TOIH Janecke, Alan Jubllef First Season For Gymnasts Roy Spasich shows excellent form on a dismount from the still rings during a meet at Marshall. This year's gymnastics team, under the coaching of Mr. Fred XfVinter, did not participate in varsity compe- tition. The season was extremely successful for the boys, who are sophomores. All participants showed improve- ment throughout the season. Outstanding performers this season were Roy Spasich, Tom Yverginz, and Scott Noah. All three were all-around gymnasts in that they competed in all the events. Be- cause the team was only in sophomore competition, there were no letters awarded. Three boys competed in the state meet, and if any of them should place, they will probably receive letters in the future. Numeral winners for gymnastics were Wally Busallachi, Andy Klitgaard, Scott Noah, Roy Spasich, Dave Strelka, and Ron Treants. The team had a record thus far of five wins and four losses. They had one more meet yet to be completed as the Gavel Went to press. After finishing this competition, some of the team members will compete in the city and state gymnastics meets.

The boys are more seasoned and have more confidence. Many of the boys have shown improve- ment over last year. Participating in track this season were 103 boys. Dave Nicholson, Mike Stern, and Terry Nitka show promise in the sprints. The hurdle team is strong with Bill Venski and Lee Kotke running the high hurdles and Joe Palicki and Rod Sciborski in the lows. The distance picture seems especially bright with john Seebert, Marshall's only track letterman, and Jim Kexel in the mile. Freshmen Rodrick Holloway and Doug Krueger also show promise. Running the 880 are Steve Moldenhauer and Bob Graves. Dick Schultz, Keith Shep- ard, and Don Nunemaker ran the 440. Practice began early this year, for a few of the boys. Several distance runners began training outside as early as February 6. The sprinters practiced starts and baton passes in the halls. Early this season, four boys, Dave Nicholson, Dave Ovshak, Mike Stern, and Gary Duval, participated in the Journal relays. Finishing second in the preliminary heat with a time of 1:12, they failed to qualify for the iinals in the evening. 174 41
