One major adjustment was trying to run as one unit instead of individuals. Coach Andy Deckert tried to emphasize this in workouts by experimenting with a new prac- tice system. The new system stressed relaxation and pace. The young harriers began to reach peak form near mid-season. The McPherson Invitational was the turning point in the season as every member of the team ran per- sonal best times. One time of con- siderable importance which added some irony to the season was fresh- man Jeff Nixon's time of 10:45. This time broke Coburn's freshman record. Competing in the last CKL meet, the runners placed third. Junior Jack McDonald earned All-CKL honors by placing seventh. Another bright spot at CKL was senior Dar- ren Anderson's time of 10:45. This time enabled him to compete with the varsity team at Regionals. At Regional, the harriers narrow- ly lost a State berth to Junction City by three points. The Cougars placed fifth, but only four teams qualified for State. Although the harriers did not compete in State as a team, junior Frank Riley earned the right to re- present the team individually. Riley placed 25th at State with a com- mendable time of 9:58. One rarity of the last few seasons has been a girls cross country team. The '77 season was no different. However, three girls participated during the season and two set class records. Lisa Dreese set the fresh- man record, and Amy Morton, the sophomore mark. Junior Nancy Lloyd set many meet records. Talent was not the ingredient lacking as much as experience. The harriers gained valuable exper- ience which will become an added asset in future seasons. if 'E-3,34 gr 14-.w Wx, .. F. t-1.

Frosh gridders ave fine year Propelled by a devastating run- ning game and a hard-hitting de- fense, the Cougar freshman football team compiled a 5-2 won-loss re- cord. The freshmen started the year slowly with two consecutive losses, but they retaliated to win their last five games. Included in the victories were a 20-16 win over arch-rival Central and an impressive 28-6 vic- tory over Great Bend Roosevelt. The offensive running game ac- counted for many of the wins as they combined for 1,363 net yards, averaging 4.5 yards a carry. Evan Dickson, scoring 76 total points, led the offense. The freshmen gridders exhibited fine talent and the ability to win, promising South High football a bright future. ...,.,..,-n-mlm, 'frm-' G 4 , 1- - , rr' I 'J . ua - - A '1-. E T v ..
