Doug Jack- son, for example, is one of our nearly undefeated wrestlers. Doug does his best, and his best usual- ly gets the job done right! Another one of our awesome wrestlers is Ken Kurth. Kenny has only lost two matches throughout this season. Our wrestlers were in- vited to two out of town tournaments this year. The first trip they took was during Christmas when they flew to Reno, and, of course, they left with a third place trophy. The second trip our wrestlers took was to St. George, Utah where they brought home a fourth place trophy: Overall, our wrestlers have done an outstanding job, and we owe a great deal of their excellence to their coach, Mr. Jim May. 2 S 1.2 WWW ' - Doug Jackson goes for a pin.
