g g ,, ., ,.., . . Nm, ,,,, ,.- u t for Kick 1 I The Freshman Soccer Team had a highly competitive 1982 season, finishing their season with a record of 4-4-7. The team was coached by Br. Verre, and Freshman Soccer was a good experience for all who participated. All involved look forward to playing next year as Sophomores. The Sophomore Soccer team finished an average year with a record of 8-6-5. The team was coached by Mr. O'Leary, who has been coaching for 7 years. Coach O'Leary thought the sophomores had played well, and were very spirited. He said that they could have won all of their games if they would have shown more ag- gressiveness, but that will come with ex- perience. Coach O'Leary also added that the Sophomores under Coach Kearney will be one of the best teams St. Laurence has ever had. 156 f Soccer 1. , . -A7 -uv W I . . . f' a r A A . th iscci ,fe 144522 F . -' , rms... ,Qgvt +715 ' M Top Left: The Freshman Soccer Team: fback rowj T.

I1St21tC The Varsity Cross Country team had a very successful 1982 season. Lead by co- captains James Moran and James Roach, the team advanced to the sectional meet for the seventh year in a row. The team, which was coached by Mr. Murphy, com- piled a winning record of 10-2. The-team,s invitational record was: LaGrange, 8th, Gordon Tech, 4th, Argo, 7th, Oak Park Sth, and Crete-Monee, 26th. Until the last three weeks of the season, the team was inconsistent in its top seven runners. With only two weeks left before Catholic League, the team's number one runner was spiked and possibly out for the rest of the season. When the week of Catholic League finally came around, the team pulled itself with the help of sophomores Mike Mann- ing and Mike Markham. The team took 4th in Catholic League behind state power houses St. Ignatius, Gordon Tech, and Loyola. A week later at Districts, the team made its best showing ever, taking second, which qualified them to advance to the Sectional meet. At Sectionals, the team took 8th, which, unfortunately, wasn't good enough to advance to State, However, Pat Tierney finished 8th over- all, which sent him to the State meet where he took 47th place. Pat was the first runner in St. Laurence history to go down state. Once again, Chris O'Donnel1 broke the school record at Bull Frog Lake, with a time of 15:42, breaking his own record which he had set one year earlier as a sophomore. The future looks bright for Cross Coun- try, with 5 of the top 7 runners returning for the 1983 season. The 1983 team will be led by tri-captains Bill Collins, Chris O'Donnell, and Pat Tierney.

The team was coached by Mr. Kearney who commented, The team played well, but due to inexperience and a lack of a consistent goal scorer, ran into difficulties. The team, which was lead by co- captains S. Dunmore, C. Jeske, and S. Ziz- zo, did have some outstanding players. Jeske, Dummore, and McNamara, who Top Left: The Varsity Soccer Team. fbottom rowj C.
