It was the second meet, however, that foreshadowed the remaining season. The Catholic state champions, Dennis ). O'Connell High School, along with Bishop Ireton soundly defeated the Statesmen, awakening them to the difficulty of the road ahead. We just weren't ready, was first year coach Garnett Million's reasoning for the loss. Since the two schools were not in Marshall's division, the defeat was not devestating and could be considered as a strengthening meet. After a second loss at the feet of W-L, coach Million evaluated the problems and decider! that changes in the training procedures were necessary. Practices were increased from 5-7 miles to 7-10 mile average schedules, with Runners from M.irsholl, Chantilly, and Langley await the start of the Statesmen hosted tri-meet. concentration on distance work for endurance. Illness and injury were key factors in a second place finish to Langley in a triangular meet. Still in pursuit of a winning season, the Statesmen hosted Herndon. Lengthier practices proved worthwhile as Marshall swept second thru eighth place against the Hornets. Each runner improved his time dramatically and hopes of salvaging the season hinged on the following meet with Oakton.
