The Point of Stevens Point

Stevens Point, Wisconsin, population 26,000, is in central Wisconsin, nowhere near Lake Michigan. The Wisconsin River runs through it, but I can't find a "point" anywhere.

Oh, there it is.  SPASH, Stevens Point Area High School, full of swimmers of prodigious ability.

So many that I had to split up the photos.

















Plus wrestlers, bodybuilders, and miscellaneous athletes.













Famous former residents include Joel Hodgson (Mystery Science Theater 3000), Kathy Kinney (The Drew Carey Show), and professional wrestler Ben Provisor.

I like the biceps and bulge, but not the tats and tongue.

Stevens Point is also the home of a branch of the University of Wisconsin, which has its own coterie of swimmers of prodigious capacity.













And wrestlers, bodybuilders, bikers, and bodybuilding wrestlers who compete in bikeathons.















This is a junior high boy, and probably not an athlete, but I couldn't resist the photo.  Pink button-down shirt, striped tie, pink carrying case at his feet. I'm guessing that he'll spend his teen years looking for the point of Stevens Point.
