Q N , ', X 4F '4:s HARRIERS On September 5, Coach Acker and his harriers started practice in defense of their Lower Bucks League Championship. Prospects for the season were very good with eight returning varsity lettermen to bolster the squad. Twelve hopefuls also added to the team's chances. The team then elected co-captains Herb Carver and Bob Neukirchner, two four-year vets. Tennent breezed through its first four meets by winning over North Penn and Pennsbury and by shutting out Bensalem and Central Bucks. Next came Pennridge. This meet proved to be the heartbreaker of the season. Led by fleet Ben Weidemoyer, Pennridge ended our 20 meet victory streak by 5 big points, 25-30. ln the William Tennent Invitational, once again we finished second to Pennridge, Down at Cobbs Creek, however, in the district meet, it was a different story: Tennent won top honors, thereby becoming district champs! This was the first time any Tennent team in any sport won a district championship. The team then traveled to University Park for the state championship meet where it finished 9th out of the lb teams entered, Ron Tanner, one of our iunior harriers, was high man on the team at state finishing 38th, Before the season was finished, wins over Neshaminy and Palisades were added to our victory string. At the Lower Bucks Championship Meet, Coach Acker's squad won Tennent's fifth straight championship in a shutout. At the George School Invitational, we finished second with North Penn taking top laurels. With Walt Miller, Jim Milligan, Ron Tanner, Joe Schardinger, Bill Nichparenko, plus a championship .IV team promoted to varsity, Tennent can look forward to another great year in '58.
