CROSS COUNTRY 1968 In collegiate sports, the cross country team rates no better than an unpleasant experience. The harriers, as they are called after English dogs who chase rabbits'draw no praise, no paying fans and no television. Why then do men run? It is one the strange things of life that those who work the hardest, who subject themselves to the strictest discipline, who give up certain pleasurable things in order to achieve a goal, are the happiest men. They are running because they love it and their lives are fuller because of the competition. The Maine Maritime Academy 's Cross Country Team for 1968 was one of the best ever fielded by the school, and compiled a 12-5 varsity record and a 2-0-1 freshman record. This brings the seven year varsity won-lost record to 62-21-1 and the three year frosh record to 6-3-1. It would seem appropriate to single out these men from the class of 1969 as being the most dedicated to the sport. Clay Nowell of Brewer and Paul Hatfield of West- brook who have become the first men to win four varsity letters in the sport at the school and to be elected co-captains three years in a row. Also during the year Clay Nowell and Ismail Shekem entered and finished the Boston Marathon. It is hoped that next year will bring new and better competition to Castine and that the sport will continue to grow and with it school support. The letter winners for 1968 are: Clay Nowell, Paul Hatfield, Joe Grant, Ismail Shekem, Bob DeLambily,Dennis Webb, John Hills, Louis Normand, John Uzmann. 244
