C.C. looking at winning future The Mariner team of I977 will feature young quality runners. Their success to a great extent will depend upon how much they mature through the summer months, re- marked Coach Price about the Boys' Cross Country team. The Marauder runners received fifth in Wesco and sixth in the district tournament this year. Some of the outstanding runners were cap- tain Dan Blanchard, Doug Anderson, who won the Most Improved Award and Golden Foot Award, and Mike Madin, Most In- spirational. Coach Price said, The outlook for the fu- ture will be for another winning squad from Mariner. Top page 28, Mike Madin catches his last breath before the finish in their meet.

Swimmers nab Wesco Crown Forty marauding members earned for Mari- ner the right to retain the Western Confer- ence girls' swimming trophy for the second consecutive year. The swim team recorded the first undefeated season in the history of Mariner athletics, and placed second in the Northwest Region. The girls broke a few team records, and several girls made names for themselves on the sub-club boards. These include: Kellye McKinna in the 50 and l00 yard freestyle events, Vikki Grutchfield in the 500 free, Kim Cotton, Kristy Soderman, Liz Anderson, and McKinna in the 400 free relay, Anderson in the 200 free, and K. Soderman in the 'l0O freestyle event. Divers Becky Hudson and Debbie Hanson also made the boards. Departing seniors, swimming through their final season of 6 a.m. turnouts, two to three hour Saturday practices, and ever increasing yardage are co-captains Crutchfield and C. Soderman, B. Knappert, K. Wall, L. Haley, N. Marquez, and S. Morehouse. Senior divers are Hudson and P. Weis. The team was adeptly coached by Mr. Dick Watson and Mrs. Kris Vandersanden. Says Watson, This year's team has worked longer and harder than any previous girls' swim team. Their yardage was up one third over past years: This proves a point in dedication.
