1984 Miracle Yearbook

The Hairless Harriers F rom the first four meets of the year, Coach King knew that he had the best men's cross country team ever at Cedarville College. By winning at Muskingum College and Ohio North- ern University, taking second at Grace College and third at Marion College, the "Hairless Harriers" compiled a 44-3 "He lost both of his shoes half way thru the race and ran without them in true West Vir- ginian style." record. The two goals,obviously at this point, were to beat Walsh College and to earn a trip to the NAIA national Tournament. The first objective became reality on October 22nd as Cedarville beat Walsh by 15 points. Everyone ran well, but something special sparked the team when Tom Hill ran the last 21/2 miles shoeless,(11/2miles on gravel.)He lost both of his shoes half way thru the race and ran without them in true West Virginian style. Cedarville struggled to beat Ander- son College but had to settle for a second place finish to its fired-up squad. However,Cedarville did earn a trip to the NAIA nationals. Unfortunate- ly, the Jackets seemed to get lost in the multitude of 450 runners and placed 29th out of 37 teams. Overall, the season went very well and we were very pleased with the success the Lord allowed us to have. We look forward to future seasons and the opportunities to give our best for His glory. by Gary Anderson. 194 Men's Cross Country
