Cross Country earned victories. ROW 1: Ken Shead, John Saylor, Rob Zelasko, Steve Deutscher. ROW 2: Bill Farrington, Rich Green, Steve Moore, Jerry Fire- baugh, Paul Fernald. Captain Steve Moore led the Junior - dominated Cross Country team to some hard-earned victories in the '73 season. Ken Shead, Steve Deutscher, Rob Zelasko, Jerry Firebaugh, and John Saylor were the other letter winners on the all-junior squad. Highlight of the harrier season was the annual running of the New Prairie Invitational. This event has developed into the largest cross country race in the area. Forty-five teams made up the field in the seventh running of our invitational. Prior to the meet, our runners served as course guides to members of the visiting teams. They es- pecially enjoyed introducing unsuspecting competitors to ''Agony Hill and then listened to their moans of protest. This tortuous, winding incline was a part of New Prairie's daily practice routine. The team got off to a good start by edging Michigan City Marquette and South Bend St. Joe. Steve Moore won several races over the two and one half mile courses. 18
