Individual runners earn recognition Training under the direction of first- year Coach Greg Jones, the Northwest Cross Country team finished sixth in City and sent one runner, Shaun O'Con- nor, to the State Meet in Manhattan. The team ran a total of seven races, in- cluding one in Hutchinson and another in Great Bend. To begin with, team membership was small, but by the end of the season there were 11 men and two women on the team. For each of the seniors it was their first year of cross country running, and even though the team was not well- experienced, it managed to finish in the middle of the standings at most of its meets and invitationals. The Grizzlies had some great in- dividual runners. O'Connor placed 19th in State, 5th in City, and set a new school record of 10:01 for the two-mile run. Tom Zajkowski placed as the fifth fastest junior in the City. The only sophomore on the team, john Madden proved himself the fourth fastest sophomore in the City. The four top runners from the team will return next year. For what we started with, we did pretty good, commented jones. ii' ,IQ U junior Shaun O'Conner concentrates, in the moments that precede the race, on his method of stategy.
