JIM TAFI' shows Lake View during school's first league win that KP's heavyweights know how to use a takedown. Impressive Wrestling Tenrn Places Sixth in First Season Kelvyn Park's wrestling team, .hampered by injuries, completed the season with an excellent record-consid- ering that this was the first year of the team's existence. The mat men's league record of two wins and five losses enabled KP to place 'sixth in a league of eight. The team's overall record was 3-8 with league vic- tories over Foreman and Lake View and a practice victory over Walther Lutheran. Four of the wrestlers deserve special commendation for qualifying for entrance in the city tournament. They are J oe Gutierrez Q112. lbs.j, Louis Ortiz Q154 lbs.j, John Brzezinski f165 lbs.j, and Jim Taft in the heavyweight class. The team had a stroke of bad luck when they lost the services of two important wrestlers for approxi- mately half of the season. Team Captain Dan Hala- zonitis had a leg injury and Al Sepulveda was ineligi- ble. Even with these handicaps, both men were able to stack up a total of five wins each, three of which were in league competition. With such encouragement during the team's first season, Coach Richard Kerby is looking forward to next season's meets. 1965-66 RESULTS I Kelvyn Park Opponent PRACTICE GAMES 22 .......... '. .
