Wil? Harriers Win SMA Title With the strong support of state champion Mike Gilleran, the Seaholm Harriers claimed the SMA cross country champion- ship for the second straight year. Seaholm's outstanding 6-1 record in dual meet competition is indicative of the team's quality. Opening quickly, Seaholm swept to easy victories over Groves, Ferndale, and Southfield. Only the Groves meet was close, with Seaholnfs top runner, Mike Gilleran, outdistancing all others. Taking part in the OCC Run, the Harriers captured 3rd on the strength of Gilleran's first place finish and Jim Eubanks' sixth. The Harriers suffered their only dual meet loss of the sea- son that same week against Royal Oak Kimball. Despite the fact that Gilleran smashed the Kimball course record by 35 seconds and that Jim Eubanks and Rick Appleby took 4th and 5th, Kim- ball managed to gain a narrow 30-26 win. Running into very little competition in the final three meets, Seaholm coasted to three easy wins over Berkley, Hazel Park, and Cranbrook. The Berkley meet proved to be the season's biggest rout, as Seaholm took seven of the top eight places to win 18-45. Next came the League Run, which Seaholm had to win if they were to be league champions. Kimball, who had placed first during the dual meet season, could only manage a third place behind Hazel Park. Seaholm qualified for the State Run, which was held at Ypsilanti, by tying with Kimball for second in the Regionals. The Harriers found the going to be rather tough at the State Run, but placed a very respectable ninth. Possibly the most important fact of all is that Mike Gilleran covered the course in 12:33 to earn the first place position.
