The Cougars didn't score an abundance of points since the competition consisted of such track powers as Seattle Pacific Uni versity, University of Oregon, University of Washington, and Montana State Col leges, however the local crew did present a fine showing when it came to junior college competition. The Cougar gals came home with four seventh places and a best-effort fifth in the overall competition.

He added, "It's not that I wanted to get out of coaching, but to give someone else a crack at the job." This comes as somewhat of a surprise to many people considering the relative success of McGriff's Cougars during his four years as head coach (they only had one losing season). "I feel good about many things we have accomplished, both individual and team accomplishments. However, I regret not being able to accomplish more and I also regret that despite the advancements we have made, the football program is still confronted with a lot of adversity," said McGriff. "Adversity, that has and will continue to tend to reduce the amount of time the head coach can spend on coaching as well as affect his quality of work." But perhaps his biggest regret may be the fact that he is going through with his decision to resign. "In a way, even though I'mcoH that I have done the right thing foM self and my family, I regret quittB cause it goes against what I belie] On his replacement, McGriff sail didn't know much about his styldofn but with all experience he should do* As for his plans, McGriff said,'11 have any specific plans at this ml but I do plan to stay in coaching! college level."
