The Spartan's problem, in the past, was the lack ofall around strength in each weight class the eminence of only a few wrestlers empowered the squad. But many things have changed since then, for the Spartan's progress has metamorphized into the most select season Memorial has offered in the last three years. Memorial improved their dual meet totals to 6-7, re-establishing themselves after a dismal 2-win sea- son last year, and their best team efforts would unques- tionably be enviable victories over powerhouses Beloit Memorial and Janesville Craig. Senior Don Shipman and Junior Rich Purcell were the Spartan's most proficient grapplers, as both were conference first place finishers net- ting the team an overall third place rank fbettering last year's 5th place at Conferencel. They both were Sectional qualifiers and Purcell was Memorial's only State Meet 110 representative. Head coach Frank Zuerner praised the efforts of all the Varsity members, but especially in Most Valuable Wrestler, Rich Purcell and Most Improved Wrestler Mike Mutchler, for really coming through when needed. Honorary captains for the squad were Mike Foy and Don Shipman. The Freshman Program should receive special recognition for their remarkable coaching and achievements this season. Head coach Bill Cary boasts a perfect, 8-0 undefeated season, four individual city cham- pions in Paul Rausch-98, Kevin Waggoner -105, Dana Sundby-112, and Fred Flynn-119, and a fantastic, long team effort by the entire squad. Tom Spurly and Kevin Waggoner were chosen Most Improved Players and Dana Sundby was the Most Valuable Player, who wrestled to an 11-0 individual record. Tri-Captains for the squad were Craig Webb, Paul Yde, and Dave McCaw.
