Oi TliA mq £wu U e, Making it through Hell week every day of the season. Physical and mental abilities challenged. With sleeping bags, ice chests, duffel bags, pillows, and even a few walkmen, the wrestling team boarded the bus and prepared for the tournament ahead. The tournaments lasted all day. The bus usually left AHS about 6:00 AM, because weigh-ins were between 7- 8:30. During weigh-ins, you ' re always stressed about your weight, because if you were over you had to try to lose the weight fast, confided Rick Korf. After weigh-ins, the wrestlers would get back on the bus and maybe go out for break- fast. Practice consisted of stretching, running, and wrestling. I think that the running was the hardest part of practice, because you get tired fast. It helps you if you have to lose weight though, stated Larry Jared. While wrestling, the wrestlers learned moves that they could use against their oppo- nents at tournaments and matches. Winners of matches were determined by team scores. The team that pinned the most guys got points; six per pin. If there were no pins, then the score was deter- mined by how many points were scored during the match. After all the match- es, total points were calcuat- ed. This year ' s wrestling team has a lot of new guys that had potential. We fin- ished 9th in our own tourna- ment which was better than last year, concluded Larry Jared. by Kmha Smith ■ DOING SIT-UPS. the wrestling team stretches out before practice. Wrestling practices lasted from 3:00 to 6:00 with the first fifteen minutes devoted to stretching. ■ WITH HIS OPPONENT IN HEAD AND ARM , Tony Rodruiguez tries to flatten out the shoulders of this Ramona wrestler.
