- 'ww 'Ulm' My Cross Countr This was a good season. We beat some really good teams and we got beat by some. It was a midway sea- son. Although they didn't win, the team still scored well in the big meets. In the Washington meet, that had 20 teams competing, we were in the top ten. We beat a num- ber of good teams, but unfortunately we didn't win. We had some very good competition and some tough teams, coach Robert Osburn said. We didn't hit them face on, Os- burn commented, but his team still managed to finish fourth overall this season out of nine teams behind Mo. Baptist, Park and Westminister. In- spite of the injuries which accompa- nies every season, Osburn said he was pleased overall. Anthony Free- man, Peter Kraft, Dee Dee Young and Robin Yeoman received men- tion by Osburn by putting out what he called outstanding perfor- mance .

Men's Track We had a good season, placing 4th in the Indoor out of 8 teams, running pretty good. That's how S B- of O track coach Robert Osburn summed up his 1985 indoor season. Even though Osburn felt that they didn't have the depth in the events he would liked to have had, he felt that because of some good athletes they were able to hold their own and place well. Osburn said that the real highlight of the season was Loxely Walters be- ing named to the N.A.I.A. All Ameri- can Team. Walters placed 2nd in the triple jump at the N.A.I.A.
