Braves Defend DC Cross Country Title At Baker
Ottawa University's cross country team faces a slim chance to defend its conference crown at Baker as coach Bill Boucek notes the five mile course and stronger rivals. He cites two returning lettermen Oscar Harris and Richard Hutchcraft plus freshman Ken Presley as hopeful factors for OU while predicting McPherson will win and Appel Glenn of Kansas Wesleyan may take individual honors. The Braves aim to outrun Baker for fourth with Southwestern improving and Ottawa’s best times yet not enough for top spots.
