Marathon Men Strike Again: Steve Longstaff offered some of his thoughts concerning how his team performed: This year's Cross Country team was the best in Martin I.uther's history. We still are not quite good enough to defeat Uni- versity Schoolg however, we did finish second in conference and fifth in state . Paul Brandt and myself led the team this year as seniors. Doug Smith will have to lead the team next year as a ju- nior. The other varsity runners, all returning next year are: jim Marquart, Howard Hughs, Bob Sanders, and Doug Schroeder. Coach Herzog did a good job this year, and we're sure he will even do a better job next year. ' ' J' r , ' Q I 5 Senior Steve Longstaff, one of the team's leading runners, pulls ahead of the other runners. The members of the cross country team were: Steve Longstaff, Paul Brant, Doug Schroeder, jim Marquardt, Bob Sanders, Howard Hughes, Doug Smith, Ron Kramer, Brian Wegener, Don Krubsack, Ron Sell, Bob Hansen, Mgr Brian Dethlaff, and Coach Herzog .

The Spartans faced a number of formidable teams and whether they won or lost, they usually put up a good fight. john Brunette was asked about how his team did during the year. He re- plied, One thing which the Spartans probably lacked most in this season was the strength in numbers. The Spartans were picked as the Midwest Prep title favorite in the preseason poll of the coaches, but injuries and mistakes cost them. They finished with a 3-3 conference record and a 5-4 record overall. The all-conference players this year were: Frank Cleppe, Steve Hom, and Jim Povlick.

Golf Team Swings Into Good Season ' 'Tell us about your golf team, joel Doepke was asked. This was his reply: Golf, at first glance, may seem to be a very dull sport, but if you ever played it or knew the facts about it, you'd change your mind about it. This season's golf team was the best in the school's history. One of the reasons is be- cause we have depth in our team. We have three or four pretty good players instead of only one or two as in years be- fore. Because we had depth this year, we were able to defeat Muskego's team for the first time since we started playing them. We also placed better in state regionals then any other past Martin Luther team. To top it off, we broke the school record twice this year which has to be some sort of record. This year's varsity players were: the number one man, Todd Kumberag num- ber two man, joel Doepkeg numberthree and four men, Bob Rieck and john Gelhaart. The fifth man was either Pete Hal- stead or Mike Wagner. The team finished third in the conference . As I said, the team will only be losing one player who will be graduating this spring . This year was a good year, for the most, but the next Martin Luther golf team should look forward to a better and stronger team. ' ' Golf 111
