Lack of experience contributes to few gymnastic wins Relying on youth, the 1983 Boys Gymnastics Team took a preseason pick of last and turned it into a seventh place state finish. We took what we had and went with it, said Coach Robert Marley, The lack of experience and the gymnasts not being either mentally or physically prepared was a big disappointment, but once they got themselves together, we started on a roll. Freshman joe Peetoom received all- state honorable mention in all-around floor exercises and parallel bars. Another freshman, jeff Nicholas, set a freshman record in the vault, breaking his previous record for the third time in a row. Other all-state honorable mention award winners were Seniors Todd Ter- williger, floor and all-around, and Glen Henry, all-around. junior David Atkins and Sophomore Steve Huffman were selected to the all-state academic team with a 5.85 grade point average. Marley felt the team's strengths were the floor exercises and the vault, while the weakness was the high bar. The high bar is the most dangerous and the hardest to learn, replied Marley. Northwest's pick for last started out with 49.8 points and ended up 86.15 points. They surprised the opponets and and finished the year with a third place finish in the City League. -Derik Dukes GIRLS' GYMNASTICS Led by All-Around Alicia Buckley, the Northwest girls' team finished the season with a respectable standing of fifth place in both the City League and Regional competition. The team compil- ed a season record of 2-8. North captured the City title with a perfect season followed by Kapaun, Southeast, Carroll, Northwest and South. Coach Candy Cheney said that the team's strongest event was the vault. Team weaknesses were attributed to a lack of dance skills and previous gym- nastics experience. The Lady Grizzly gymnasts continued to hold up the Northwest sporting reputation with their good attitude and constant desire to learn and improve. -Cheri Nerhercot , , t.,, ', five, , . .g,'l!,fTIi.-. tt U, , ,
