VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY Some cross-country courses stretch out over green fields, up mountain sides, across scenic golf links, and through woods of multi-colored trees with paths laden with leaves all made lovely by the hands of fall. Cross-country by some is considered a therapy or temporary refuge from the hustle and bustle of today's world. There is nothing more ecological than a dedi- cated cross-country runner doing a few miles in the fog-laden air of the early morning. Up before the sun to enjoy the dew covered fields one might find our own Kiski harriers striving to harvest this tall's Interstate Prep School League championship. Mr. Pidgeon was optimistic about this coming season as his team compiled a 3-2 record against some stiff area competition. The season might have gone either way, unfortunately the breaks did not go our way. Captain Gus Martin was plagued by a flurry of injuries that slowed his progress and kept his true potential from surfacing. While the Cougar team fought with commendable spirit they lost two heartbreaking meets. University School squeaked out a 28-30 victory in the opening Interstate League competition de- spite a superior showing by Brad Killer Henry fa name derived by his way with women and not his athletic prowessj. The following week the Cougar kids took to the road determined to spoil the Cranbrook home- coming. But again the harriers lost by a margin of only one point, this time 27-28. The ride back from Detroit seemed endless that evening. Each member of the team felt a fine optimism before the meets. Each member knew inside that his talent and strength were there, like an unlit powder keg waiting to explode. The week of October 28 held a dissappointment and the worst defeat of this year as the Western Reserve Pioneers ran past the Kiski Crew early in the lopsided victory 28-38. Finally in the last meet of the season the keg went off as the Kiski Cross-country recorded its first League win and shutout over the visiting Nich- ols team. It was a strong finish. The Cougars cap- tured the first six places and a new course record by Killer in 17:05. It was a great job well done! 144
