outhful Harriers Anticipate I969-70 Season Freshman Curtis Parker seems glad to see the finish as he enters the chute in the conference meet at Valley View. ,MF V ss-J 'af 1' qw-C Youth was the major characteristic of the 1968-69 cross country squad with 4 sophomores and 2 freshmen counted in the top 9 runners. The varsity harriers posted a 5-7 won-loss record in a season that was to reveal Shenandoah's cross country prospects for 1969-70. Freshmen Tom York and Brian Ayres, along with sophomore standouts Nick Ashton, Steve Myers, Chuck Masters, and Danny Dickerson, helped propel the thinlies to some big victories. The most satisfying win came in a 3-way meet against Yorktown and Mt. Vernon when Shenandoah runners swept the first 5 places for a perfect soore of 15. Other victories came against Elwood when Steve Myers clocked a 10:22 over the course and against Markleville when the harriers downed their rivals by a score of 17-46. The fact that top sophomore and freshmen runners ran in varsity competition, caused the reserve and freshmen squads to sometimes be short of fresh runners and they compiled 5-5 and 2-5 records respectively. Though not pictured through no fault of their own, the eighth grade cross country team finished a fine season with some good individual efforts. Bob Hinton, never placing lower than 4th, scored a total of 13 points. Bob's best time was a 5:39 for the mile course. Close behind in nearly every meet, Ronnie Munden scored a total of 21 points and gave depth to the squad. fa A 2 5 1 - , 2 JA: .,.. . I ' 33 N 4, s is X grid' is if -we Q,S'-stew..

The baseball season actually consisted of two parts-spring season and summer season. At the end of the summer play in 1968, the Raiders had compiled an 11-8 record overall and an 8-8 conference record. After a slow start, the baseballers finished strong by winning 7 out of their last 8 games. Doug Stonebraker was selected All-Conference for his play as pitcher and outfielder. The team climaxed its 1969 spring season by winning the Sectional at Knightstown after compiling a moderate 54 record. Again in the spring season, Doug Stonebraker was a standout as he posted a 5-0 pitching record going into the Sectional. Mike Reedy was recognized for his outstanding play in the Sectional as he chalked up an impressive 2 home runs, 8 runs-batted-in, and a .667 batting average for 3 games. ln sectional play, the Raiders first met and defeated Carthage 2-0, topped Blue River in the afternoon game 8-4, and went on to outlast Knightstown 7-6 in the evening final. As this book went to press, the Raiders were preparing to meet the New Palestine club in the Regional.
