Frosh-Soph Grapplers Inexperienced But Strong Quality, not quantity definitely applies to Mesa's Frosh-Soph Wrestling team. Two members of the squad, Gary Ferguson and Steve Perez, led their team with impressive records and a good number of pins. All of the wrestlers showed definite improvement as the season progressed. The young matmen had a good league record even though they did not have a full team. San Clemente and University fell easily to Mesa wrestlers. But Mesa grapplers did not fare quite as well against Dana Hills and Mission Viejo, losing nar- rowly to both schools. Their most decisive victory came against Estancia in a non-league match. Mesa matmen pinned almost every opponent of the stunned Estancia team. Coach Bob Hernandez and recent Mesa graduate Dan Duddridge seemed to be very pleased with the per- formance ofthe young Mesa wrestlers. They all seem to feel that in years to come Mesa teams are to be the strong ones. l. Ken Arimura seems amused with practice. 2. Jeff Arbuckle will be pinned by his mistakes. 3. Dave MacAllister pins his opponent. 4. Ken Arimura drags by for a takedown. 5. Cliff Elbourn goes for a cross-body ride. 6. Mike Scarlett tries fornan escape. 7. Marlon Liotta, ready to wrestle. 8.

ymnastics Team Has An Excellent Season This year's l977-78 girls gymnastics squad had a good season considering the inexperience of most the gym- nasts and a new coach Ms. Lyn Steg. The Varsity was led mostly by freshmen, Kathy Mol- lica and junior Yvonne O'Dell. Anita Masino and Dawn Schmisser also helped as Mesa finished suprisingly high in league finals. The .l.V. team coached by Karen Stolp, did an excel- lent job this past year, led by Tanya Mcnutt who re- ceived five first places' in the first tri-meet against Estan- cia and Newport Harbor. Lastly, the gymnastics team would like to give a spe- cial thanks to Mrs. Carolyn Mollica, Kelly Gallagher and Julie Fisher for managing this year's team. l.
