Success Despite Obstacles Lack of depth hindered the efforts of the 1971 track team under first year coaches A1 Stroup and Larry Johnson. However, several individuals consistently turned in outstanding performances which enabled the Bulldog tracksters to make respectable showings in all meets and finish second in the Conference meet. Seniors Cal Coffin, Lynn Boden, and Jim Green formed the nucleus for the 1971 thinclads. Coffin continually starred in the 220 and 440, while Lynn Boden contributed points from the discus and shotput ring, and Jim Green supplied strength in the half-mile run and led various relays. Four individuals eventually qualified for the State Track Meet in Kearney. Coffin qualified in the 220, 440, and 880-relay; Green in the half-mile and 880-relay; Freshman Tom Yungdahl in the 880-relay; and Sophomore Jim Carlson in the 880-relay. Encouragement for future track squads was present through the pleasing performances of many underclassmen and the enthusiasm. 1971 O.H.S.

Bulldogs Move Forward in Wrestling In 1970-71 Osceola’s Bulldogs endured their initial full season as wrestlers. Head coach A1 Stroup’s grapplers created a new faction of interest and enthusiasm at O.H.S. Although the team’s season record was rather unimpressive, numerous individual efforts provided exciting entertainment for spectators. Impressive individual performances were consistently turned in by seniors Andrew Kresha and Bryce Anderson. Both wrestlers eventually qualified for the State Wrestling Tournament, something for which they certinaly should be commended. Fine won-lost records were compiled by junior Mike Treffer, sophomore Duane Hahn, and freshman John Girard. We all must remember that the wrestling program is still young at Osceola. The continuous improvement of the squad during the season provided encouragement for next season and those to follow.
