The Thrill Cf Victory Boys' Cross Country Wins State With A Record Low Score The Boys' Cross Country team had a very successful season by having perfect scores at all region meets and by having perfect scores against all but one county team. The majority of the season meets were victorious except when the team was defeated by Spartanburg High School, the only team in the state to defeat the Mavericks early in the season. Although Spartanburg defeated Mauldin earlier in the season, the Mauldin runners ran hard at the Furman Invitational and defeated Spartanburg in probably the most exciting race short of the State Meet. Dclmer Howell, the cross country coach, said that he trains his runners to be prepared mentally, physically, and emotionally for one single day, State Meet. Seasonal meets are exciting, he said, but State Meet is the single most important meet in the year. The state competition was a constant struggle to hold off Spartanburg runners, but by the two mile split, Mauldin had managed to get five of their runners ahead of Spartanburg's first runner. The Maverick runners continued to press the pace during the last mile in fear of getting caught by the Spartanburg pack. Not only did they hold off Spartanburg, their first five runners were in the top seven places over-all. The seven runners to represent Mauldin in the State Meet were Gary Arnold, first, Mike Cason, secondg Eric Fearn, fourth, Sean Corell, sixth, Matt Watkins, seventhg Pete Villiger, eleventh, and Ronnie Devil, twelfth. The team finished up an already-successful season with their second exciting state championship which set a state record. Gary Arnold 108 Boys Cross Country Look out!
