Cross-Country Running

For the first time in several years Vic Cross Country runners go to Winter Tournament with the prospect of making a better than mediocre showing.

Brightest prospect is third-year science student Tony Woolhouse, who romped home 7th at the Wellington Centre Champs two weeks ago. He is very likely to finish with the first six at tournament.

Former almost sub four minute miler Dave ("Dish") Bullock is quite fast over longer distances like the 7 1/2-mile tournament course. Unlike some Vic runners he believes that a little training doesn't do one any harm and consequently he is fit enough to make his going to Dunedin worthwhile.

Others in the team are Dick Mace, Ian Stockwell, George Seconi, Bob Wilcox, Warwick Wright and Geoff Rashbrooke.

While there is no obvious individual winner running for Vic, there is a possibility we could win the cross-country team's race. Each university's first six home count for points.
