Although they did just about everything they could to keep Marquette in the game in the first half except walk off the field. First there was a clipping penalty that wiped out a first down. And on the next play the Crusaders' Dana Bilyeu in­ tercepted. Then there was a late-hit penalty of 15 yards that kept the ensuing Marquette drive alive. By Mike Lamb PEORIA - As soon as they crossed the finish line and walked into the chute at Peoria's Detweiller Parte, two years of pressure was lifted off the shoulders of each runner on the McHenry boys' cross country team. Three years ago, as young sophomores and freshmen, Steve Carby, Marty Koleno, Brian Wright and Chris Creutz led a team that surprised the state by placing third in the class AA state meet. For the next two season's that same group was expected to win everything in sight, including placing high in the state meet. But only Chris Creutz and Steve Carby i for the state season. The in the group's final season. The Running warriors did win just about everthing in sight in 1983. Even when it looked bleak with Creutz out of action because o( illness, the Warriors qualfied for, the state meet. With its number two runner still unable to compete, the Running Warriors had nothing to lose, but a lot to gain.

"It's unfortunate they (Ottawa Marguette) had to have their one baa game of the year today, but I'm not taking away from our kids, Teamwork by coaches led to success Building a successful no matter the sport, " rts program, easy. The cross country program is one of few athletic programs at McHenry High School that can Drag about real success in terms of Fox Valley titles and state appears pees Bill Tfytphjimnn his assistant Earl Kyle are the main reasons for that success. Hie two have been coaching the Running Warriors together for 10 years. Hutchinson has been the head coach for the last 14 years. During the past few seasons, the cross country boys program has flourished under Hutchinson and Kyle. The girls program is still in the building stage, but has made good "X&rri.rs appearance at the IHSA state meet in Peoria was the second time a Warrior team qualified. But, it was the fourth season in six years McHenry was at least represented at state by one or two individuals. Hutchinson and Kyle's squad's have accumulated four McHenry County titles, three North Suburban titles, three Fox Valley titles, three regional titles and one sectional title. Both agree they have a good thing going when it comes to working together in coaching cross country at McHenry. "We wort pretty much together," said Sport Talk r by Mike Lamb Sports Editor running tose ana the kids know what to expect. It'sa good division of labor," said Kyle. At the state meet, Kyle was with the team, getting them loose prepared for the race, while Hutchinson was busy taking care of business with official business. Having two coaches proved to be very valuable down at Peoria. It's even more valuable during the season when both coaches have to take care of the boys junior varsity and and the girls show respect for both squad, t for t Hutchinson. "We coach them together (girls and boys squads). We seem to compliment each otner. It's kinda nice to be able to talk with each other." Kyle agrees. "Hutchinson had the experience. He coached in many other sports. I have the background in running. I have 14 years of experience in running. Seven of those have been competitive running in high school and college." Hutchinson played football for the Wisconsin Badgers. Since teaching at McHenry, he has coached football, wrestling and now cross country. Kyle ran cross country and track for Illinois State University. "We know what each other will do and varsity squads Hie runners coaches. Kyle is the head coach for distant team during the track season and had the advantage of working with the runners in two different seasons. Besides the coaching, Kyle said credit is due to some other aspects. One of those is the highly competitive cross country area. Tne other is the Lakers Running Club. Kyle said many of the boys have the chance to run with the club during the summer. I heard stories through Hutchinson and Kyle about York. Some of it was hard to believe. Well, I was able to see York in its glory first hand, and everything said was true. York brought six bus loads of fans, supporters, cheerleaders, the pom pon Continued on pogo I, Soction 2 Valley Conference rivaT Crystal Lake Central, who finished 12th. York of Elmhurst, surprised everybody by winning its fourth straight title, edging out Rock- ford-Gruilford - top rated going into the meet. "Yes, I'm happy with 11th glace. Especially with Chris reutz being out/' said Warrior coach Bill Hutchinson. Hutchinson was extremely happy with Koleno. Usually the number four runner in the Warrior lineup, Keleno was the first McHenry runner to finish the three mile course. Koleno finished 28th, three places shy of earning a medal. Koleno was timed at 14:58. Craig VanDyke of Maywood- Proviso East was the winner in a time of 14:24.0 "He probably ran the best race of his career," said Hut­ chinson. There was no doubt in Koleno's mind, it was his best race of his career. He cut 35 seconds off his best time. "I don't believe it," Koleno said. "I had a didn't care at­ titude before the race. I didn't want to be psyched out. I did that in regionals. I felt relaxed. "I stayed with Carby the whole time until I passed him. I felt good the whole race, except for tne mile." Carby finished 54th with a time of 15:10. Last year, Carby was 154th in the state final. Brian Wright was the next Warrior to finish, in 94th place and in a time of 15:24. Terry Harth was 115th in 15:31 and Jeff Pankiewicz was 172 in 15:58. Crystal Lake Central's Pat McDaniel was the 14th runner to finish with a time of 14:46. York won the meet with 137 points, with Rockford-Guilford with 145. Hoffman Estates- Conant was third with 154, Chicago-Marist 177, Hoffman Estates 214, Lockport 230, Darien-Hinsdale South 245, Aurora East 255, PeUn 313, Springfield-Lamphier 321, McHenry 326 and crystal Lake Central 346. Pankiewicz probably had the most pressure to bear among all the McHenry runners. The >re was moved up to the spot in the Warrior lineup, due to Creutz' absence. "Pankiewicz ran a super race," said Hutchinson. "He was our fifth man, and he knew it. He stuck in there and got what he can. Jeff has character. "Carby and Wright didn't have there usual race, but they still stuck in there," added Hutchinson. Both Hutchinson and his assistant, Earl Kyle, were happy in the way their squad reacted to the pressure. . "I thought with Chris (Creutz) not running, we had a legitimate shot at the top 15," said Kyle.
