Freshman Bret Urbine leads the pack BLOOMSBURG STATE COLLEGE 1982-83 MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY TRACK & FIELD 1981-82 PC Champion Mike Gorczynski The Program For the first time in the school's history, the men's cross country and track and field programs come under the direction of a single head coach . Carl Hinkle, head man of the BSC track and field team for the past six seasons, became the Huskies' cross country head coach last fall. The appointment will allow for a better continuity between the two sports. "We are trying to make the step into an entire program concept as the cross country people can now become an integral part of our track and field squad in the spring," Hinkle stated. " In the recent past, the athletes weren 't competing in both sports and the middle distance and distance events in track were suffering. This will allow me to work with several athletes on almost a year round basis, which has to be a great asset for us," he added . Both programs have enjoyed limited success by various individuals over the past few seasons including Steve Eachus, who gained All-American honors in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters as well as cross country, Dan Mccallum in the shot put, Stan Kita in the javelin, high jumper Jeff Carruthers, and current All-American hopeful, two-time Pennsylvania Conference shot put champion , Mike Gorczynski. Bloomsburg cross country has seen six head coaches in the past nine years . With the appointment of a head coach for the combined programs, it is hoped both individual sports will benefit from the blend . Hinkle expects this philosophy to begin to pay dividends this spring as many of his cross country performers will compete in the corresponding events. The "total program concept" should provide for a positive change in both Bloomsburg cross country as well as track and field in the future . Head Coach CARL HINKLE, Assistant Professor of Physical Education, joined the BSC faculty and coaching staff in September of 1971 . In addition to his teaching assignments in the Health and Physical Education department, he is in his seventh year as head track coach . A native of Berwick, Pennsylvania, Hinkle re-ceived his bachelor's degree from Montana State University and the master's degree from Ithaca (NY) College. His coaching experience involves two years in public schools and stints at Ithaca, Cornell, and Cortland State before coming to Bloomsburg. In his six years of coaching track and field at BSC, Hinkle has coached four All-Americans. This year he has the responsibility of coaching both the track and field and cross country teams in order to get a better cohesiveness between the two seasons. u YI El C N Pl G A' A! M HI HENRY GIALANELLA enters his first year as assistant coach and will be handling the field participants. C Pt Tf E< Sf (P tak rig pr ac I to r: John MacDevette, John Lewis, Mike Ostafy Ed Ac Ac Cross Country Wrap-up Despite this past fall's 1-7 finish, first year coach Carl Hinkle felt, "Our cross-country team improved with each race." With many of its participants being newcomers, the young team struggled through a tough PC schedule. The harriers' lone victory was a 40-73 win over Allentown in a tri-meet which included King's College . "Experience is the most important thing for the runners, and this fall we just didn't have it," said Hinkle. The only upperclassmen on the team were seniors Lou Maynard and Steve Ziegler along with juniors Mike Williams and Darryl Atherholt. The rest of the team was comprised of six freshmen and inexperienced sophomore Mike Ostafy. "Our young runners, most notably Mike Greene and Bret Urbine, did a good job for us and should be great for our future," said Hinkle. Other freshmen Bob Lytle, John Lewis, and John MacDevette , will all help to make next year's squad more competitive. The young harriers definitely have a solid background in running. Both John Lewis and Rob Lytle won medals for their 800 meter performance in high school. Lewis was a PIAA 800 district medalist while Lytle was a District IV 800 meter champ. Both performed well for their high school cross country teams. "They just need a little maturity which comes with experience," says Hinkle. Lytle, Lewis, and Ostafy will keep in shape by competing on the track team this spring . "Next year may not be our turn-around year," Hinkle said, "but we 're getting there. I think the team has a great attitude which can only be enhanced by the new combined cross country-track program." "Our current recruiting efforts will improve us in the long run," stated Hinkle. "I also hope to guide most of the runners' training by also coaching them in track ."

"We have quality people this year who have transmitted tremendous enthusiasm and commitment to the team," stated Hinkle. A nucleus of four seniors will lead the team on its quest towards to Pennsylvania Conference Championships . "With the people we have and their hard work attitude, we can expect a better PC performance than last year," said Hinkle. The top performer on this year's squad is senior co-captain Mike Gorczynski . He will be shooting for a school record third straight PC title in the shot put and looks to have an excellent chance at qualifying for the Division II national meet. Senior Joe Miller is the other co-captain and will be concentrating in the triple jump, long jump , and sprints. Other seniors, Bob and John Feeley, are two consistent performers who will help in the troubled distance and middle distance areas. In the field events, juniors Ed Lozo , Eric Feerrar and Frank Horan are expected to show improvement and score points. Lozo finished fourth in the javelin in last year's PC meet. Feerar provided good efforts in the shot and javelin while Horan concentrated on the discus. Underclassmen expected to lead the pack in the sprint ing events are Stan Smolensky and Marshal Evers. They will both be competing in the relays while Evers will also handle some hurdling duties. Junior John Homan and sophomore Mike Ostafy will support the Feeley brothers in the distance events. Although he has many returnees, Coach Hinkle will be " relying heavily on a lot of frosh hopefuls." Steve Harris and Tim Cook are two young standouts who will be expected to develop in the sprint events. Harris finished second in the 400 meter race at the Junior Olympic trials while Cook finished fifth in the PIAA meet in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles. In the hurdles, Cook will team with Wilbur Reid while John Lewis and Rob Lytle, two other high school standouts, will compete in the middle distances. Newcomer Scott Heckert will provide depth for the Huskies in the long and triple jumps. "With all this fresh talent , I expect some records to fall this spring ," said Hinkle.
