A WINNING STANCE WAS DE Wrestlers gear up to beat the The average wrestler’s day began at about 5:30 a.m. with one hour of jogging. During school, most wrestlers not only had their wrestling class but a weight training class. After school the team got together to do additional practicing. Wres- tling was a challenging sport and each member must stay within a certain weight bracket while still keeping physically fit. There were many ways they did this, some of which includ- ed sitting in a sauna or jacuzzi, dieting and even spitting. Some wrestlers needed to gain weight by either force feeding them- selves or working out in the weight room. Coach Garry Walker was very impressed with how far the team had come. The team worked hard and showed how dedication and hard work could equal suc- cess. TAKE DOWN.

As Jason Thomas put it, I just play for the fun of it.” Playing on an intramural bas- ketball team allowed the play- ers to get to know other people, both from Timpview and other local schools. Even Provo High had several teams that were YOU MEAN ME? Teotlhua Ngatuvi points proudly to his number 13. Teo is a member of the team The Letter- man. They do very well because they have an athletic team. willing to play a friendly game of basketball rather than a fierce rival competition. The games themselves were highly entertaining. Only at an intra- mural basketball game could you find a player fouled out be- cause of tripping or kicking an- other player. The nonchalant attitude of the basketball players was re fleeted in the team names. With such outrageous names as The Gynos, and The Seri- ous Juans.
