At the other end ol the field goalkeeper Doug Olken set a new team record with six shut-outs (one better than the previous season record).

WINDWARDIAN r{oii«Ni i» Cross Country • ' -• ' « ' ■■ ' 1 What - Us Make the Playoffs? 1985 turned out to be a rebuilding year. Six of the 12 team members were rookies and a seventh, Danny Horowits, rejoined the team after a two-year absence. Undoubtedly the season will be remembered for the outstanding preformances by team captain, Gabe Ganor. After an early season loss at Pasadena Poly he went undefeated through the next ten races, including an historic victory against Brent- wood School-the first ever by a Windward runner. In Liberty League competition he was invincible lor two straight seasons and won the League ' s MVP award two years in a row. Seniors Kenny Salkin and Kaz Mc Coy set a fine example for the rest of the team and were rewarded for their hard work with places on the school ' s all-time, top-ten list of times recorded at Mar Vista Park. Chris Templeton, Jonathon Landreth, Brent Lewis, Todd Czerwinski and Kevin Brent deserve special credit for rousing themselves, sleepy-eyed during the Catalina block to run three miles before dawn.
