Holding Their Own The 1982-83 Varsity Wrestling team had a proud 5-4 record, displaying a hard playing and fighting spirit through this sea- son. Under the leadership of Speedy Murillo and Mike Re- galado, both Seniors, the Varsi- ty Wrestling team had 3 Seniors qualifying for CIF meets. The team had an excellent tourna- ment performance at the El Rancho and Bonita meets. The Varsity team that returned for this season had hardened veterans of three years. Nine of the 13 starters will be returning again to play next season, giv- ing more depth to the Amat Varsity wrestling team. The program that is being built is a very strong one, the men work- ing hard, stronger with more determination. The team still has a lot of room to improve, working on win- ning more meets, and making a bigger impact in league compe- titions.
