Since then, placed in the top three Now they have the Varsity Arena, a beautiful building refurbished with the finest equipment and a nifty scoreboard. It's even adorned with ads from Coca-Cola and Chrys- ler, a sure sign that the team is in tune with the future. The Wolverines have nine first-year gym- nasts and three sophomores. They only have four out-going seniors. Four of the first-year gymnasts, led by Geiger, have already had one fine season and, with three years of expe- rience, should be phenomenal by the time they're seniors. Sixth place isn't to be overjoyed about. But it's not something to be torn apart by, either. Illinois owned that tournament Friday night, and they had seven medal-winners Saturday. Minnesota has been on top for years, but they're falling. Michigan State had a fine performance and deserved their second- place finish. Maybe Michigan should have come in fourth. If they wouldn't have choked on the balance beam, they would have. But what's the difference? We're seeing a team on it's way up in the standings and in three years, maybe two, when they'll be competing for the gold medal, who's going to care whether they came in fourth or sixth place three years ago? 4 1.
