ommitment and dedication:
C that's what it took to be a good
gymnast, according to gymnastics
coach Dave Contreras.
And commitment and dedication
were worked on every day for two
hours during the fall season, which
ended December 6 with both the
boys and girls teams finishing second
in districts.
Although neither team qualified
for state, junior Larry Cahoon quali­
fied in the floor exercise, high bar,
and long horse vault, and junior Vic
Berkland qualified in the high bar.
Juniors Diane Hobza, Therese Con­
way, and Karen Coppersmith nar­
rowly missed qualifying by finishing
eighth in one or more eyents; the
top seven were eligible for state.
