Three Vik Wrestlers Make State The Viking wrestling'team, numbering only 23 members, put together a 10-10 record to show what dedication and lots of work can accomplish. Under the watchful eyes of head coach jim Hadden and assistant jim Bettin, the Viking team showed what they could do, in what proved to be one of the toughest years in Valley wrestling. The Viks appeared to be strong challengers for the district crown early in the year, but injuries to key wrestlers knocked the Vikings out of contention. For the first time since 1969 the Vikings produced a district champ in senior Kim Landis, at 141 pounds. Kim easily won thc title after drop- ping down from 148 pounds. The loss of senior Wes Hughes, at 141 pounds, with an elbow injury hurt North's team chances. Placing sec- ond at district and also qualifying for the state toumament were jerry Harp at 157 pounds and Mike Manley in the heavy weight division. Mike placed sixth at State and became the first North Salem wrestler to place since 1969. North's only other district placer was Marlon Thomp- son, also in heavy weight division. North lost their head coach jim Hadden after the season ended when hc announced his decision to go into school administration. North combined their 23 wrestlers for the strongest team they could fo. each match. Almost every wrestler wrestled on Varsity during the year. Wfhenever there was a second man in a weight class they would wrestle the opponent's junior Varsity. . 'J D161 4 YL? af as-'11 I
