Dunno... I've really enjoyed reading your posts (and please DO continue... I'm learning so much).
I DO beg to differ on high school gymnastics though. In Prince William County, Virginia... we definitely had a women's high school gymnastics team the entire time I attended high school. That was1972 through 1976. I've still got the old yearbooks to prove it! I had a few friends on the team and I so desperately wanted to join the team as well... it was NOT to be! Never mind the fact that I couldn't walk a straight line on the balance beam. Not sure exactly when they began the team... as I said, it was already in place when I attended as a freshman in 1972!
Anyway, please do continue with your posts!
hi there, i'll clarify. there were several girls teams at that time. and not throughout entire states at the majority of high schools in that state. they could have been intramural and had no state championship meet. if your county had one it was rare. conneticut was another, but not all over, was intramural between schools and they had no state championship meet.
a teamate and i were asked by our high school coach to help him begin a girls program in 1972 my senior year. illinois did not have that 1st state meet until 1977/78. up until then it was intramural, and as the schools grew it became intramural between schools.
have i made sense?
i looked at your post again. you said 1972 and already in place when you were a freshman. did you mean already in place before you entered high school? even an intramural program at that time would be very rare.
