Wrestling '71 Mountaineer matmen split their season smack down the middle: seven wins and seven losses in dual meets. Under John Kreusi's aegis, the squad culminated its encounters with third places during the OCC tournament and at the District 1 and 2 meet, and a seventh for the trip to the NAIA national meeting. Mike McCoy and Brick Woodward, both named All-American, also re- ceived outstanding wrestler nods. McCoy grappled his way to firsts at OCC and district, and a second at the national. Woodward captured a first at district and a third at national. l42

Victories at the Northwest Nazarene Invitational, the first of the year, and at the Whitworth College Quad. heightened spirits. In addition, the team defeated the University of Idaho, a team that had beat them during the Whitman Invita- tional. At that meet, EOC placed second out of seven entrants. Feasel especially praised Greg Letts and Tim Smith, four year runners for the Mountaineers. Letts has held rec- ords in the 2 and 3 mile runs and holds high tally for mile and steeplechase. He was chosen outstanding trackman in 1969. He comes from Toledo. Smith, from Heppner, was a member of the 1969 NAIA district champion team, honorary tri- captain this year, and, like Letts, a four year letterman. The team finished the seasorf with wins over 22 teams and losses to seven, competing with colleges, universities, and community colleges from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
