AKING THE MCDVE with a new coach, Varsity wrestlers obtain a 4-7 record and Dave Knieriern qualifies for Sections It takes guts to be able to walk out on the mat alone. There is no one to help you except yourself. ' There is no one to take the credit or the blame, said Coach Rod Edwards when describing the chal- lenges faced by the Cou- gar wrestling team. The thirteen team mem- bers began meeting in October once a week, by the end of the month, Striving for the pin, Mike Claypool turns his opponent Scan Johnson with a half- nelson. q-If TW Q, f' practices were three times a week. In November the team began to practice everyday. Developing a positive attitude and im- proving a performance in conditioning were a- mong goals for the year. The team felt the new coach was an added ad- vantage. He listens and will sit down and talk to you one on one, said Sean Rose. He's more than a coach, he's a friend, said Dave Knier- iem. The team suffered from injuries and ended the season with a record of 4- 7. On one occasion strep throat was in the air during the team's trip to Nevada Union. All of the wrestlers were feeling sick and only four Varsity members ended up wrestling. The wrestlerettes, Hea- ther Dotterman, Kathy Lebar, and Susan Revere were there to offer moral support. We go to all the home matches and keep score. I also inter- pret for Ramon since he's deaf, said two year wrestlerette Heather Dot- terman. In the CAL toumament Iason Birrer, Mike Clay- pool, and Dave Knier- iem qualified for Sub- Sections by placing fourth, second and third respectively. At Sub- Sections the team placed ninth over all as Dave Knieriem qualified for sections by winning two consecutive matches and placed second over all. He was also named out- standing wrestler for the Varsity team. Varsity Wrestlin
