Wrestlers Go Semi-State The most solid team I ' ve coached in 22 years, was the way coach Al Smith commented about this year ' s wrestlers. Overall, the Varsity grapplers ended up with an outstanding 17 and 1 season. This year for the first time, five wrestlers went to Semi-State. Regional champ Dan Mor- ena (126 lb) carried a 31-0 record to Semi-State. Also 98 Iber Mark Baer and 132 Iber David Metcalf obtained 31-1-1 and 31-1 records respectively. Junior Mike Faulker (185 lb) gave the Cavemen crowd many nailbiting matches. Yet an- other spark on Smith ' s team came from Sophomore Charlie Cornett (105 lb) who went 21-5 into regionals. At the conclusion of JV matches, Coach Lance Beehler certainly had some- thing to brag about. His team posted a 17-0 season, the best JV record ever in the history of Mf-fS wrestling. Each and every wrestler has much to be proud of as they once again have displayed their best and have shown who is number one. We are all anticipating next year as Smith has nothing to worry about — great wres- tlers are on the way. Above left: Junior grappler Todd Ashburn puts a stomach churner move on his arm.

Swim Teams Break Records The Girls ' Swim Team had a record breaking season. Mary Ruppe broke the records in the 200 free, 200 I.M. 50 free, 100 fly, 100 free, 500 free, 100 back- stroke, 100 breaststroke, and the 400 free relay along with Jennifer Wiseman, Kim Ross, and Debbie Freeland. Mary Ruppe went to the state meet where she placed 7th in the I.M. and 4th in the 100 breaststroke. The 400 free relay also made it to the state meet. The girls ' season was a big improve- ment from previous years. They had many close meets, points away from vic- tory. Mary Ruppe commented, 1 intend to work hard next year and up my stand- ings at state. The boys ' and girls ' teams were both coached by new coaches. The girls ' coach was Mary Teeter, and the boys ' coach was Bill Carpenter. Both have had pre- vious swimming experience. The Boys ' Swim Team did very well this year considering the small team size of only twelve members. They also set many new records this year. Bart Shroyer set the 200 free, 500 free, 100 breast- stroke, and the 400 free relay. Jeff Bran- denburg set the 50 free school record and was also a member of the record breaking 400 free relay team along with Mike Tee- ter and Mike Zorn. Todd Lighty sums up the season by stating, We have had a lot of fun this year in swimming. Coach Carpenter did an excellent job of varying the workouts and our events so that it was always excit- ing. Although our record wasn ' t really impressive, 1 think we swam up to our potential, and I am glad I was a part of this year ' s team.
