With the loss of last year's first, second, and fifth men,the Cedarville College Cross Country team apparently was not supposed to be as successful this season. Equally apparent was the fact that the 1982 Jackets did not know this or else just ignored it. Skeptics and losses notwithstanding, the Cross Country team posted a strong and improved season. Perhaps the greatest highlight of the season came during October at Asbury College, where Cedarville went into the NCCAA District III meet ranked third and came out first. The team also improved its national standing by placing fourth out of 15 in the NCCAA Nationals at John Bryan Park. Cedarville College runners were led by number one runner,Freshmen Tom Hill, who was chosen as the "Outstanding Freshmen" for the squad. Junior Craig Slater won the MVP honors. Junior Gary Anderson was voted the "Most Improved Player". Coach King was named the NAIA District 22Coach of the Year.Tom Hill, Gary Anderson, Craig Slater, and Dan Bisbee were all named to the NCCAA All-District team,and Tom Hill was also chosen for the NAIA All-District team.
