Wingfield takes 21st in state Consisting of two seniors and one junior, the varsity bowling team rolled its way to a 5-5 conference record and an overall of 5-6. The team, practicing two hours a day Monday through Thursday, was young and had a difficult time working together. The freshman-sophomore team finished second in the conference which should have helped the varsity team that was having a lackluster year, said Coach Mike Bortel. The varsity finally achieved near perfection with the last match of the season. Placing third at districts, the team did not advance to TR I447 l595 l525 56 l507 l442 i606 I454 E596 i598 L563 Bowling Opponent Reavis Eisenhower Richards Thomwood Shepard Reavis Eisenhower Richards Thomwood Shepard Thornton 4 2 l750 1507 5 7 56 i557 l655 42 I455 i565 1579 5 wms 6 losses Invltatlonals Eisenhower 7th of I6 Dlxon l5th of 25 l l l l I l l l ' l I Rock lsland 7th of I6 Thomridge 2lst of 52 A state, but Lucy Wingfield rolled a l099 to qualify as an individual. After sec- tionals and on our way to Peoria I didn't realize my accomplishment, said Wingfield. I felt good about qualifying and thought I was ready, but the competition was tough. Sometimes I let myself get upset and bowl bad, but I did my best, and I was hap- py to be 2lst in the state. All conference selections were Michele Lawrence, who was 9th with an aver- age of l59.4 and Karen Karczewski llth with a l58.4. The frosh-soph team end- ed its season with an 8-2 conference record.

itadg' N 1-'7-- - i. S Winning Season of 8-6-I posted The wrestling team end- ed its season with a record of 8-6-1. The best part of the season was finishing with a winning record be- cause of the tough sched- ule we had, said Coach Al Gandolfi. At Conference Lou Debs 41269 took first, Mike Bana- siak C1521 second, and Joe Farneti 11583 second. l could really depend on the weights between l26-l55g they coul almost always get us a lot of team points, said Coach Ciandolfi. Those taking third were Mike Stringer C1553 and Corey Bowen 11051. Advancing to Sectionals were Bowen, Debs, String- er, and Tracy Vanhook 0859. Advancing to Region- als were Bowen and String- er, who lost their first match and Debs, one of the top wrestlers on the team, won his first match but lost his second. 'tThe reason l was one of the top wrestlers was l worked so hard. l was very glad that l won in the first round, but l wished some of the other very good wres- tlers would have made it also, stated Debs, senior. The team started off to a slow start, but they started to win after they worked hard at practice. i'One of the highlights of the season was when we were able to beat Thornton, stated Far- neti. The sophomores ended their season with a record of 8-4-1 and the freshmen ended with 7-4-1. '5 - vw fa 552 wa rf Top: Joe Farneti was a necessity for the team, even though he was an injured player.
