SWIMMING Swimming is a sport requiring great deter- mination, dedication, tough workouts, and stamina. Marist had all of these ingredients, but couldn't put them together for a winning season. What the Marist swim team did do, despite the lack of numbers, is to give a good ac- count of itself in a majority of the meets and gain satisfaction from improvement. Brother Charles, who was coach of the team, and the swimmers were aided by jerry Newman during the campaign. I-Ie gave a lot of time and effort to help the swimmers improve. Jim Ruble set new freestyle records in the 50 and 100, and shared a record in the 400 freestyle relay with Mike Sullivan, David Garety and Tom Schmidt. The relay record time was 4:27. Mary Claska broke her own mark in the 100 breaststroke with a timing of 1:27. 7. Sue Gerety broke Toni Doveri's record in div- ing with 63. 25 points. Terry Graf came up with a boys diving record when he tallied a total of 153. 15 points. The boys lost 11 straight decisions. The girls won three and lost eight, and almost won the final meet of the year, losing by only one point to Willamette, 48-47. 48 - I . x !' U 'F 'I .M .,, , -- Ll 1 'Uih'm Ll M it ' H . . -Bn.

CROSS COUNTRY Marist High School's cross-country team, under the coaching eye of Brother Thomas, had its problems. Yet, all Was not lost. The biggest problem was the lack of runners. For some meets, the Spartans did not have the needed five runners, and for others, it was only five. Consequently, it was a no-Win season. The highlights of the year were provided by Dan Harbert. Despite the fact, Marist didn't claim a dual meet Win, Harbert finished first against Central Linn, Oak- ridge, Philomath, Creswell, El- mire and Pleasant I-Iill. He lost out against Junction City, placing second. Harbert claimed a fifth place in the District meet with a time of 13:21. That earned him a berth in the regionals, and a place on the All- District team. Marist's other District competitors were Curt Gauthier, 25th: Brian Conway, 35th: Ken Poole, 39th, and John Calavan, 44th. Harbert came up with his best ef- fort of the season in the Regional meet. With an excellent time of 13:16, he placed second. Only Dan Dockery of Oakridge finished better. .three -tenths of a second better. Harbert placed 36th in the state meet with a time of 13 :34. 50 John Calavan warms up before the district meet. Dan Harbert pulls away from a Central Linn runner
