Girl swimmers take fifth at 4A Lack of depth proved too much for the girls swimming team as the overall scoring was low. Individual times, however, improved consider- ably throughout the year making the season successful. The girls' strengths became evi- dent in the 4A Invitational in Em- poria. Laura Jackson, Janelle Fink, Jean Cheswick and Betsy Larson set a new school record in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 2:l0.5. Cheswick also took second in the 200-yard freestyle and third in the 100-yard backstroke, while Fink finished sixth in the 50-yard frees- tyle. Two other sixth place finishes were earned by Larson in the 100- yard breaststroke and the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Terri Scheidt, Kim Medina, Kathy Hittner and Jackson. Jean Cheswick paced the girls at State as she placed in three events. Cheswick placed fifth in both the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke and was on the twelfth place 400-yard medley relay team with Janell Fink, Laura Jackson and Kim Medina. Betsy Larson and J anell Fink competed at State in the 100-yard breaststroke and back- stroke, respectively, but failed to place.

Youthful wrestlers look to future Without a senior competitor on the team, the '77-'78 wrestlers ex- perienced a rebuilding season. Wrestling six freshmen on the varsi- ty squad proved too much of a handicap for the first year coach, Mr. Bill Lundy, as the team scoring was inconsistent. Individually, how- ever, many of the wrestlers had im- pressive tournaments showing much promise. Juniors Mike Anderson and Steve Tisdell proved the strength of the team with their frequent top fin- ishes. Anderson placed second in the talented Wichita North Tourna- ment and captured first in the Junc- tion City Tournament. Tisdell placed second in both the Hays and Junction City tournaments. Placing in the top four at Regionals and qualifying for State were Steve Tis- dell, Brad McKee, Mike Anderson and Todd Tisdell. McKee placed fourth at State to score the Cou- gars' total ten points. The highlight of the team scoring was a 30-27 vic- tory over the Manhattan Indians. Although the seasonal record was umimpressive, the young Cougar wrestlers gained valuable exper- ience. The number of lower class- men who competed and lettered provided depth that will prove valu- able. 1. .-i '+,,, ' .Q .X
