PAGE FOURTEEN Norman, Moorhead Will Give Cross Country Team 1-2 Punch By DAVE LEONARD An Englishman and a native Pennsylvanian could supply the punch coach Chick Wer ner needs to win his second straight IC4A cross country title in November. Gerry Norman, who caine to Penn State from Bristol, Eng land, and Steve Moorhead, from Harbor Creek, Pa„ will undoubt edly be at the front of the pack in most of State’s dual meets this year. Norman got a good running background in the Royal Air Force in 1955. He was stationed in Hong Kong, and most of the meets there were held against the local Chinese population. "The Chinese are good long dis tance runners (four miles and up), but they are not 100 good in the middle distances," Nor man said. After being discharged in 1955 Norman went to Canada for a year where he picked up valu able training experience. He enrolled at Penn State in 1959 and had a brilliant sophomore year in both track and cross coun try. Gerry finished ninth in the IC4A cross country meet and sixth in the nationals at Michi gan Slate. In the NCAA track champion ships in June he finished fourth in the three mile run, and he said that his performance there has given him more confidence for the coming year. He is an advertising major and hopes to pursue that field after graduation. Moorhead came to Penn State with no previous cross country | experience, but he had out- \ standing times of 4:26 in the mile and 1:57 in the half-mile in high school. Moorhead says that his best meet last year was the Navy en counter when he finished in a Ihree way tie with Norman and the departed Herm Weber for first place. Moorhead finished tenth in the IC4As last year and 34th in the nationals. He finished second in 1960 and fifth last year in the 3.000 meter steeplechase in the NCAA track meet.
