Harriers Sprint To Ches-Mont Title Coach Mike Diorka ' s motto of Pride and Tradition inspired the 1976 Great Valley Cross Country Team to repeat as league champions -- not a simple task. The harriers compiled a 9-0 record to move their list of dual meet victories to 27 straight and assure them of a second consecutive Ches-Mont League title. The 1976 team did not have the natural ability of the 1975 squad, but much dedication and sacrifice, along with many hours of summer running, enabled the harriers to be successful. The team also participated and placed in three invitational meets: the Conrad Weiser Invitational, where it took second, and the Neshaminy and Steel City Invitationals, where it took third each time. Because the Patriots won the Ches-Mont, they were eligible to compete in the District I Meet and finished third in a field of fifty. That fine showing in turn notched Great Valley a spot in the P. I. A. A. State Meet for the second straight year. The Pats went on to earn a tenth place position. The leadership roles fell to a pair of consistent seniors, co- captains Bob Voorhees and Jim Dewey. Voorhees took several firsts and stacked up 62 points to lead the team in scoring. Fel- low seniors Ken Kapner and Dan Skane also turned in steady per- formances. The future looks bright for GV as well, with Tom Bailey, Shawn Brown, and Matt Davis, all fine runners, return- ing to carry on the legacy. Mild-mannered Mike Diorka assumes his familiar lecture pcjsition. Co-captain Bob Voorhees and sopho- more Shawn Brown show winning form. Sophomore Matt Davis legs it out to the finish. The exhaustion of endurance running shows on junior Tom Bailey ' s face.
