Harriers take 7th consecutive conference title Led by the outstanding individual efforts of junior Taylor Oliver, Tay- lor ' s 1972 cross country- team contin- ued its traditional domination of conference foes. Under the lead- ership of Coach George Glass, the Trojan harriers keyed for the HBCC meet and captured their seventh consecutive conference crown. Tay- lor also placed first in its own annual invitational and District 21 championships. Individually, Taylor Oliver ran away with first place at Little State, HBO Conference, and finished 28th in National competition. Running close behind Oliver most of the sea- son were juniors Brad Shrock, Allen Feeley, and Dave Whybrew. Fresh- men Dave Lewis and Tim Reusser showed great potential as they con- sistantly ran strong races. With the return of this year ' s first six men and the promise of talented pros- pects coming in, Taylor ' s cross coun- try domination seems to be more than safe for one more season. Junior Taylor Oliver chooses to portray sportsmanship over victory in the Taylor Invitational. Led by junior Al Feeley, Trojan cross country men dominate the dual meet with Manchester College during Homecoming Weekend. 16
