BOYS GYMNASTICS Team places seventh in state tournament The boys gymnastics team con- tinued to improve, and in its third year developed into a contender for district and state honors. Though a change of season from winter to fall allowed more practice space, it af- forded much less time to prepare for the first meet. This lack of time for preparation showed in the first weeks of the season. As the season progressed, gymnastics of high qua- lity and several exciting contests helped to draw large crowds to home meets. At the district meet, six gymnasts qualified for the state meet, as the team really put it all together, mak- ing very few mistakes and scored 110.27 points, highest ever. The team was led by senior ring- man and district champion Jim Cof- fel: by another senior ringman, Gene Singer, also team captain and the team's premier horizontal-bar com- petitor: and by district sidehorse champion Rick Lewis who was pressed into service as team all- around in the middle of the season. Lewis, along with Jeff Lind who finished a close second in the dis- trict meet, and Dave Labs fourth at district, composed one of the finest trios of sidehorse men in the state. Only at district did all three hit their routines in the same meet. Pat Crowell, the other team captain, competed all-around C all eventsj the full season, and was the number one man in longhorse vault- ing. Of these gymnasts, only Coffel did well enough to qualify for the finals. Coach John Turchi was pleased with the season as a whole, and said, Our district meet, with its twenty point improvemen t over last. year's district, was definitely the high point of the season. We finished at about seventh place in the state and next year's team will be up there, too, if not higher. TOP: Rick Lewis shows good form on the sidehorse.
