Wrestlers Rely On Form, Skill And Strength To Build A Third Major Sport “No! I can't ©at until after weigh- ins; it will show up on the scales. These famous words were spoken this year by many on the wrestling team. They had to give up many meals and snacks in order to main- tain certain limits for their weight classes. If, on the day of the match, a wrestler was still over weight, then he would spend all day spitting off pounds, running around the gym. or soaking in the whirlpool in order to lose water weight. Wrestlers sacrificed from three to four hours in the afternoons and two to three hours on Saturday mornings in preparation for numerous match- es. Coach Hendershot stated, “We've been in better condition this year than any other team. Unlike other sports, wrestling relies on the individual performance as well as team-work. Careful training and the proper use of holds, coup- led with a wiry body and an alert mind are the ingredients necessary to become an excellent wrestler. Add confidence to these, and su- periority is achieved. The wrestler's training program was under the direction of coaches Jim Callison and Eric Hendershot. to keep the wrestlers trim and tough. They had to rely on form, skill and strength rather than just weight. Workouts included bodybuilding techniques and strenuous exercises to get in shape in order to compete in the matches. Much of the competition was within the team itself. In several of the weight catagories there were “wrestle-offs each week to see who would make the varsity team. Because of this, there often was a different line-up at each match. The thrill of seeing the wrestlers work and the triumph of winning made the student body proud for their outstanding abilities and perse- verance. VARSITY— Moc Fnschnecht. Row 2: Mark Reynolds.
