Coach Ron Houser said, The program is going down the tubes. He said the team has had a poor freshman turnout for three years in a row. Only Rick Guzman and Dane Thorliefson will return next year with the rest of the team graduating. However, Coach Houser said all that is needed is to have a couple more runners and Marcos de Niza would have a good team. It's discouraging to put that much time into cross country and not have that many people come out. lf you can get four or five guys who are willing to do the work and stay with you from the time they are freshmen, you'lI have a good team. 182-Cross country Fufure doubtful for cross-counf X se WS?
