Perry Durke James Miller David Phelps Kevin Roberts Mike Roberts (A) After a front flip, David Phelps mokes it look os easy as playing hopscotch. With his arms out- stretched, he still must moke the landing as smooth os possible. (B) Whether he will lond safely is anyone's guess os David Phelps does o loyout bock flip, lucky for him, the mot is foirly soft. (C) landing after o Hol- lander vault, Kevin Roberts, a senior, comes down with ease and poise. A smooth loading is just impor- tant os the maneuver execution. (D) Perry Durkee makes an 'I' support on the parallel bars. This partic- ular movement takes much strength in the arm mus- cles and precision body movements. (E) A hond stood on the rings takes all the strength Joe Class hos as he slowly eases his way up until his body is parallel with the rings. Joe is not pictured in the mug shots. (F) Tom Vanover shows his skill on the vaulting horse os he does a straddle vault. Split second timing is important in this maneuver or the participant could land on his head. Timing, Poise Tell the Tale Whether doing a Hollander vault or a straddle vault, the gymnast must practice hours and hours plus nursing sore muscles. Led by Seniors Joe Glass and Kevin Roberts, the team had what Coach Con- rado Gutierrez described as a “real good season. Although there was only one returning gymnast this year. Coach Gutierrez said, wait until next year. A B C 166 — Boys' Gymnastics 7!
