T I C Sam Heinzen, a well achieved gymnast at North High School, who has done well above the average student. He has practiced gymnastics since he was seven, and scored high amongst the judges since his freshman year. When Sam began gymnastics he was coached by the late Jim Smith. He spent seven years with Jim before going to the Columbus Gymnastics Academy where he is currently training. Sam competes in all six of the men ' s Olympic events which are: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Long Horse Vault, Parallel Bars, High Bar. Dennis Mclntyre, Sam ' s present coach, has led him to compete in the State High School competition all four of his competing years. He placed first in Long Horse Vault, second on Floor Exercise, second on Parallel Bars, and placed seventh all-around his junior year. In his senior year he defended his title on Long Horse Vault, won Floor Exercise, placed second on Parallel Bars, third on High Bar, and finished seventh all-around. Through Sam ' s hard work and consistent effort he is now choosing the college he will attend. He will be able to take a little piece of North High School with him and still always know that the class of 1988 will support him. GOOD LUCK ALWAYS. GO SAMMY!!
