It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himself.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four years of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world.

Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>side front cover of the Magazine for more information.t State AA title. They not only beat their arch rival Helena High School, but also won their 53rd straight soccer match! Bruin head coach Rick Thompson responded with pride that the last time these senior girls lost a match was in 1996, but they still went on to become state champions when they defeated Bozeman High School 2 - 1. In1997 they defeated Flathead High for the state title 5 - 0. Coach Thompson exhorted,  Every one of them knows where the weightroom is and all work on BFS dot drills and plyometrics in the off-season. Virtually every girl is involved in the BFS summer lifting and running skills program. We are in better physical shape than the rest of the state because of the off-season workouts. <br>ThI5+ESW\\_HwhJb?w&y&(ģ8Gu.G.i$upm-fQ7'l<6y;7c}ʡ}yuBA+k`i/,n_-&$QD <w#/MgNxb,$RTF܀o\4\{IS1$sT,M|z.ujd_慔~څ֢Z'ݲ_L8?:Isi719$Sڹ,ic0=>JX2h~l 6\@LaJH=gmmW_R-cje>?iHyYjޛ[to" 74',r\[8Hܣ:<;jrԙa#F?g~9 mO4]}6e %VMe-$\k|S2/;sQv/M+OQ|^bu?&TQV qoyt4쬭Oj0_3j>\+.^[`|OFEnDeo2yt-~z}ՕS?.)jKl|k}o5G Y[Ԑ < Ȏ}.YWfUw^3%kĞQp`HeS^ wsu)Mϟnψ +ȽX]y QKᑋu#FeԠ>}>d;HZDz dD}Gښ_f^VּqY]LsN5<*qQJ8{_i Cy%ȅU 7O0jyz=/Rony¯eUxmGî壐ܱ<$]|̗š)P[E_Xy[//&4'cj-m%jn qOpew;9Ew$'׼dY"o!>V܁Â/aּ~Xڟa&*O0hW.Af Ro8u4*A{NPƷ~D[Mͫ6rz8j:TCw"Y۪ʓZq`"PZ׼M<ޤw.Th ?co8nNK}Z‬j.8樯jZԫ@֧3g^Oy5}=Q^2Hy~^'g[sԎT1KR|ķ:dsA"VnCpgo GVAJ)'5pH޸=>G=-+{{+IoCRu4*+UӮ\q~l֤8D_FK} _M[RCl:mH=tS[x月y[ʖ7ĭ{!WӢ. 6xoxsgTI/UCS4_eGHn/CśãEo\?1hЮ0;KwN(ݳ~?ßZW\;iϗk_Ÿ(_ghLj:?)8'Q^޲;IFmh0ʿX~웱V*XM *}8%Eʥ6[#`hdd$75j-i^r4sW|-rzz ZJS$d !bň >nN5I2 6cP>O?^sJa7MGǮl"Ԯ-ƌZЃR X/9 ÷SSvYkSj\J@fj(A}S5;hMDi'XO"jUZ$⇌$?SÑˮC$gDŽW͟64 Krj$8syZta31\'Ǚȗ].mneoHQa \t%Ґ?=fӚYܘp>[x|;igc߲^eѵxg%vok&E34`pq_Y0_;?T 2?Gmd1xRY ^0-=W?HYw$梢/WEH xoWXoZW Xb8ĆzFu%;.yKc#DG:mY@r5Bj~l  bzn/UK(L{m$dRS;?7#k ]-dI.nfK㦯b;6\#8e[}\DgoT]Ŀ
