C.H.S. Harriers Win Second League Title Under the new coach, Mr. Conrad Bruce, this year’s cross country team concluded the season with a record of five wins and no losses in the dual (two team) and triangular (three team) meets. They also placed first in the league meet for the second year in a row. In the Class A regionals, the first five Clark-ston runners all placed under the eleven minute timing, and in the state finals, Fred Seyler placed sixteenth and Dan Dankert finished twenty-second. Seyler and Dankert both broke last year’s school records many times, one example being the new record of 10.09 in the two-mile run. Both boys were chosen for the All-County Cross Country team.
