Seven Support Maiden Harrier Platoon While most students journeyed homeward after school, sipped drinks, and watched the autumn leaves drift by their windows, seven indefatigable youths plodded recurrently over all types of terrain, molding themselves into top flight distance men. Though overcome in three meets, the Wythe har- riers competed vigorously against experienced teams. Coach Oscar Kuhn’s disciples established an excellent cross country tradition, and in future years, as a rec- ognized varsity letter sport, G.W.’s road runners will always be indebted to these seven stalwarts.
