Gymnasts bring honor to Monacan Where many of Monacan’s athletic teams were working toward excellence in 1981, one has clearly established on ex- cellent tradition already. The boy’s gym- nastic team combined their efforts to pro- duce one of the most impressive seasons of any team at Monacan thus far. With three returning seniors and an impressive third place finish in state competition in 1980, Coach David Thomas looked for- ward to a very rewarding season indeed. He was not disappointed. This talented group of athletes swept to the district, regional, and state championships. Great individual performances along with out- standing team depth allowed the team to bring Monacan it’s second state cham- pionship trophy in 1981. In addition to state honors, the team received national recognition, as well. They were named one of the top fifty teams in the country, an honor the cross- country was awarded in the fall. Individually the team could boast sev- eral high-flying stars.

The tradition of ex- cellence they have established at Mona- can has added prestige to an impressive athletic program. As Athletic Director, Steve Cunningham said, ‘‘Watching the boy’s gymnastic team is like watching Wide World of Sports!”’ Trying to relax. Soon all muscles will be tense, but for now these gymnasts try to relax and preserve their strength. High above the crowd.
