Under the iirm 'direction of rookie coach Mr. Sam Cogswell, B-V loped to an outstanding rec- ord this yearg an undefeated season and the league championship. They were led by Tom Courtney, a unanimous All-Catholic choice who never saw an opponent's heel during the entire season. B-Vis harriers captured the imagination of local sportswriters, earning the affectionate nick- name, the ilying Irish. A tie-breaking victory over arch rival St. Fran- cis climaxed a magnificent team performance built on gruelling daily practice sessions and a fierce competitive spirit. In every sense possible, this was a Championship Team. All-Catholic T. Courtney and the rest of the Cross- Country team receive jackets as a reward for garnering the league championship.
