Talent and Determination Helped have . One of the most in- spiring things about the JV and Varsity teams is the atti- tude. Winning is not the only thing. They are also out there to have fun and give it their best shot. I admire all the team members. They have all gone out there to repre- sent Richland High School. Chris Car- son. the boyis gymnastics team a commendable season The Richland Boy's Gymnastics Team did not pull off a traditionally hoped for state title, but what they did accomplish was something they could be proud of. The boy's season was slowed down by injuries, but they seemed to go unnoticed as the boy's went on to claim second position at re- gionals, falling to L.D. Bell, who later became the State Champion. At State, the Richland boys placed fifth. The boy's top competitors were seniors, Darren Helm, and Randal Goodwin. Both placed in the top five for All-Around at Re- gionals. Our 1988 season had many highlights, Darren did an outstand- ing job as our leading All-Around. Boy's Varsity Gymnastics Team.

With his talent and determination, he will make a fine collegiate gym- nast. Chris Collins was a newcomer to our squad and helped out con- siderably, said Coach Terry Wil- liams. The boy's practiced at least three hours a day. Practice still paid off, State title or no state title, the boy's did their best, and they maintained the reputation of a team any school would have been proud of. Karen Laird.
