Description
This is a collection of pictures of the 1963/1963 Howell High School Cross Country Team, Howell, Michigan, featuring photographs from the State Meet and the Annual Banquet.
As described in the 1963 "Torch" Howell High School Yearbook, the Howell Cross Country Team listed its members as, Rick Dunn, C. Soule, Craig Soule, Richard Harris, Henry Wilmer, Steve Zemper, R. Crum, Frank Schafer, John Miller, Allen Jonckheere, Doug Christenson, J. Woodruff, Jim Strickler, Dave Starkey, and Coach Robert Bloomer. Manager was Tim Bloomer.
The Fall 1963 Season opened with an "easy victory over Holt, and they went on to win the Napoleon Invitational. At our Third Annual Torchlight Run, they came through with a first place tie with Milford over a field of extremely tough Class B competition." At home, the Harriers posted victories over Okemos, Fenton, Haslett, and Everett. They posted second at the Greyhound Invitational and the Clarenceville Invitation, and a third again Thurston and Ypsilanti. A fourth place finish at the Albion Invitational Championship was a highlight. The team qualified for the State Meet with a third at the Farmington Regional. This was followed by a first at the Capital Circuit Meet. At the State Meet, they placed tenth.
The exact location of the photographs is unknown, and the names of the persons are unknown.
