VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY
1 WIN
- 9 LOSES
St. Ambrose Opponents
50 Western Ill. 15
43 Plateville 17
50 Dubuque 24
Rockford 46
40 Bradley 17
73 Loras 22
Parsons 43
87 Coe 89
St. Ambrose's cross country team,
hampered by a lack of experience
and depth, was able to muster only
one victory. Coach Owens had only
two returning lettermen, Hank Kap-
hiem and Tim Motto, to work with
Freshmen who formed the basis of
the team.
The St. Ambrose harriers showed
steady improvement through the
season. A glance at their various
meet times indicates this. Curran
showed the biggest improvement,
jumping from a time of 20:05
minutes in the first meet to a low of
17:04 against Platteville. Motto and
Kreiter also shaved nearly 3 minutes
off their time in the course of the
year. Lillis was the most consistent
varying between 17:37 and a season
low of 16:34.8.
The improvement can also be
noted in the scores, notably that the
Bees closed with their lone victory
over Coe.
The building season gave Coach
Owens a chance to give his freshmen their baptism to college competition and enabled the Bees to
establish a strong foundation for the
coming year.
Bob Zahlman, Tim Motto, Dave Krieter, Ed Lillis, Dick Wilson, Coach Roy Owen.
