wfcstlin The i979-80 Pioneer Wrestling squad enjoyed a successful season. The l26 lb. Steve Fontana again gained Division ll All-American honors for the green and gold - becoming Post's first three-time wrestling All-American. Also travelling with Fontana to Omaha, Nebraska forthe national championships was John Rocco Cl l8 lbs.l, Kevin Smith U34 lbs.l, Steve Candela U42 lbs.l, and Dave Ruvola at l67 lbs. Unfortunately Fontana was the only Pioneer to bring home a medal. Senior Steve Candelo ended a fine wrestling career here at Post, posting 56 wins in his career including numerous tournament places. Among his tourna- ment places are a 2nd and lst in the Post tournament, a 6th, 5th, and 3rd in the Metropolitan Conference Tournament, a 5th in the Coast Guard Invitational, and o 4th and 2nd in the Eastern Regionals. Junior Steve Fontana's 25-4 record of the i979-80 season gives him lO2 career wins, leaving him tive short ot Don Jant- zen, Post's all-time record holder for career wins. Steve will most probably go on to be Post's winningest wrestler of all- time next season.

With a scoring average over 2l points per game, Patrice became the first Lady Pioneer to crack the lOOO point barrier in school history. Fans witnessed many fine perform- ances by a trio of seniors, which in- cluded guards Sue O'Connor and Mary Sokolowski, and forward Cindy Lowen, who's dead eye at the free throw line rattled many an opponent. A pair of freshman, Sue Salg and Jean Mullady also sparked the squad's offense, as they respectively finished second and third to Ms. Walker in scoring. C.W. Post can look forward to another excellent season as these fine young women put together another power on the road to national promin- ence.
