Schoenebeck Doing
Good Harrier Job
For a sophomore with an outstanding freshman record to
live up to, Clem Schoenebeck is doing an exceptional job for
Coach Chick Werner's Lion cross-country team.
Last year, Schoenebeck was one o£ three stars on the un
beaten freshman squad, finishing in a tie for first with team
mates Ed Moran and Fred Kerr in both frosh meets.
This season, he has rapidly ad
justed himself to varsity action,'
becoming one of the Lion main-'
stays along with Moran and Kerr.;
Schoenebeck said that he did
not find the transition from fresh
man to varsity running to be very
different. He said that “you get
the foundation during your fresh
man season and build yourself up
for varsity action. The biggest
difference is the competition—it’s
a lot tougher.”
Clem called the Cornell team
the one the Lions had to get
under their belts. 'That meet
did a lot for the confidence and
spirit of'the team."—he said. "It
was the one to start out with."
He readily admitted that he had
the usual butterflies before the
Cornell encounter. He said that it
was only natural since it was his
first varsity meet and the team
was running on a strange course.
In talking about the race it
self. Schoenebeck said that most
of the credit for his showing
should go to Kerr who helped '
him immensely by giving him
encouragement when he needed J
it. He said that Kerr was a great
aid in his getting over the
hump.
According to Schoenebeck, var
sity running does not change an
individual’s plans for a race. ‘The
big thing is learning how to pace
yourself for the five miles,” he
said. “However,” he added, “there
are races when you have to for
get about pacing if you want to
win.”
The youthful sophomore had
nothing but praise for his. two
college coaches. Werner and
Norm Gordon. 'They get a lot
out of us. They are not only
good coaches, but also show a
good deal of concern about you
as well as your performances."
he said.
Werner also had some praise
for Schoenebeck. He described'
his promising harrier as a depend-!
able runner who can always be'
counted on to give his best ’at all,
times. |
He said that Schoenebeck was
one of the hardest workers on
the team and always trained him
self diligently.
With two years, of varsity run
ning ahead of him. the Lions look
for better things to come. Know
ing CTem, he will try- hard not
to disappoint them. I
