However, not everything fell in place for the Lions, enabling Frostburg to capture its second AMCC title in three years. "Two of our men (Dan Croft and Mike Barlett) were sick the week prior to the meet," said Cooper. "Dan has been a very steady runner for us and I believe he was the third or fourth best runner in the AMCC. Behrend skiers, riders deserve a team by Andy McNeil staff writer Erie, including Behrend, is infa mous for its large quantities of snow. University Park is equally infamous for it's large quantities of students. Now wouldn't it make sense that there should be a ski and snowboard team where the snow is? Such is not the case. Behrend does not have a ski team even though it is in a colder, snowier environment than main campus and a ski resort is 15 minutes from here. A ski team could actually become a major sport if es tablished here. It would be like any other sport with a season filled with competitions. Yet it would differ in that the team's progress would be left to one's own heart to push the limits rather than a coach. If a good team came about it could attract more stu dent skiers and riders to this campus.

Recreational intramurals offered free of charge Now that the semester is more than halfway over, some students may feel upset they didn't get to sign up for one of the many intramurals such as football or softball. There is, however, still an opportunity to participate in several free recreational intramurals-volleyhall, kick ball, and whiffle ball. Volleyball is offered from 8 until 10 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday nights in Erie Hall.

Mike has been running third for us, so there could have been some more points.- Bchrend finished only seven points behind champion Frostburg. A stronger finish by either Croft or Barlett could have secured the Lions their second straight AMCC title. However, a recovering Barlett fin ished 10th for the Lions and Croft didn't crack the top 10. "That's the nature of cross coun try. Everyone has to be healthy at the right time," said Cooper. Kevin Ritzert challenged last year's champion Andrew Musinguzi of La Roche for the first half of the race, but couldn't hang on the rest of the way. "This is a good area for a team and many seem to be interested," said in structor Jon Fisher. The university wouldn't even have to dole out a lot of money either. For example if a freeride team was formed, the team could build its own jumps on campus for big-air compe- also offered in Erie Hall from 6 until 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday nights. "I think intramurals are a great way to stay active and I enjoy participating in them a lot. - said Penn State Behrend student John Pape. "I especially like to attend whiffle ball because 1 used to play baseball and it brings back memories of playing in the backyard. - There are no fees to participate and it is open to both men and women. There is no registration required; one can simply just show up and join of the pick up teams.

Ritzert hung on to second place for the Lions, despite a challenge from the AMCC's Newcomer of the Year, Sy Farris of Frostburg. Clayton Kirschner stepped up for the Lions to try to fill the void left by Croft and Barlett. Kirschner fin ished in fifth place at a time of 29:36, the closest anyone from Behrend got to Ritzert all season. "Clayton, as did the entire team, had an extremely gutsy race and found out what he is capable of do ing," said Cooper. Also earning AMCC All-Confer ence honors for Behrend were Matt Sprang, who finished eighth, and Barlett, who took 10th. Nine of the titions. Since snow is plentiful in Erie, big-air events would help draw both student and public attention without the use of much funding. The only funding really needed would be for jerseys, transportation, and to possi bly pay an advisor. Competitions can be fun and would really help to there to help with any rules students may need. The recreational intramurals will be available all semester long. "I feel these intramurals provide a great way for students to meet new people," said Rob Wittman, Behrend intramural director. "We encourage students to come down with a friend or perhaps even bring a team from their building's floor." The intramural board has offered numerous activities in the past, including free fantasy football and hockey. It currently offers fantasy basketball .

The Behrend men will have an other opportunity to challenge Frostburg on Nov. 10, at the NCAA regional meet at Lehigh University. "The previous best Behrend fin ish ever was 15th in 1998.
