The loneliness of the cross country runner as he plods through ten miles of street each day, the churning water and garbled sounds surrounding the swimmer, advice yelled to the wrestler as he struggles to escape the opponent, the concentration of the riflemen ... all surrounded by others yet alone in their self discipline and responsibility to the team - these are the lonely sports. The Harriers completed a .500 CROSS COUNTRY season, summed up by Coach John O’Brien. “We lost four meets on inferior running and won four on superior coaching.” Co-captain Stan Shernan extended his tradition as the first Malden runner across the finish line and was the recipient of the MVP award for the second year in a row. The “Mr. Track” award went to Victor Smith. One of the least publicized teams, the Tornado riflemen had one of the year’s most successful seasons. Co¬ captain Jetf Thompson and junior Mary Fusco held honors as the top male and female shooters in the Metropolitan Boston League. The team broke a school and league record with 919 points against Acton capturing the MBL crown. In wrestling, tri-captain Danny O’Boyle, the oldest of three Malden wrestling brothers, compiled an unbroken record in the 115 lb. weight class and again qualified i Cross Country Malden 9 15 76 Arlington 18 44 9 21 76 Peabody 28 27 9 27 76 Medford 21 34 Rifle Malden 10 5 76 Somerville 19 44 698 10 8 76 Haverhill 43 17 1 6 77 Holbrook 751 10 11 76 Chelsea 39 19 1 25 77 Norwood 801 785 10 19 76 Revere 40 17 1 27 77 Braintree 823 773 10 26 76 Everett 16 44 2 1 77 Watertown 876 835 2 7 77 Billerica 877 764 2 10 77 Cath.
