Distric! 'lille Retained As I-lurriers Starting with a squad of 37, Coach Norm Trotter's 1968 Cross Country Team had the most successful year in the history of the school. The team was young, with only five seniors, but it progressed rapidly as each meet passed because of the members' desire to work and to drive themselves. The JV squad was undefeated in all of its meets, including District. The Varsity was second amoung 17 teams in the North Marion Invitational, but posted victories in all other regular season meets. ln post-season competition, the Laker Varsi- ty captured District easily on a fine team effort, with Brian Rall placing first. Nearest to Oswego's 26 points was Tigard, with 65. At the State Meet in Salem, the team gained a tie for fourth with 188 points, the lowest total ever by a Laker team. Leading this high finish were Rall fl6th placej Roy Dieffenbach USD, and Brad Richards fl9j. Also running at State were Toby Daniels f65j, Bill Burt 1701, and Mark Halverson 11105. With such a young Varsity and a powerful JV team, the 1969 Cross Country squad should be able to continue the string of six consecutive District titles and have another shot at the State Meet. Loosening up with a practice run before the meet against Oregon C1ty and West Lmn are Roy Dieffenbach 11.1, Bill Burt, Brian Rall, Brad Richards and Mark Halverson Striving for another JV sweep at the Waluga course are Mike McGarr Q1 J Paul Malin Doug I-lefford and Eddie Bragdon.

Boy Swimmers Capture 2nd In TYV League A single League loss prevented the Boys, Swim Team from winning the 1968 TYV Championship. Not faring as well at the District competition, they place fourth, send- ing only the freestyle relay team of Paul Klein, Rich Martin, Greg Schaeffer, and Steve Pruitt to the State Meet. Top swimmers over the season were Paul Klein in the short freestyle events, Greg Schaeffer in the backstroke and relay, and junior Rich Martin in the 400 and 200 yard freestyle events. This was the first year the Lakers had a team of divers for both the boys and girls. Diving members of the Boys' Team were Louie Mogabgab, Dan Sigler, and Dave Poole. Biggest hope for the future was passage of the bond issue for a new swimming pool to be built on the High School campus and to be completed in the spring of 1970. This year, as in the past, many prospective tankers were cut because only a limited number could go to the facility at Maryl- hurst. Coach Ruckdeschel feels that the new pool will give a great lift to the Oswego swimming program.
