Tracy and Tim finished fourth in their weight classes, the highest any Osceola wrestlers had placed since 1977 when Rick Johnson placed sixth. At the end of the year, special recognition went to Tracy Day and Joe Graham who were chosen as Most Valuable Wrestlers. Other awards went to Tracy Day and Duane Tonniges, Honorary Team Captains: Paul Hennings, Pat Kresha, and Dean Runquist, Most Improved; and Tim Bachenberg; All-Hustle Award. Student Managers were Tracy Walgren and Tim Hofbauer. The statistician was Tracy Walgren and the publicity was handled by Paul Hennings. 28 SENIORS: Tracy Day, Duane Tonniges, and Paul Hennings.

The tough schedule handed the team several disappointing losses. Indirectly, however, each player had something to gain. Teamwork, effort, spirit, and fellowship thrived with sincerety and enthusiasm. Several highlights throughout the season kept the cagers’ morale at an expected level. Beating Clarks and setting a school record for the most points scored (54) and getting Joyce Gabel on the Second Team All-Conference team were two season highspots. With the graduation of just one senior, the Lady Bulldogs are anticipating a more successful season coupled with a more experienced and TALLER!? team. 27
