Wrestlers pin tough season Pin 'em! Grab 'em! exclaimed Coach IVIark Steinmetz at senior Willie Hutt during a rough match with Warren. Willie's 10-4 record and fourth place in the city tourney made the coach's remarks worthwhile, as well as Willie's hard work. Senior Mike McNelis, in his first year of varsity wrestling, was the sectional and regional champ in the heavyweight class. He placed second in the semi- state meet but was defeated at the state meet. Al- though he was a reserve basketball letterman, McNelis decided to wrestle this year because he thought he would do better as a wrestler. Mike's brother, three-year varsity wrestling let- terman Tim McNelis also had a fine season with a record of 13-9-1. Placing in the city tournament were seniors Jim Bell, city champion, and Willie Hutt, fourth place winner. Bell also placed second in the Carmel and third in the Bloomington invitationals. Although the team as a whole had a 4-8 record, this didn't take away from the accomplishments of the individuals. According to the coach and some team members, wrestling is unique as a sport because an individual is lined up against another individual approximately the same size and weight. Boys of any size can com- pete successfully if they stay in shape and work hard at their technique. t. 3 Wrestling Season Wins 4 Losses 8 Scecina 47 Washington 24 41 Ripple 20 46 Washington 18 26 Ritter 31 19 Marshall 36 13 Chatard 44 12 Warren 56 17 .Arlington 45 17 Roncalli 44 14 Perry Mer. 54 28 Manual 40 26 Monrovia 27 MAT MAIDS: Bottom row: Maureen Smith, Kelly McMahon, Debbie Hitzelberger.
