season, tournaments Wrestling is the up and comin sport, and Cha- tard matches are a perfect example ogits growing pop- ularity. Not only do the grapplers exhibit great versa- tility in all situations, but they have shown true team spirit along with individual determination. The specta- tors are also increasing each year, which adds much spirit to the matches. This year the Varsity Wrestling Team was under the new direction of Coach Richard Dullaghan. The boys responded positively to his efforts and ended the season with an 8-4 record. There were several firsts for Chatard this year. They placed fourth in the Indianapolis City Tour- nament, the highest in the school's history, and produced their first City Champ, sophomore Van Petit at 107 lbs. The team also placed third in the Indiana State Sectionals, behind North Central and Carmel. Chatard had four wrestlers in the finals, all placing second. Another accomplishment was made by jack Williams, who took first place in the Carmel Invita- tional Tourney, at 130 lbs. The team is loosing only two seniors, with ten varsity returning.
