si? THREE Rookies dominate the wrestling team Wrestling, a sport that started at this school in 1975, requires first smarts, endurance, speed, and then strength. The wrestling team was taken over by freshmen and sophomores, juniors and seniors wrestling for their first year. There were 15 rookies out of 24 wrestlers this season. If they stay with it they will be great in the future, said Coach Ybarra. Many of the rookies found wrestling to be more challenging than other sports. l like it because it is an individual sport, said Eddie Temerowski. It's a real good sport, said David Keller. The JV team won about half of their meets during the season. They did fairly well, said Coach Ybarra, considering all the rookies the team had. The sport of wrestling is now coming to its peak at WHS. Jade Hancock said, I love the glory as an individual. FOUR Wrestling 85
