Crosse Country Although the '72 oss country season ended with a heartbreakillg loss, it can only be re- membered as a major triumph for Coach Keith Hurdstrom and his runners. The Pacers won 12 of 13 meets, w'th the one loss coming at the hands of the tclp-rated Centennial Eagles. Consistently ahead of the pack for Lakeridge were Tony Keller and Tom Gleason. Gleason came on strong late in the season and took first in most of the later meets. But no team can win with only? two star runners. In this category, Coach Hurdstrom was probably the strongest. Senior leff Jones, Juniors Steve Richardson, Jay Khab, Doug Voderberg and Vince Meurlotte teamed up with Sophomore ace Mike McGriff to make the Pacers virtually unbeatable during the season. After finishing sedond at district, Lakeridge went to regionals favored to win. But Keller and Gleason, bothlsick, were unable to place high. The best the Pacers could do was finish third, with Wilco All-Star Mike McGriff taking fifth and Ken Robinette coming in the top ten. It was a fine second year for Coach Hurd- strom, In addition to building a record that will be hard to bryak, he placed five runners in the league all-stars. Robinette, Richardson, Gleason, and McGriff will be returning with only Tony Keller lost to graduation. Top: Tom Gleason anli Tony Keller pick up the pace against league champion Centennial.
