehrly and George Filz led their team to a first place victory in district, a feat never before achieved a Jesuit. The tough, competitive running in cross country trains the har- riers to build endurance for those who run track in the spring, and for those who play basketball. VARSITY AND J.V. Lower left: Fr.

B-Ballers Start Season Cold, Rapidly Gather Momentum One wouldnit say that Jesuit High's entry into the 1969 bas- ketball wars sported a lot of experienced ball players, nor a lot of raw talent. Despite a lack of seasoned players and no one individual stand-out, this yearis crew displayed the spirit and grim determination that has marked so many Jesuit teams be- fore. Only Leo Bauer, out of four returning players, had a season average of more than three points per game. With two starters still in football uniforms six days before the first pre- season contest, it looked like a bleak future indeed. After a summer in which most members of the team took part in a summer basketball camp, Mr. Gordon Carrigan's hoop corps stayed in shape either in fall sports or agility workouts after school. Mr. Carrigan's team practiced for the first time in late November, minus football players Bauer and Brian Do- herty, and two seniors, Bruce Harrington and Bob McCabe, who were to join the team after the regular season was under- way. But Carrigan teams are perennially late starters, and after an unfortunate l5 -point loss to Wilson and an even greater de- feat at the hands of Lake Oswego, the troops settled down to hard fighting and a third uphill fight to the state tournament in as many years. , vu i' lily' Z l 'via ' 'Q 'a . . ,,- I-4. 5 f i .. . a .....-....
