LONELINESS AND CAMARADERIE Cross country at O ' Connell is a mixture of loneliness and camaraderie. Cross country com- bines the solitude of the disciplined athlete with the competitive association of the team man. Un- like other team sports there is nothing akin to blocks, assists or baton passing. During a meet hundreds of yards often separate Knight harriers. The runner is on his own, pitted against himself and others. Strangely, too, your own teammates are opponents. For there is only one objective in this sport: to finish the course as soon and as fast as one can. In aiming for individual success, the harrier best fosters team victory. Such is the ra- tionale of Eaheart, Maier, Dugan, Mross, Scott and Woods. The loneliness and the camaraderie are a partial explanation of our four time MCL champs. THE 64-6. ; CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM; P.

WRESTLERS SET WINNING PRECEDENT SPORTSMANSHIP The 1964-65 wrestling team achieved the best record in O ' Connell ' s three years of varsity competition. Coached by Gene Posati, the team compiled a record of ten wins and four losses. Although losing three matches early in the season to Northern Virginia schools, the team jelled in mid-January, winning seven straight matches. In this seven match streak the Knights won convincingly, never losing more than two bouts in any match. The climax of the season came with a record break- ing win in the Saint Alban ' s Invitational Tournament. The Knights, placing nine men in the finals, rolled up 102 points, 40 more than second place Woodberry Forrest, the defending champions. Individual cham- pions were Chuck Westcott, Danny Bruch and Mike Higgins. In addition, second place awards were taken by six O ' Connell wrestlers. When the season ended, wrestling had come of age at O ' Connell. The varsity bequeathed to future squads both an impressive season log and a champion ' s status. To twist Grantland Rice a bit, what could be better than to play the game, and win it, too. 7sry;???sss!WWN »;T «T;;r??w??:!5! TO5AR! yield final VICTORY and EFFORT 62
