WISCONSIN HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASTIC CHAMPIONSHIPS by DAN GRAHAM, Coach, Preble H.S. Wisconsin schools crowned their fourth different champion in as many years as Green Bay Preble won the State Gymnastic Meet at Menomonee Falls on March 15. The down-to-the-wire competition saw Dave Coutley take the blue ribbon in the final event, tumbling, to assure Preble the title. The Green Bay school finished with 68 points as Milwaukee Marshall was second for the second -year in a row with 56 points, a half point better than the 55V2 for Homestead . Milwaukee Boys' Tech took fourth with 41 V2 points, tollowed by defending champion Milwaukee Bay View with 38 and Milwaukee Washington with 35. The championship for Preble, coached by Dan Graham, was the first for the school which was third last year and runner-up two years ago. The meet's leading scorer was Pat O'Brien from Homestead, who won the floor exercise in addition to his first in the horizontal bar while also taking fourth in the all-around. That gave the meet's only double winner 27 points. Preble's Steve Graham was next with 25, including a second and two thirds, while Marshall's Don Jenness had a second and a sixth to go along with his all-around first to finish with 24V2 points. The other individual winners were Steve Price of Marshall in the parallel bars, Bruce Bugalski of Bay View in side horse, Dave Stangel of Waukesha in still rings and Gary Beaumier of Preble in long horse.

NEBRASKA HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASTIC CHAMPIONSHIPS March 7,8, 1969 Lincoln High School by THOMAS SITZMAN, North H.S., Omaha Twenty-three schools qualified boys in the district meets held the week before. Lincoln Southeast was the team champion, scoring 1 21 .0 to runner-up Lincoln High 's 67.5. The AA was won by sophomore Gene Mackie of Omaha Creighton Prep, followed by two seniors from the state champion Southeast team. An important change was agreed upon for the 1969-70 season. Gymnastics will move from a winter sport to a fall sport. The coaches hope to gain several ends through this move, the gymnasiums are freer, and workouts may proceed without interference from basketball practices. It allows the boy who is a swimmer or wrestler and who is too small for football a chance to work another sport. The wrestling mots will be available for floor exercise. AA: (Note, there is no LH in Nebraska AA) Gene Mackie (CP) 30.60, Happy Botten (Se) 30.25, Alex Gerard (Se) 29.70.
