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 .

Coach Peter Roberts times and checks records. AHS TANKER' Leading the AHS tankers to a 7-l mark, Captains Tom Bowes and john Stosick broke both pool and school records. Bowes swam the lO0-YD. Butterfly in l:O5.2 Qschool recordj in addition to breaking the pool record with 1:06. Stosick found his place in the record books by coming through with a 1:03 time in the lOO-YD. Backstroke Cschool recordj and 2:34. l in the 200-YD. Individ- ual Medley Relay. Competing in the team medley were Stosick, Ron Scudder, Bowes, and Greg Granum, who set a school record with l:52. 3 and a pool record of l:56. Practicing from 3 to 5 each day, the swimmers were coached by Peter Roberts who was new in Alpena this year. They pro- vided other schools with much competition, losing only one meet to Essexville whom they had previously defeated. The senior members accrued the ma- jority of points in each meetg however, swimming enthusiasts believe next year's team will come through with another out- standing season. Meets bring the glory of victory .... the agony of defeat. bus . W Cf I k Um: .. ,fr Ki J Y tW.!' , 1 If K ,Q . if N
