"Running Scots"—Depth, Talent, Desire
1974 Track Outlook
Graduation claimed ESC's most prolific point scorer in
David Antognoli—a 1972 Olympic Trials Finalist in the
10,000 meters; six-time ALL AMERICAN; and a two-time
National Champion. However, a solid nucleus of lettermen
return to bolster the Scots' chances of repeating the
District and State Team Championships they claimed
last season.
Senior John Walker returns intent on improving his 4th
place National finish in the 440 Intermediate Hurdles and in
lowering his school record in the Highs. Last season's frosh
sensation, Mike Drozin, the Kentucky Relays winner in the
High jump, and a 5th place National finisher, hopes to
conquer the 7'0" barrier this time around. 1972 Pa. State
sprint champions William Waros (100) and Dan Swanson
(220) return to give their team considerable depth in
the shorter races.
Mark Roche begins his second real year of running and
will be pointing to lower his two school standards in the
mile and 880 yd. runs. Depth is evident in the middle
distance runners as a fine group of freshmen should handle
their responsibilities more than adequately aided by a
seasoned group of upperclassmen. Frosh Lou Champney,
Kevin Foley, Joe Come, Pat Maher, Mark Ladika, Dennis
Packard, and a lot of others should be tough. Experienced
personnel counted upon include Gary Gotsch, Steve Turk,
and John Foreman.
The field events, always an Edinboro weakpoint, are
definitely upgraded with the addition of some fine
personnel. School recprd holder Kim Oddi returns to action
after a year's absense. State H.S. javelin champ Bob Staab
and 3rd place finisher Mike Pancerov could prove out as
the squad's best recruits. Sophomore pole vaulter Rick
Motter also is looking to improve his standard by June, as
triple jumper Chuck Jones zeroes in on the ESC barrier.
"I know we have good experienced Trackmen, and they
should be supported admirably by the newcomers,"
explained Coach Watts. "If the freshmen recruits live up to
their potentials, I think we can be pretty tough. Our squad's
team spirit is the key to our success, and right now, I see no
reason to question the continuance of that tradition
of excellence."

Scots Win With Watts
In his fifth year of coaching at Edinboro, Doug Watts
continues to bring national distinction to his track and
cross country teams.
A collegiate middle distance and cross country runner for
the University of Akron, Watts was a vital cog in Zip teams
that lost only one dual meet in his four-year span and fin­
ished as NCAA college division runners-up in cross country.
After graduate work. Watts launched both his coaching
career and Walsh Jesuit High's running sports program.
His two year record at the Ohio school showed winning
campaigns in track and his cross country team finished
unbeaten both years while winning the district title.
In 1969, the youthful coach moved to Edinboro initiating
cross country as a varsity sport and began building the
track program. In that short span, ESC has become well
known for its distance men and outstanding track per­
formers. Coach Watts' career cross country record stands
at an outstanding 56 wins and only 9 losses, while his
four Edinboro track squads have recorded a 16-6-1 log.
The Scots completed their finest season this past fall as
the running Scots went 10-0 in dual meets, captured
District and State Championships, and finished third in the
NAIA National Meet. The 1973 trackmen boasted a fine 6-1
record, also boasted the District and State titles, and
placed three men in the scoring column at the National
Championship.
The Edinboro mentor, named district cross country and
district track coach of the year this past season, was
recently honored by being nominated as an assistant coach
for the United States track team at the 1976 Olympics.
Watts, his wife, Susan, and their two children, Wendy,
five and Chris, three, reside in Edinboro.
