1985 Miracle Yearbook
C?, N.C.C.A.A. Runners-up F ifteen-year coach Elvin King assembled an- orher srrong Yellow Jacket cross country squad in '84 as the harriers ran in two notional meets for the second straight year. Cedarville was the NCCAA runner-up again to five-rime champion Anderson College. The Jackets fin- ished 24th our of the 37-team NAIA field. Ar the NCCAA, sophomore Rusty King placed the Jackets in tenth place to make the All-Americo team. Junior Tom Hill was 11th as one of three Coaches' All-Americans. Other Cedarville scorers were sophomores Gary An- derson, Dove Schumaker, Dove Cherry and junior Scott Brooker. They won the NCCAA District III title for the tenth time in the lost eleven years. Besides the second-place NCCAA showing, the Yellow Jackets qualified for the NAIA Na- tionals by virtue of their runner-up District 22 finish. Their other second-place outcome was at the Hanover Invitational where there the University of Louisville nipped Cedarville by only two points. The individual who was the talk of the 1984 season was Rob Moore, a native of West Ol- ive, Michigan. He won four meets, finished third in two others, was eighth in NAIA District 22, 15th in the NCCAA, and 31st or the NAIA Nationals. "Rob has just a remarkable year," said King about his prize performer. "He is continually learning about how to control a race. I look for him to improve even more the next two seasons." Junior Steve Cox was Cedarville's "Most Im- proved" runner. He, along with Cherry and Schumaker, saw a lot of varsity action. "We have to be pleased with our season," declared King as he summed up the campaign. "Our lost three teams have been some of the best thar Cedarville has ever had. We feel like our program is on the rise and we believe that we can get even better." 96 Men's Cross Country
