Leader of the pack Eric Kolstad only wrestler to place at districts Despite the fact that the Green Mountain wrestling team consisted of many wrestlers with the potential to take a state title, they had a season that was filled with many disappointments. ln the words of Mark Kinsey, ul don't think we were really a close team, but we had a lot of potential and next yearis team will be a lot better. Green Mountain was coached for the tenth year by Craig Place. He was as- sisted by Alex Ritz, Tim Ruel, Mark Roberts and Phil Borshell. The Rams filled all three levels of teams from Var- and a steady diet. The team captains for Varsity were Mark Kinsey, Mike Lucas, and Tim Detwiler. Junior Varsity's captains var- ied from week to week. Some of the fortunage few were Todd Scott, Troy Blanchard and Doug Threldkeld. The wrestling team suffered many heartbreaking losses despite their tal- ent. At the end of the season they had an uplifting win against Lakewood. Mark Kinsey felt that, Lakewood was our key dual even though it was too late to make a difference but we did show that we couldn't be shut out. This attitude is sure to be reborn in sity to Freshmen. A problem for some of the team was losing weight. Therefore, the one thing 1989.

Scott Rosencranz cradles his oppon nt. he Last Year Coach Craig Place Retires As A 10 Year Coach At the end of the Wrestling season Coach Craig Place stepped down as the Head wrestling coach. He has coached Green Mountain Wrestling for the last ten years. His coaching helped many wrestlers reach state. He did a wonderful job for the Rams. His skill as a coach was witnessed at the Lakewood match. The dual against the Lakewood Ti- gers was indeed a great night for all three Green Mountain teams. Eric Kolstad placed at Varsity Districts. Eric had placed fourth which was one spot down from being a state qualifier. The junior Varsity team also had an exceptional time at Districts. Green Mountain sent eighteen people to Dis- tricts, having ten of the eighteen people placing. The team leaders were Tom Swartwood, Todd Scott, and Doug Threldkeld who took either first or sec- ond. Todd Scott who took first did say, I have taken first in Districts the last two years and it feels great. As Coach Place quit Eric Kolstad has something to say, It's going to be strange next year not having him with us, because he made you want to work. me it Tom Swartwood breaks his VA opponent to the mat. , in f, f 4' 'f-' a ' f, C05 fy fm. f.:wa,x,am1,,Aa+vfw,af,. 4 WW all ff ft 82 Wrestling :SW 'C it aa' H ,...
