Wrestlers Run to Stay A top Ivy For the wrestling team warming up at the track was a main aspect of the after-school practices that lasted up to two-and-a-half hours each. Wres- tlers ran fifty-yard sprints with twenty sit-ups and push-ups in between every run. One hundred yard sprints and 440 yard sprints had to be run under ninety seconds each or be run again. Now that ' s a workout! This was the way to reach their goal of placing in the top five at the Rubi- doux tournament, where they placed second, and being in the top half at Indio where they placed ninth out of eighteen teams. Sophomore Ron Main commented, It ' s a first class team. According to junior Donald Ciota. a three-year member, the success of the team was due to Coach Dick Gibson. He added, He ' s tough; he does a lot of wrestling himself, and he ' s good. (After the completion of this page, the wrestling team and the entire campus were shocked and saddened by the death of Coach Dickie Gib- son on January 15, 1981) FRONT ROW Launa Rutt, Marcella Loper.

You ' d know the game was still going on when the ball hits you on the top of the head, explained Pat Campbell. The Varsity and JV soccer teams prac- ticed a minimum of two-and-a-half hours a day and often played practice games against each other. Ross An- derson, a JV member commented, Sometimes we even beat the varsity in practice games. Could their eye- sight be failing due to their old age? Head Coach Reggie Kirk was aided by John Hoyer, assistant for both JV and Varsity. Despite a mediocre sea- son. Kirk stated, I belong to this school, and I ' m proud to be a part of it. I emphasized to the teams that they are representatives of the school and to do the best they can, but to enjoy doing it. Jeff Chebahtah, one of the two sen- ior team members wasn ' t too sure how to predict the season. We have start- ed learning how to work with each other. Early season wins for both JV and varsity proved encouraging. Soccer 79
