MUSCLEMEN CAPTURE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT -Bird gymnasts vaulted to an outstanding winning season with a 7-3 record for 1968. The culmination of the team's efforts came in the final three meets of the year, where the Wasson musclemen took a third place in the Amateur Athletic Union Meet, first in Dis- trict, and third in the State Tournament. Five returning lettermen gave rise to hopes of a strong 1969 team. Dick Schanberger, Dave Ross, Dennis Schirm, Jim Sullenberger and Captain Steve Hoit, who was '68's leading scorer as well as second- best all-around State gymnast and finalist in three individual events at State gave the team a hard-core of experienced gymnasts. Supporting team members Dave Hatcher, John Bricker, Ken Norton, Terry Mea- dows, Terry Mason, Jay Zoellner and Ken Brooks promised to add needed depth to a predominantly senior team.
