Girl gymnasts achieve goals with practice on bars, beam, mat The gymnastics team at Clark is the only high school group in town which competes in the Nevada Women's Gymnastics Association. Western and Eldorado are the only other schools that even have coaches for gymnastics. Coach John Appcrson, the coach at Clark, believes if most of the schools can start a program then the district may begin allotting money for an intramural gymnastics program including salaries for coaches. At the state meet girls from Clark in Class III placed first in each of the three events: Sherrie Philip, vault; Jean-nine Peterson, beam; Tina Varlcy, bars. These three girls also captured the top three slots in all-around competition. The Class II meet was held at the end of February. Barbara Boone, Marlene Philip, and Tracy Zimmer were the only girls on the Clark team ranked as Class II. While Class 111 gymnasts perform only the compulsory events. Class II gymnasts must perform the compulsory events plus optional events for which they create their own routines. Coach Appcrson felt many girls drop out of gymnastics once in high school because of the many other activities available. The girls who last more than a year arc devoted and practice long hours to achieve their goals”, he explained. Gymnastics 177
