Freshman wrestlers gain experience during season The Freshman Wrestling Team, coached by Reed Newell, showed much enthusiasm and determina- tion as they wrestled to a 2-8 season. Outstanding team members were Ruben Ramirez, with a 9-0 record, and Bill Jeffrey, with a 7-l record. Most of our Freshman team was composed of athletes who had never had any previous wrestling experience. As Coach Frank Grundler, Head Varsi- ty Coach, said, This was a real learning experience for these young athletes. It was a wrestle-from- scratch situation. However, the kids stayed with the program, learned the technique, conditioned themselves and tried their best. l. David Seeger struggles to take his man down. 2.
