We Are Champions, Queen
1980, my high school wrestling team was winning a championship meet and in the Olympic games, America was beating the Russians in hockey.
I was in a packed gym, full of cheering and yelling, so deafening. And at the same trying to listen to the hockey game, with updates trying to be announced over the cheering. What a rush of adrenaline, what a noise, and on the edge of your seat excitement!
When this song is played, I relive that night.
Miracle on Ice
Campbellsport Cougars 1980 Wrestling team.
"They have won 13 WIAA Regional and 6 WIAA Sectional championships. In 1980, Marking's team won the WIAA Class B State Championships and in 1979, his team placed 2nd. In his 24 years of coaching, 59 of Marking's wrestlers have been WIAA state qualifiers while 23 have been place winners. Nine of his wrestlers have been in the finals and 3 became champions. Campbellsport's most recognized wrestler in college was Rick Gruber, who was University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh's first 4 time All-American."
