ROSTER Bogart, David FI Goodwin, Richard Fr Haugh, Paul Fr Herman, Vince Fr Koltz, Thomas Fr Quattrone, Joseph Sf, Rosencranse, Loren Sr, Unger, Allen Fr . The 1968 Cross Country team ended its season with a third place finish at the Empire State Conference meet held in conjunction with the Region III meet at Cobleskill. At this meet the harriers avenged regular season defeats at Broome Technical and Hudson Valley Community Colleges. With all but two meets on away courses, the team got off to a slow start, posting a two win eight lost regular season record. The team's main strength was its balance. This especially was demonstrated at the Broome Tech meet. Although defeated by one point, Alfred had eight runners across the finish line before Broome's fifth man. Senior captain Joe Quattrone paced the team by coming across the finish line ahead of his teammates on tive occasions. He also was the second Alfred runner at three meets and was third at one other. Joe was the only Alfred Tech harrier to win individual meet honors during the season. Running in a snowstorm Quattrone outdistanced everyone in the Canton Tech meet winning in the excellent time of 18:47. Running close on the heels of Quattrone were Freshmen Dave Bogart, Allen Unger and Vince Herman. Bogart took team honors at four meets, was second once and third three times. Unger came in before his teammates at one meet while finishing second six times and third at three meets. Vince Herman consistently was the fourth Alfred runner across the line. Paul Haugh and Loren Rosencrance unually vied for the fifth pos1t10n with Freshmen Dick Goodwin and Tom Koltz coming on strong tO challenge the front runners. Barring unforseen circumstances Alfred Tech's cross country team should have a good nucleus back for the 1969 season and will be lookmg to improve on its 1968 season record. Ca.. .l Q . 9 171

Under the guidance of Coach Winterhalter, the team played its second season under very adverse conditions, at times, very heavy rain and wet fields. They emerged with 5-4-1 record. This record compared with the 1967 record of 2-5, indicated that Alfred Tech's soccer team, with practice, determination and cooperation could well qualify to rank with soccer powers such as Monroe Community College and Canton Tech. Two early games of the season against four-year varsity squads, saw Alfred Tech stop Alfred University 5-3 and hold a strong Houghton College team to a 4-4 tie. By mid-October the tech bootershad compiled a 4-1 record. In one of the finest games of the season, Alfred suffered its frst defeat by the Region III champs of 1967, Monroe Community College. Monroe found Alfred Tech's boys a near equal on the field. In six previous games opposing teams managed to 'cdent the net only twice. With five minutes Of playing time remaining, the score was Monroe 5, Alfred 4. Monroe, however scored two quick- goals to place an Alfred win out-of-reach. The game ended with one winnerg but there was actually no loser. ' This yearls squad had good balance between Freshman and Senior boys. Gene Basualdo, was chosen for the second team on the Region III NJ All-Regional Soccer team, with Andy Telarico and Steve Sn1ith.IeC61V1H3 honorable mention. To list the names of all the men who confrlbufed to the success of the season would necessitate listing the name, of every man On the team. May it be enough to say, c'Great work, fell0WS- ggwygpmf-we
