Concert Series Concert Series Co-Chairman Mike Bulzuno. speaking without his better ll.tlf . . . , J Bob Shea, reflects on the year. It seems that this entire year the t oneert st-rits has been persecuted for one loss and l have along with Bob Sltegt been lteltl responsible for the loss, even though it's the same UI'QLllll!LlllOIl.-Q littlfgttltl continued, I don't see why Bob and l have to be heltl responsible tor that loss when it was incured by our predecessors. 'iBecause of last years defieet CLoggins and Messin1tConeertl and the liiet that that deficet was subtracted from this year's budget. we had little money to work with. 4'However,', says Balzano, we did manage to purehrtse S4000 worth ol sound equipment to cover any act instead of having to rent it.

Q-512 N 'Ht' Cros s Countr Barry Merril1's late season heroics, Mike Murphyls constant bout with the pain of tCl'ldOI1itiS, and a dissapointing l8th place Nationals finish all linger in the minds of those who followed the up and down fortunes of the SMU harriers over the 1976 season. It was the year of the underclassmen, as a group of talented young freshmen, a couple of enterprising sophomores, and two very cagey juniors led the runners to a sparkling 13-2 record. One of the highlights was a thrilling nail-biter over nationally ranked Marist College in the SMU Invitational. Mike Murphy ran the first of three crucial races despite a knee that kept him wincing. After overwhelming the weak competition at the Tri-State Invitational Classic in Worcester, the harriers trained their eyes Cand legsj on the Codfish Bowl, one of New Englands most prestigious meets. Responding to the pressure of 'csecond seasonw running, Freshman Merrill picked up where he left off at the Tri-State's, with a remarkable 14th place finish. Ironically, the toughest meet, competition-wise, of the year was the New England Championships. Entries included division l schools UMass, Providence, and Northeastern. SMU held its own, finishing 13th in a field of 34 schools. Merrill distinguished himself again, placing 44th. What happened at the Nationals in Cleveland, Ohio no one may ever know. With hopes high from a string of good efforts, the Corsairs stumbled to an 18th place finish, a far cry from l975,s 5th place finish. The light at the end of the tunnel was Coach Bob Dowd's contribution to SMU cross country. He raised his ten-year career record to 106-26. Ultimately, the season proved a testing ground for the new faces. Merril, Murphy, George Itz, Dan Doyle, Brian Ellis, Dave Maguire, Duncan Warden, Kevin Childs, and John Spinney will all return in 1977 with high hopes and valuable experience under their belts.
