A Class Tough A For the amount of time and experience that the boys had, they performed very well and certainly to the best of their ability and experience. These were Coach Toftelands thoughts about Heights' first A-squad gym- nasts. He also explained that because the squad participated in the best conference in the state, the boys' overall win and loss rec- ord did not look good this year. Because gymnastics is an individual as well as a team sport, he said more coaching time is needed, and further explained that a junior high program is a necessity. The B-squad spent time developing basic fundamentals necessary for more difficult routines. Coach Totteland added, l'The boys did do their iob and they did it well.

One ofthe highlights of the season was the victory over Mankato, who boasted a thirty-two match winning streak before wrestling Heights.
