Wrestling History Repeats Itself This year ' s 1987 88 Varsity Wrestling team had its best season ever with a record of 13 wins and 2 losses. Out of 13 Varsity wrestlers, 1 advanced to regional competition. They were as follows: Sophomore Doug Rigney, 2nd place; Freshman Jaime Murray, 1st place; Senior Terry Obermeyer, 3rd place; Senior Ronnie Payton, 2nd place; Senior Jerry Richards, 1st place; Senior Donnie Rigney, 2nd place; Senior Tim Davis, 1st place; Senior Brian Harrington, 2nd place; Senior Robert Averitte, 3rd place; and Sophomore Adam Browner, 2nd place. Obermeyer, Richards, Davis, and Averitte all advanced to state competition. Davis and Obermeyer were the only two wrestlers that advanced to the final rounds. Davis won 3rd place honors and Obermeyer took 2nd. The most valuable wrestler for the 87-88 season was Terry Obermeyer with Brian Har- rington winning citizenship. The most important meet the gropplers faced this year was the dual meet against Beech Grove. I feel that my wrestlers improved a great deal, stated Coacii David Walpole.

Aqua Hawks Float to the Top Although their record of 6-10 doesn ' t show it, every girl improved over her best times from the previous year. The team was very short on numbers, es- pecially since two key swimmers moved, but it will have a strong nucleus for next season.

The Most Valuable Swimmer Award went to Junior Heather Berwick. Soph- omore Marya Miller received the Cit- izenship Award. I was really surprised, Marya said. There were a lot of people who deserved it. Coach T. J. Whitfield thinks next year looks very favorable. I look for more girls out for the team,- there will be a strong senior class and a large group of freshmen. I hope to have the second winning season in the school history and an individual Sectional, Conference and County Champ. 86 Women ' s Swimming
