The 1966 Cross Country team led by Seniors Ron Merritt and Sam Fay was suc- cessful as a first-year sport at AHS. Coach Tom Bennett cited eight letter Winners at the close of the season. The team had a total of six meets of which only two were at home. Near the end of the season the AHS harriers placed 18th out of the 25 Class A schools in the regional tournament at Lansing. Coach Bennett is optimistic about next year's team because he will lose only two seniors, and many underclassmen from the JV squad will be competing next season. 170 CROSS COUNTRY EMERGES AT AHS NW?,,4,.f..1rM: W lv 'View-v 2, Hi ? vi - ' 5 3-1 . is E? 3 fam Fay, team cap 09 ' -' .f 4 .z.ff.s ' Gun' g li .
