It should be more widely introduced in grade schools, commented senior Kevin Hutchinson. It takes a great deal of discipline and determina- tion, added senior Gan Gin. Determination and discipline were accompanied by sore, tight muscles and blisters. According to Coach Mike Mazelin, Longer distances required a lot more work and endurance, but I noticed they were doing it. Hard work paid off for the Cross Country run- ners, especially top runner Steve Crabtree who earned everything he got in awards, according to Coach Mazelin. Steve was not alone in special mention. Jim Erlen- baugh also received honors for his diligence and stamina. Six other team members earned letters and four were returning letter winners. Cross Country improved the season record and increased the number of participants. Running wasn't the only sport that demanded stamina and skill. Tennis players worked up a sweat and experienced the sore muscles too. Faced with a new coach and a tough season, they put forth outstanding effort and strength. I'm proud of them and have big plans and hopes for next year, commented Coach Larry Neidlinger. With the three senior players graduating, the team planned to recruit earlier next season and gain more manpower. Both teams had fun with the seasons too. Cross Country veterans initiated newcomers by having them do sit-ups and push-ups in a muddy creek. If tradition continues, new members will have much to look forward to, rewards both in success and friendships made. LINE 'EM UP, Move 'em out . . .

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.
