coach in 1968 and 1969. Tennis pros Rick Martinez and Jess Johnson coached the team from 1969 to 1973 and Lynn Corbr-idge had charge of the program in 1974. Weber retained the tennis program in 1975 and 1976 largely through the financial support provided during the next few years by the Mt. Eyrie Tennis Club. Keith Cox was also hired in 1974-1975 to serve as the teams coach and has continued in that position ever since. Since the restoration of tennis to the Big Sky sport schedule, Weber has established itself as a major force, winning the title eight times, including the last six years in a row from 1983 to 1988. Cox has secured his players from Utah, the Western United States, and from abroad. The team plays fall and spring schedules against other league schools, in-state rivals, and competitive opponents from throughout the Far West. Beginning particularly in 1978-1979, Webers tennis teams have dominated the league not only through individual champions but depth at all positions. Many individuals have distinguished themselves by outstanding play. Andrew Veasey is the only Big Sky player to win four straight individual league titles. He did so as the number five singles in 1985, 1986,1987, and at the number three singles in 1988. Two Wildcats have won back-to-back titles at the same singles position, Barry Nissenbaum at number one singles in 1982 and 1983, and Jonas Ehrlin at number one in 1986 and 1987. Because of the stiff team competition in District VII, Webers entire tennis team has never been invited to participate in the NCAA Tennis Tournament as a group but four individuals have entered individually, Peter Markes, Barry Nissenbaum, Eric Styrmoe and JonasEhrlin who played in both 1985 and 1986. Keith Cox has been chosen the conferences Coach of the Year for mens tennis for the last six years as a result of his teams league victories. Few teams have dominated a league sport as thoroughly as Webers mens golf team controlled the Big Sky golf program. Webers golf team was officially organized during the 1965-1966 season. MacMadsen has been the coach of the program ever since. During Webers first four years of play, the Wildcats finished fifth twice and third twice. Weber then won five straight golf titles before the program, like tennis, was dropped as a conference sport after the 1974 season. Community financial support also kept this program alive for two years until the Big Sky re-instated it in 1977. Weber won seven more titles in a row before Nevada-Reno upset them in 1984 and the Wildcats finished third. Weber won an additional title in 1985 and placed second by six strokes to Reno in the last Big Sky golf championship. Weber therefore won thirteen of the eighteen golf championships offered by the league. Ten Weber golfers won medalist honors in these conference tournaments. Webers entire team has been invited to participate in the exclusive NCAA Tournament on eight occasions because of its successful conference and District VII play. Although it has generally failed to make the final cut of fifteen teams, it did so in 1978 and tied for fifteenth in the tourney. Mike Gove tied for fourth place in individual play and acquired Ail-American status in the same tournament. Gove is also one of six Weber State golfers who have been invited to participate in the NCAA Tournament as individuals during years when the entire team has not been invited to play. These players include Brad Massingill in 1970, Mike Malaska 1975, Gove 1977, Mats Jonsmarker 1985, Carito Villaroman 1986 and 1987, and Miguel Tola 1988. Villaroman placed third in the 1986 tournament and has also won the Junior World Championship two times. In addition, Madsen was selected as the conferences Coach of the Year for golf on the thirteen occasions when his teams won the league title. Webers wrestling program survived the longest of those sports which have since been discontinued. Weber entered every Big Sky wrestling tournament from 1962-1963 to 1986-1987. It was not, however, until 1967 that Weber recorded its first champion, heavyweight Jim Mott. Webers program continued to develop so that throughout the 1970s it generally placed second or third in the conference meet. Webers points tended to come from a strong showing by the entire team rather than from an over-abundance of individual champions. The Wildcats, however, became consistent contenders for the league crown during the last decade finishing third three times, second on four occasions and winning the conference championship in 1981 and 1983- In the former year Ed Dilbeck, Doug Bydendorp, Russ Campbell, and Dave Lundskog all won their weight titles. Lundskog, Marty Bench, and Gary Tiny Scriven won titles in 1983 to support their championship team. Dave Lundskog distinguished himself in this sport by winning four Big Sky Championships in 1981, 1983, 1984, and 1985. Mike Isom won three championships in 1975, 1976, and 1977. Three wrestlers gained All-American status by placing eighth in their weight divisions of the annual NCAA Tournament: Scriven in 1983, Lundskog in 1984, and Ryan Western in 1985. Webers wrestling coaches include Bud Belnap 1962-1963 to 1964-1965, Tom Low 1965-1966, Ralph Hunter 1967-1968 to 1971-1972, Chick Hislop 1972-1973 to 1977-1978, John Webb 1978-1979 to 1986-1987, and Jody Warren 1987-1988. Webb was named the conferences Coach of the Year in 1981 and 1983. The sport was dropped by the conference after the 1986-1987 season because many conference members had already ceased to compete in it or planned to do so. Weber maintained its program for a year but at the end of the 1987-1988 season dropped the sport as well. Weber carried over its baseball program in 1962-1963 from the junior college era. The Wildcats won the Big Sky conference on three occasions as they were coached by Dick Williams until the end of the 1968 season and by Blaine Sylvester who coached the team until it was dropped at the end of the 1974 season. In 1968 Weber won the conference with a 7-3 record and 25-12 overall. At the end of the regular season Weber entered District VII regional play in Colorado. They dropped their first game 4-3 to Colorado State College but survived in double elimination play by beating Denver University 7-5 and Colorado State 21-15. By beating Denver again 4-1, Weber won the region and then met BYU for the District VII championship. The Cougars, however, dispatched the Wildcats 17-7 and 6-5 to end Webers season. Weber won the conference twice more under Sylvester. In 1970 the Wildcats sailed through the conference with a 10-1 record but lost to Denver University 1-0 and 13-4 in District VII NCAA post-season play. In
