It was -a veteran cross country team that ran third against city competition to achieve an unequaled record for Cody. Endurance and stamina were the key to victory for Comet pace-setters as they outclassed Northeastern and Central in the opening meet of the season. North- westem, too, could not equal their pace and fell behind as Cody harriers out- distanced the Colts 18-48. In the season's third encounter, Comet thinclads streaked across the finish line for a 20-35 victory over the Cooley Cardinals. Hopes for a second undefeated season were dimmed, however, as Redford bettered Cody's most determined efforts to win the last dual meet 18-61. In the race for the West Side League title, Cody placed second only to swift Huskie opposition. Redford also took first in all-city competition as well. And Comet harriers, barely edged by an experienced Pershing squad who placed second, captured third in the city-finals to climax their most successful season.

Comet trackmen took an early lead in the race for the 1958 Metropolitan League title, but soon fell behind to score among the last. Backed by the experience of several successful seasons, Cody set out to capture west side and city honors for the third straight year despite successive injuries. Off to a running start, early in spring, Comet thinclads by-passed Western 4492-2699. In the second meet, however, Southwestern cut the tape just ahead of Cody for a 46-45 triumph. Losing to Fannington, Cody continued to lose ground. The lack of veteran thinclads began to show and additional injuries dimmed Comet spirits along with a third defeat at the hands of Northwestern 63115-4396. In a sudden burst of speed, Cody sped past Chadsey, 60-49, for a second victory. Rounding out a rather unsuccessful season, Cody trackmen then stumbled to a 64M -45M defeat against Denby.
