Coach Behrends, in his first year as head sophomore coach, led his team to a record of 8-0-1, bringing with that record the E.C.I.C. championship. The only blemish on their record came from a 0-0 tie with Marion. The cross-country team had very few juniors or seniors and therefore the team was made up of young men with very little experience. Coach Wessel believes that with a little experience and good leadership from the few seniors next year that Prairie should have a fine team in ’81. cross-country.
