Wonder if it's worth it. . it must be. Two miles, here we come. Hey, it's cold out here. Wish he'd fire the gun. Finally. I hate the first 200 yards or so, it's just like a sprint. What a lot of guys! must be around 75. Let's see: eleven teams, seven guys each-yeah, 77. Wonder where I'll be at the finish. Time to move up. About a quarter mile gone, sixth place. Good. Here come the creek and that bridge. Gotta keep pushing it, keep relaxed. Third place nowg it's starting to hurt. Wonder how the rest of the team's doing. Oh well, no time to help them now. Let's see, the mile mark's coming, I'll try to keep this pace till I hear my mile time. Those golfers are looking at us, sure wish I were playing golf. Can't complain. Now to get that guy in second. Here goes. Even, but he won't let me go around. I'm tired, but I won't let him know it! Gotta keep pushing it! When is he going to fade? or will I fade first? We'll know soon. I wonder about that theory of mind over matter in running. Sounds logical, but- Whoa! don't daydream! Caught up with that guy again. I'd better watch it. This is really a pretty nice place to run, if running can be nice. Anyone coming up behind me? Better worry about this guy beside me first. I'm glad the sun's out. Pat Meyer, Cross Country captain What if it were snowing? Thatls so funny, I'd laugh if I could. When's this guy gonna give up? Better pull myself together now -about a half mile left. I'm hurt- ing, but I've felt worse. He looks about like I feel, but I think I'm better. Now, if I can cross that darn creek and get up the little hill without falling apart, I'm going to leave this guy! Or maybe, I should just make a deal with him. That's another funny one. There's the creek, the hill, I hate this part. Well, here goes. Push it. Good. I'rn around him, but he isn't giving up. It's hard to be- lieve, 77 guys from Columbus and me in second place. Wow! Quarter of a mile left and he's got at least 175 yards on me. Better worry about second. Start giving it more. Stride, relax. But faster. It hurts. My legs and my lungs are on fire. Wonder if it's worth it. No time to ask that question nowg it must be. I'm just happy to know that a Whetstone jersey's gonna finish, with me in it, in second . . . I hope. Wish it could be first. Here's the last straightaway. Nobody's gonna catch me! Now spring! Everything! Don't hold anything back! There's that line. Closer. I can't hear anyone behind me. Keep kicking - hurry - few more seconds-keep going! I can hear him now: . . . 10:27, 10:28, 1 0:29 - it's over! 13' j 'xi-'.i.. 'R ,K 4,5 , 1. ff?

In the course of this season's six regular meets the Whetstone cross country team ran against nine schools Ceight in the City Leaguel, losing to only two of them, West and Brookhaven. The Braves confirm their rank by taking third to those schools in the City Varsity Meet late in October. In that free-for-all, held at Raymond Memorial Golf Course, Pat Meyer and Gary Kopp, team co- captains, placed second and sixth respectively. In addition to taking part in City League competition, the team participated in the district meet, also at Raymond, in which it placed seventh among the 17 teams of its division. Because Whetstone did not finish fourth or better in its division, it did not qualify for the regional meet. However, the top 10 runners in each of the two divisions of' the district were allowed to run in the regional, regardless of whether their teams qualified, and Pat Meyer, having finished seventh in Whetstone's division, began to get his legs and lungs in shape for the regional meet. In the regional, Pat distinguished himself by placing 10, and, as one of the top 15 runners, he qualified for that all-star competition held at the Ohio State University Golf Course-the state meet. Among those who ran in the state meet, alone or with their teams, Pat finished 24. Three years ago, in Mr. Roger Wolfe's first season as coach, the team ranked second to Brookhaven in the City League. The following season, autumn of 1965, brought the City championship to Mr. Wolfe and the Braves. This year's team, again under Mr. Wolfe's leadership, continued Whetstone's fine record by placing third in the city.
