David A. Norris '58, of Lowell House and Rochester, N.Y., was elected captain of next year's varsity cross country team. He succeeds David G. McLean.
During most of the season, Norris was second in effectiveness only to ace Pete Reider, finishing 14th in the Heptagonals. Last week, Norris finished 35th out of 225 runners in the annual IC4A Meet in New York.
Despite Reider's effort, the varsity finished a disappointing 12th, as Michigan State romped to victory. Dave Norris, the second Crimson finisher, placed 35th; Jim Schlaeppi, 89th; Dyke Benjamin, 104th, and Dick Wharton 137th.
Norris bettered his Heptagonal time by 34 seconds, as he finished in 25:46, by far his best showing of the season.
Therefore, if Reider can finish far enough ahead of Bogan and Hogen, and Schlaeppi and Norris can finish with them, McLean and Wharton, by breaking up Yale's final three finishers, could ice the meet for the varsity.
