I spent as many as five hours a day practicing during the summer. A second place in the NEC match proved how much McClure benefited from practice. Along with the grueling mental demands of the game, were the financial demands. Coif team members required to pay a $90 00 course fee. An average set of clubs cost $200, while a pair of shoes ran between $30-$40.00. These expenses were paid by each individual team member. ”1 think it would be nice if the school paid for some of our expenses. commented senior Mark Johnston.

New harrier coach faces old problems Harriers troubled ur cross country program is unable to keep pace with other schools in the area for many reasons. said first year coach Raymond Billy. He felt one of the biggest reasons was that our school does not have a program at the Jr. High level. Lack of interest was another. Some schools had as many as forty runners, but we dressed only twelve. Because the team did not bring in money, they were forced to share uniforms and warm-ups with the “track team. Coach Billy said his team was the only team he knew whose warm-ups said “track and not “cross country . Our team was one of the only teams that relied on parents for transportation “Most schools we have seen have had busses to take them to their own course, said coach Billy. 38 Harbor 23 43 Riverside 20 40 Madison 20 31 Si lohn 26 34 Conneaut 22 42 Edgewood 20 62 Jefferson 57 62 Harbor 22 33 lit- 61 h Geneva 23 WON 0 LOST 7
