Wmnmg Tradltlon Begms lt didn't take long for the Big Nine Confer- ence to find out that the Chargers were Com- ing! ln fact, the 1973 Cross Country team let them know in one season. Posting their best record ever, the team raced to a third place finish in their premier season of league com- petition. The excellent coaching of Jim Waner and Dennis Pettingill guided the Chargers to a fine overall record of 6-2. The team which cap- tured second place in the City Meet also placed fifth in the Regionals. Senior Kevin McColley set a school record of 14:53 for three miles and along with sophomore Dave Knickerbocker qualified for the State Finals. Kevin was voted Most Valuable Runner while iunior Mike Woodbeck was chosen Most Improved. The J.V. team had o successful record of 4- 'l, and with five varsity lettermen returning next year, the Big Nine can expect future challenges in Cross Country from the Char- gers.

Senior golfer Mike Mondelli anxiously awaits the drop of his shot. The Powers Golf team faced some tough competition this year. They ended their season with three wins and eleven losses. As the scores indicate many of the matches were lost by only a small margin. Also, after the golf team switched into the Big Nine, their schedule required that they go up against some highly rated Class A schools. In a very close Big Nine Tourna- ment, the Chargers finished fifth, five points away from first place. Frank Sisvosky, the team's Most Valuable Player, was named to the second team of the Big Nine All Conference Golf team. The Chargers completed their season at the Class B Regionals where they claimed sixth place. , Sports l l7
