Cross Country team claims district crown The 1973 Taylor University Cross Country team had another typical win- ning season except for one aspect. For the first time in eight years the Trojans failed to win the Hoosier Buckeye Col- lege Conference championship. It was quite an upset as the Trojans had re- cently defeated EarUiam, the new cham- pion, rather handilv. Coach George Glass stated that he felt much growth and learning had taken place as result of ex- periencing second place for the first time. The Trojan harriers were led all year by their outstanding senior and team cap- tain, Taylor Oliver. Oliver placed first and set a new Taylor course record (26:23) in the HBC conference meet. Other season highlights included a very strong showing in a triangular meet against Calvin and Ferris State Colleges in which Oliver set a course record of 25:41. The Trojans successfully recap- tured the Taylor Invitational champion- ship with a one point win over Rio Grande College. They also became Dis- trict 21 NAIA champions with their strong place at the Little-Big State meet held at Purdue. Other strong runners all season in- cluded seniors Al Feeley and Brad Shrock. Underclassmen Steve Gradeless. Tim Reusser. and Dave Lewis also con- tributed valuable points. Next year should have to be quite a challenge for Coach Glass as the loss of several experi- enced seniors will undoubtedly hurt. 1973 CROSS COUNTRY | Taylor Conditioner 2nd Indiana State lost Calvin won Purdue lost Manchester won Taylor Invitational won Alumni Meet won Butler lost District 1st Little State 2nd HBCC 2nd Tavlor Oliver sets Tayl. ir depth h; abled the har nsistentJv run bv the PP
