They finished their season of dual meets with a winning record of 9 to 2. Next year should be super and Alta should lead the sport of wres- tling with wrestlers like these. Wrestlers said that it was not only their own determination, but the determination of the coaches that kept them going. Each wrestler believed in the words of coach Hendershot when he said, Heights by great men. reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight; but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night.

The team wasn't expected to do well this year but surprised every- one by peaking early in the season. The team did slack-off somewhat but qicked up pace again. Coach McConnell hoped to see his girls peak strongly again at the state- games. I always think that we can nev- er be as good the next year but the J.V. players always surprise me.
