Harriers Improve Record Cross country is a very individual, competitive sport. Athletes must be in their best shape and form to run, not jog, the two and a hall ' mile course. They not only run against the clock, but give words of encouragement to competitor and teammate alike. It is truly a sport for only the most dedi- cated athletes. Howe ' s runners practiced hard every day before and after school preparing themselves for their thirteen meet season. A highlight of those practices was having freshman coach Bill Gavaghan run with them while training for the 1980 Olympic trials in the marathon run. Returning lettermen for this year ' s varsity team were senior captain Jim Clark and juniors Malcolm Curry, Jeff Oberlies, and Tim McPherson. Curry and Oberlies battled for second and third places most of the season with Curry finishing sixteenth in the sec- tional. Jim Clark placed first in five out of thirteen meets this season. He was ninth in the city meet and ran number one man two years. Finishing fourth out of sixteen teams in the city and placing tenth of twenty teams in the sectional, the var- sity team finished their season with a 9-3 record improving last year ' s record as coach Tim Jessup had hoped. A strong reserve team highlighted their season with a third in the city meet. The freshman team finished second in the city with promising runner Curtis Childs in second place individ- ually. Coaches Jessup and Gavaghan were pleased with the results of the 1977 cross country season. (Julie Oberlies) 1. CROSS COUNTRY. Front row: Babbs Valinga, Wendy Graham, Jewel Curry.
