Endless hours of demanding prac- tice. All this means one thing to a wrestler - sacrifice. Sacrificing their bodies and time in order to accomplish one shared goal - to qualify for state competition. But hard work, dedication, and self-discipline were just a few of the qualities that were required of a good wrestler. These qualities were not only advocated by Head Coach Eric Jobgen, but shown in Jeff Hester and Bryan Noble, the two state qualifiers from North, but in the Four Muskateers as well. At first I was in a daze because I thought it would be more than it was, commented Bryan Noble about his championship in the districts. Net' fi N, The Four Muskateers, which included Terry Huff, Bryan Noble, Mark Schlichting, and Curt Schreiber were the weight of the team partly because they were so strong and experienced. All Four Muskateers wrestled at Central last year, so defeating the Blue Devils during the season was a definite highlight for all of them. Competing against previous teammates sounds difficult, but according to Terry Huff, 'gl liked it. It was a chance for revenge and to prove myself in front of old coaches. As well as the varsity team, the junior varsity and sophomore wrestlers made their mark in history as North's first wrestling team by contributing all of their time and energy to make this year a memorable one.

K- BOYS' Different Strokes Personal accomplishments and team satisfaction were two major factors that encouraged the boys, swim team to keep their competitive spirit going throughout their long season. The disadvantages of not having a home pool and the small number of swimmers made it hard for the team to unite as one until the end of the season. Coach Larry Swanson explained, It took a while to get them to know and trust each other, to work with each other and to have funf' All their long hours of practice at both the Central and West pools were endured in order to accomplish one thing - improved timings. As the swimmers mentally thought about each of their performances, they motivated one another by pushing each other to do his best, along with the help of Coach Swanson's constant motivation. Playing against their former teammates brought back memories for some of the swimmers. Rodney Vance explained, I had ambition to beat Central and to prove to them that our team and our school is as good as they are? The peak of the season came during the district meet since it was the state- qualifying meet. Coach Swanson replied, We were really only concerned about swimming our best times. The future looked optimistic for North's swimming program. As the years go by we'll get better because of our young team and our good coach, stated Damon Testa. Coach Swanson concluded, This season left me with anticipation for next year.
