Rebel Gymnasts Roll To Success My philosophies and ideas about technique differed greatly from those of the previous coach Lary stated. This showed up because it took a goodshare of the season for the team to adjust to their new coach. Five of the eight gymnasts competing were sopho- mores, which added a lot of inexperience to the team. Alot of injuries on top of the inexperience made it worse. Sophomore Mark Haven, number two all-around, broke his leg just before the South Eugene meet. Senior Tim Adams, number one all-around, suffered a back strain early in the state meet which forced him to withdraw from competition. When asked how the state meet went, Tim replied saying, It didn't go at all for me. Coach Lary described the season by saying, It was a successful season which could have been more suc- cessful with a little more work. 22 0 GYMNASTICS

get Ei? xg M The outlook for next year is very good with many returning lettermen. Our best meet was at Hudson's Bay. -Coach Neil Webber The 1976-77 Rebel Runners have made a name for themselves in Cross Country. Although the team did not win a meet all season, they ran hard at all meets, doing their best at District. Gary Killgore, a junior, placed third in District competition at Bush Park in Salem. Kill- gore was voted Most Valuable by his teammates. Kerwin Koos, also a junior, placed tenth in District and was voted Most lmproved. The Senior side of the team had its share of bad luck with Brian Birky and Randy Shadley out with injuries. The fact that the team is young makes a good outlook for the 77-78 Cross Country Season. CLOCKWISE: Jim Lundberg and Joe Budde run side by side. JV CROSS COUNTRY: FRONT ROW: Rick Collins, Doug Fulton, Gary Forbis. SECOND ROW: Allan Eriksen, Greg Emerson. BACK ROW: Managers Kathi Hart and Shirley Osborne. CROSS COUNTRY e 21
