The Hottest Winter Sport The 1982-83 Boys Swim team had the most successful season of all the winter sports. Taking fourth in League, the team had an official re- cord of 8-3. With the duel meets in- cluded, the team finished with a record of 14-5. Seniors Gary Henderson and Mark Knox served as co-captains of the team. Henderson commented that the team was so successful because al- though we had talent, there were no superstars. We worked as a team - everyone did their best. Coach Leon- hart was also sighted as the reason for such a successful season. We had a better coach than anyone in the league. Henderson continued. Highlights of the season included the Jeffco Invitational, League Relays, and the League A meet. The team seemed to agree that the prelims of the League A meet was their best meet. That morning, stated sopho- more John McCaslin, we all swam our best meet of the season. The team succeeded in qualifying their medly relay team for State with a time of 1:47. The relay team consisted of senior Gary Henderson, junior Ed Nelson, and sophomores Jim Knox and Mark Erickson. Nelson also quali- fied for State in the 50 free, and Jim Knox qualified in the 100 breat. Sen- ior Mark Knox and Gary Parham, ju- niors Mark Anderson, and Mike Roose, and sophomore John McCaslin all went to State as alternates. However, during the State competi- tion the qualifiers didn't swim their hottest meet. Henderson commented, A'We choked, but it was still a lot of fun. As for next season, the team should be just as successful. We all learned a lot and improved this season. stated McCaslin. Next year we're gonna' be the best!! Boys Swim Team: G. Morrissette, S.

Grapplers Go For Gusto The 1982-83 wrestling team was considered a very competitive group. The varsity wrestling team had 3 wins and 5 challenging losses. Wrestling this year was extremely tough for a few of our wrestlers. The team may not have been as big as others, but the coach taught alot about the sport. The coach was Craig Place, who has been head coach for 3 years. The GMHS team had many individuals that were assets to the team such as David Hoffsch- neider. Mike Pijanowski, Tom Novo- sel, Bill Peters, Tery Detwiler, and Brad Christiansen. They achieved many points and success together, and team enthusiasm was theirs. Place said the Arvada West Tournament, held on January 15, was the bes tournament GMHS wrestled. The Golden match was considered by Place to be the most exciting and the most well-played match of the season.
