Dedicated Love What made the 1980-81 Varsity Wrestling so good was love, yes love. They had to love it when their opponent was stalling and they had to give him a cross face. To make the squad they had to love to wrestle. This love for the sport made them as good as they were. Through all the days of practice it took more than dedica- tion. lt was the love for the sport that kept them going. There was a dif- ference between wrestling and any other sport. When they wrestled it was just one onone com- petition. It was two men down on the N-age . mat fighting their heart out. When they lost, they suffered the agony of defeat, when they won, they celebrated the joy of victory. They knew before ever going out on the mat that it was that way, and it was going to be tough. They wrestled because they were thirteen dedicated men who loved the sport and loved to win, and win they did. Tfggf. g ' .. ft W 4 , ,Wt . gf iii?
