A New Cross Country Season And An Old One Too

 The Dolan Duels were held on Friday. These celebrate Coach Dolan of Lock Haven, who coached PSU and recruited Greg Fredericks to Happy Valley.  Photos by Greg himself!

But just a few years ago, the State College High team with quite a few future (and former!) Nittany Lions had their photo taken.  Photo from future Track Alumni (Golfer) Bill Kvashay.  Included are former PSU Captain Jackson Horner, Carl Bechdel, Howard Triebold, and Bill Kvashay himself.  It is my hope we see Bill and a very special guest when he comes to the 2023 Reunion in August!

Things were heating up in the nation during this time.  The "plumbers" were breaking into the DNC headquarters in the Watergate Hotel.  The Dow closed above 1,000 for the very first time. The very last troops were withdrawn from Vietnam.  And gasoline prices rose to 55 cents/gallon!

Notable (at least to me!):

• Captains Matt Chadwick and Jim Allahand
• Howie Triebold
• Friends Jim Bray (another Podiatrist) and Steve Miller (York Countian)
• Charlie Maguire
• Bob Hillman
• Carl Bechdel
• Dixons and Pastors!
• George Christopher (PSU Marathon record holder)
