In some cases I had to fit my game plan to my opponent’s style but I was able to work on the things I wanted to and get the results that ended up in winning the gold medal,” Rider said. “The championship fight was a little rough because the person I was competing with actually got angry and punched me in the face. I knew that I was representing the United States, the Army and myself and I didn’t want to do anything to embarrass the country, the Army or myself. It was easy to maintain my composure and con- centrate on winning the gold medal,” he added. “This was my first time competing in over a year because I was recovering from a total knee replacement surgery. In my first match I felt kind of strong and I wanted to know if my leg would hold up. Right off the bat I scored two thunderous shots with my right leg. They were so good that I actually felt like I intimi- dated the guy and he didn’t want to attack me. All my matches I didn’t have to worry too much about defense because I was so strong on offense that my opponents didn’t press me. I was able to pick my opponents apart and work on my game,” Bartlett said. The event gave Bartlett and Rider the chance to see how they could fare against international competition. “It felt good to be representing our country, our service and ourselves at the event. We looked at it as a chance to get in some good international competition and we were World Class Athlete Program Tae Kwon Do athletes William Rider, right, and David Bartlett practice successful,” Bartlett said. kicks at the WCAP gym Nov. 11.

teams in the junior college ranks in the nation last year and this year’s team is supposed to be better according to Western Nebraska coaches. The Lady Mountaineers played the talented visitors tough for most of the game before finally running out of gas late in the second half. The Lady Mountaineers played out Stephanie Timmons’, Lady Mountaineers head coach, plan to near perfection in the first half and only trailed the visitors by seven points at intermission. The Lady Mountaineers were still in the game with about seven minutes left before the visitors from Nebraska made a run that put the game away. Timmons said she was pleased with the effort and showing of her team and she sees good things ahead for Lady Mountaineer basketball. “I thought the effort was good and hopefully when we play again we can put all the pieces together. This game told me I have the right players, we gave a good effort and all we need to do is jell as a team. I thought we matched them until late in the game. The next time we play them (Dec. 3) we should be in a position to take them out in their house,” Timmons said. The Directorate of Morale, Welfare and Recreation Sports Office will conduct a meeting Tuesday for any unit interested in fielding a team in this year’s intramural league.
