We began the 1978 season with high hopes and a lot of confidence as we had six veteran runners, including two seniors. Our confidence was well- founded as we were undefeated in the small local meets as long as we had our full team healthy and running. We ran over 400 miles in our ten weeks of training and it paid off as we won the Poison invitational meet (again) over some area Class B and A teams, and we knew we were ready for State. The State Meet gave us both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat'' within the space of one hour. We ran a fine race as out of 145 runners Bob Baier finished a blaring 4th, Randy Frye 20th, Wes Rammell 21st, Dean Dellwo 29th, and Mike Haines 31st to complete the scoring. For this excellent effort we were soon rewarded with the state championship trophy. Our jubilation was short-lived, however, as one hour later the trophy was taken away from us. In a narrow and controversial decision an opposing runner had been disqualified and later reinstated. The result for us was that we were state runners-up by 7 points rather than champions. Thus we were both disappointed and proud and will have to wait another year for the elusive state championship trophy.
