"Because it's a way to
express oneself maybe that's
why more and more girls are
beginning to turn out for gym
nastics," sophomore gymnast

Mis Knudson, who is
competing for her second
year, in floor exercises
which include a combination
of tumbling and ballet, prac
tices throughout the summer.
When asked in regard
to her season expectations
Kim commented "I won't
really know until after the
first meet, but I think I'll do
better than last year." The
hopeful gymnast feels that
she could improve on"every
thing." She has yet to de
cide on whether she will
pursue gymnastics in college
or later years, though she
feels there is a possibility.
"Gymnastics is a ter
rific sport and I wish more
girls would turn out," Miss
Knudson commented.

JIM DL'RBIN captured second
place at the district meet last
year. Wrestling Coach Tim
Itrown says "Jim should place
high at state this year."
Durbin has wrestled since
eighth grade. He practices two
hours a day. Last summer he
participated in the summer
wrestling program. He is pre
sently in the 106-pound weight
class, but plans to drop down to
the 98-pound weight class for the

classes because the wrestlers
tend to be inexperienced under
classmen. Durbin would like to improve
his agility. He would like to
wrestle in college, and hopes to
obtain a scholarship.
"He is an outstanding young
man and should place high at the
state tournament," commented

sity in giant slalom and sla

provides a challenge not of
fered by other sports.
l-ast year he raced
Nastar at Mt. Ashland. He
received a gold, a silver,
and a bronze medal for high
performances. He had a
handicap of 25.
I like Nastar because
you compete against your
self and nobody else," he
commented.
"1 think skiing is fun
because you test your skills
against the mountain and
snow."
Rob plans to pursue
skiing in college or after as
a hobby.
