n WRESTLING Captain Cameron Manuel in action This season the Keydet wrestlers turned in an exceptional performance and also show a lot of promise for the future. Ike Sherlock, in his second year as head coach, was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year and led the Keydets to an 11-2 dual meet season and placed second in the South- ern Conference Tournament. With only one second classman, a hand full of thirds and the rest all new cadets, the Keydet grapplers have put themselves in a position that demands respect. Exceptional Rat performers for the Varsity Team were Dave Barron, Jimbo Keller, Steve Evans, Glan Harmon and Jim Rice. Also, Bobby Greenwood in his first year won the South- ern Conference Tournament and qualified for the NCAA Championships in Corvallis, Oregon . With such young poten- tial, and a successful recruiting season this spring, one can expect to see and hear big results in the coming seasons for the VMI wrestlers. 2nd Year Coach Ike Sherlock Jimmy Edwards works to escape.
