ALL-AMERICAN STEVE EACHUS

BLOOMSBURG
STATE
COLLEGE

OUTLOOK
Coach Clark Boler, in his second year as head
mentor, has set goals with the team members for
improvement on last season's record and finishes
in invitational meets.
This season could be the best team Bloomsburg
has had in the past few years. Steve Eachus, who
placed fifth in the Pennsylvania Conference
championships, second at the IC4A's in New York
City, and ran to an Al I-American eighth place in
the NCAA Division II championships in
Springfield, Missouri, last year, will be leading
the Huskies on their crusade this fall.
The team finished sixth in the PC last year, the
best the team has ever done in the conference,
and fini~hed a respectable ninth out of 38 teams
in the IC4A competition last year. With these
accomplishments as well as a young team, the
Huskies have the potential to better their marks of
previous seasons.
Other runners to be counted on this year will be
returnees Mark Bond, Bob Kantner, Chuck
Mannix, Stan Cohen, Scott Mccorry, John
McKeever, John Mull, Rob Wintersteen, along
with some promising in-coming freshmen.
"We have a particularly tough schedule," states
Boler, "only two of our meets are home. In
addition to our regular state college competitors,
we meet a number of other strong opponents. If
we stay healthy, we shou Id be in good shape by
the time of the conference championships."

HEAD COACH
Clark Boler, a member of
the Health and Physical Education staff since 1968, is

assistant football coach at

a. number of years has been a qualified PIAA
official.

member of the 1961 National Championship
Football team at the University of Alabama and a
relief pitcher in baseball for the Crimson Tide. He

ASSISTANT COACH
Assistant coach Jeff
Brandt, a senior and former
BSC Harrier who has completed his eligibility, will be
assisting Coach Boler this
fall.
He was a team captain in
1974 and 1975 prior to running in the first position on
the 1973 team. He placed
high at the Pennsylvania
Conference championships in 1975 and 1976 to
help the team finish seventh and sixth
respectively in that competition. He was also
instrumental in helping the Huskies finish ninth
in the 1976 IC4A's meet in New York City and
individually placed 29th in the noted Berwick
Marathon in 1976.
His experience as a captain and participation in
the Bloomsburg chapter of Fellowship of
Christian Athletes well qualifies him to convey
leadership to the Husky thinclads.
