Domenalla. s mnasts The Freshman Gymnastic Team's 5-5 record was not a true indication of how good the team was, according to Coach Beckwith. The many freshmen that competed in sophomore level meets hurt the team this year. He is, however, optimistic about the team's future. The sophomore squad ended their season with a 4-6 conference record. Coach Beckwith feels the team was hindered by the low number of team members and their lack of experience. Only five of the 10 sophomore gymnastists par- ticipated in the sport before this year. Senior Stan Kutin, MVP and all-around man, executes a manuever on the high bar.
