It was a misfor- tune of the season that John Lanzone, who placed fifth in state last year, did | not qualify for state this year. He won, however, 20 matches during the sea- ee plus winning the Riverview Tour- | nament where John beat his opponent 17 to 3. “It felt good beating my oppo- | nent, Fred Cantley from Ritenour, who | was seated first,’ he said. Like John Lanzone, Junior wrestler Kurt Dick also had a very good season and qualified for sectionals, but was likewise unable to qualify for state. Sophomore Pat Jansen, was the only wrestler to go to state. “It felt great just Wrestlers with dedication to be there and wrestle against the best in the state,” he recalled beaming. Pat's over-all record for this year was 23-14-2. = Legs and arms go flying as referees look on. Roger Behlmann waits for the starting whistle from the referee in a wrestling meet against St. Charles.
