Intramurals: more for fun Intramurals are held after school to help students to progress in the sports that they do. It is also to help students communicate with other stu- dents while doing something that they enjoy. This year there were three dif- ferent intramural 'sportsg wrestling. gymnastics, and basketball. Lllres- tling started on November I, and went through to Christmas. They worked on different moves and the techniques of wrestling for days after school for an hour and an half each week. Besides working on just their skills, they also lifted weights. Twen- ty-eight eighth graders participated in this sport. Mr. Hopkins said. lUrestling is a great sport because you only compete against your own weight. There were some outstand- ing wrestlers this year. They should do even better next year. Gymnastics was taught by Mrs. Beatty. It -started in February and went on into March. There were fif- teen girls that participated in this in- tramural. They participated three days a week for an hour and a half. They mainly started with a warm-up and stretches. Some of them did floor tumbling while others did the balance beam, vault, and the uneven parallel bars. There were different skills that she stressed the girls to learn such as cartwheels, raundoffs, walkovers, leaps and jumps, hand springs, and some others. Mrs. Beatty replied, I taught gymnastics intramurals be- cause I love gymnastics. I competed .... ...-.... .-......-..-... ...i..-.4.......,.,-....-... ......-.. - -.i..f,-.1 when I was in school, and it's always stayed with me. The last intramural that was held was basketball. It went on for two months with fifteen boys participat- ing. They practiced free throws, how to shoot, and played various games against one another. Mr. Moehlman mainly wanted the boys to have fun and improve their basketball skills. The boys had excellent attitudes and every day they played very well, im- proving more and more. The pur- pose of basketball is to provide an opportunity for people who didn't play on the basketball team, and to have fun! stated Mr. Moehlman.
