CROSS COUNTRY
Squad Post Highly Successful Season Under the able guidance of Brother William Marchal, the 1967 Cross Country Team completed a highly successful campaign, capturing the district and regional championships, and placing ninth in the state. Led by seniors Denny Bayham, Steve Bayer, and Ed Mathes, the Harriers opened the season with one goal in mind-to defend the District Championship title won in 1966. After convincing victories over Beavercreek, Cincinnati Elder, Fairmont West, and Jefferson, the team was well on its way toward the accomplishment of its goal. The Eagle Harriers were not satisfied with a fine season alone. By out-running twenty-four other schools, they captured the District crown, as Denny Bayham led the over-all team effort, grabbing the top individual performance honors for the second consecutive year. The following week, the team accomplished a second goal, winning the Regional Championship, thus qualifying for the State Championship Meet. As topping to the team's fine season, plus the outstanding district and regional performances, the Harriers placed ninth in the State contest, with Bayham finishing fourth.
Denny Bayham moves into first place in the St. Joseph Invitational.
