Built Up To Break Down ALMOST PINNED-Scott Sabo has a strong hold on his opponent as he prepares to pin him. Scott, a returning wrestler won his match. MENTAL MATCH-Tim Keesling prepares mentally tor his match while watching the one before his. Mental preparation is as important as being physically ready. 1 .1 ,,,, After using last years season as a building season the wrestlers used this year to show their opponents just what awesome things they could do on the mat. Wrestling takes a lot of patience and perfect timing. Each wrestler waits for the opponent to make a mistake and then they pounce on that weak spot. The wrestlers were coached by lohn Marchak a new face at BR. in coaching. Mr. Marchak had many things to be proud ot in his mat mon- sters. Senior Mickey Latham went to the M.E.C. and won first in the heavy weight division.

Looking forward to the race ahead of them, lennifer Vaughn and Kim DeWeese plan their strategy. Year ln And Year Out . . The junior high cross country teams ran the year in by beginning to prepare for the season two weeks before school was to start. Over distance was the key to the jr. l'1igh's success. They spent time on posture, breathing, form, arm carriage, and race strategy. The seventh graders worked hard from the beginning, so that they could be winners. Proof lies in their season record of seven wins and no losses. They were also named the Selma Invitational Champs. The eighth graders worked hard, but more than that they had to work together. Placing second in the Sel- ma Invitational they were six and one in duel meets, With two rookie coaches and a lot of excited runners, the jr. high track teams were ready to run the school year out, leaving only two weeks and one day of un-run time. Due to the weather, these teams coached by Mr. Paul Harper and Miss Debra Claghorn often faced the disappointment of cancelled or postponed track meets. Many times they were prepared to run and be- cause of the rain, they were left with nowhere to go. Both the boys and girls track teams contended with four schools. They also ran in the Henry County Meet giving the boys a second place rank and the girls a fourth place. Jr. High Trackfl 39
