Wrestlers Reach High Goals The Right Stuff ith the return of three year 8th grade coach Wlon Hofbauer and the addition -of Ken Gosbeth, the eighth grade wrestlers hit many heights throughout the season. Goals are achieved by hard work and dedication, and the young team was certainly dedicated. Many goals were reached through the season, but two seemed the most important to wrestlers and coaches. One was the winning of the Liberty Center Tournament. Coach Hofbauer said, Winning the Liberty Center Tourney for the First time was great. The dual meets were usually dominated by the wrestlers, but one loss came to a tough Romulus team. Later in the season they had a rematch with Romulus and crushed them. Undefeated Wrestler, Brian Wingate said, Two weeks later we were prepared and beat them. llPracticing with the freshmen was really a learning process for us, said Nick Buchanan who was also un- defeated. Practicing hve days a week and sometimes on Saturdays and cutting weight were the toughest part of the year for most wrestlers. The team consisted of mainly first year wrestlers that improved during the season. Coach Hofbauer said, ulfl had to pick a wrestler that improved over the past two years it would be Erik Krieger. The eighth grade team was not undefeated, but their hard work led to a record ofwhich they can all be proud. Intense Coaches Hofbauer and Gosbeth look intentively in a close win over Romulus. 88 8th Grade 5-1 Bedford 27 vs Romulus 38 Bedford 40 vs Romulus 33 Bedford 69 vs Lincoln Park 3 Bedford 67 vs Whitmer 16 Bedford A St B l 12 vs DeVeaux 17 Bedford 60 vs Southgate 18 Victory After pinning his opponent.

Lightening Speed! Girls Run For Endurance 6 6 ran track to get in shape. It also gives me a sense of accomplishment, freshman hurdles and sprinter Cheryl Werner said. The opportunity to run track was available to any girl who was interested in running. Each girl has to be in- terested before she can meet any goals or become a good runner, distance runner Danielle Ransom said. if the runners had a field event, they completed that before they began their workout. The sprinters and dis- tance runners folIow different workout schedules. The sprinters usually ran in the sand dunes or were on the track, while the distance runners ran between five and eight miles. uThe sense of accomplishment was what really kept their determination going, stated Coach Tim Cady. uI really enjoyed watching them improve their running as the season progressed. There was no Hmost important event or person. Each participant gave a little and everyone helped each other with a little bit of encouragement, stated Cheryl Werner. 9O Front Row: Flori Mosqueda, Danielle Ransom, Laura Bristol, Dawn Philabaum, Stacy Grant, Buffy Williams, Cheryl Werner, Tami Poole, Amber Casey, Second Row: Coach Tim Cady, Deiecia Rokicki, Michelle Miller.
