J.V. - FRESHMEN HAVE GOOD YEAR This year’s junior varsity nearly capped an unde- feated season, but dropped a squeaker to Merrill- ville 13-12. Under the leadership of Coach Boch- nowski the boys turned in a fine 7-1 record. Now that these boys have the necessary experience, many of them will vie for starting positions on next year’s varsity. Despite the loss to Merrillville the boys later defeated teams that had beaten the Merrillville crew. Coach Leslie’s freshmen crew came through the 1963 grid season with a respectable 4 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie record. Due to the large number of seniors on this year’s varsity many of these boys may be asked to fill in important positions on next year’s first team. This team has turned in one of the best records for the last four years.

Fall is the season that marks the beginning of a two mile run called Cross Country. Starting the 1963 season with Harold Mack as new head coach, the boys did a pretty fair job as they garnered third in the Calumet Conference featuring talent from every- where. Leading the distance runners this year were sophomore John Collet and senior Mark Render. Collet and Render were the one two punch all year as the team finished with nine wins and six losses. They made a fine performance in the sectional com- ing in 5th out of 25 schools giving them the best per- formance in school history in this event. Collet, who ran practically all of his meets under the ten minute mark, broke his own school record of 9:33 by running 9:26 in one of his scheduled meets and then going on to set a new sectional record of 9:38 at the Cressmore Country Club. Avenging his only regular season loss in the sectional, John went down state where he placed seventh out of a hundred and some runners. Next year coach Mack is looking forward to an even better year as he suffers from only two gradua- tion losses while finding seven returning lettermen who will try and help him better the fine mark he set in his first year of cross country coaching.
