Russ Crowley's wrestling c a r e e
star ted when he was in the fo u ~ t h
grade. During his seventh and eighth
grade years he was undefeated, win-
ning 16 matches, all by pins. He took
first place in six different tournaments.
As a freshman he wrestled varsity,
compiling a 9-2-0 dual meet record. He
won second place in the sta te meet a t
112 pounds. In the 120-pound class dur-
ing his sophomore year, he compiled an
11-1 dual meet record. The one loss
came through a forfeit due to an injury
he sustained du ~ i n g he f irst match of
the season. He placed second in the Cas-
per Tournament, first in the Cheyenne
Tournament, and won the State Title.
Including tournament matches, his
overall hig h school record is 31 wins an d
seven losses. He won 3 of them by
pins. He will be a junior th is seaso n,
wrestling in the 120-pound class.
In addition to wrestling, Russ plays
football. His freshman year was cut
short due to a broken collarbone. Play-
ing junior varsity ball his sophon~ore
year, he was the leading tackler. This
Russ Crowley
season he played firs t st rin g middle
linebacker. He again was the leading
tackler, averaging 14 tackles per game.
His family consists of his mother and
two older brothers, Gary and Larry.
Gary is presently serving in the armed
forces in Viet Nam. Larry will be sen-
ior a t Niobrara County High School. He
also is a wrestler. He placed third in
the state during his sophomore year and
won the state title last season. During
the 1965-66 wrestling season Larry com-
piled an 18-1-1 record.
An interesting s i d e 1 g h t to Russ'
wrestling career is th at he has only been
taken down four times. This in face of
t he fa ct t ha t he wa s born a c u t e l y
pigeon-toed. He wore braces and correc-
tive shoes for many years.
With his determination and ability he
should be an excellent candidate f or the
state title his junior and senior years.
