Call it curiosity or call it boredom, I don't know. A guy on one of the amateur wrestling facebook pages I follow was bragging about how great his school was at sports during his time in high school. It made me wonder how good Sigourney was over all in sports during my time in high school.
You'd think I'd already know, but I was very much in my own world back in those days. (Not that anything has changed.) Football was God at my school so I do remember we were always good at that, and I remember that the girl's softball team was pretty good too. Sigourney at that time was definitely NOT a basketball school. You'd think I'd remember how we did as a wrestling team, but other than senior year, I don't know!
So I grabbed a yearbook. Here is Sigourney Sports my Freshman through Senior year.

Boy's Track = No information
Girl's Track = Amy Dobbins was a District champion and State Qualifier in some event. Not sure what. Year book doesn't say, but I swear Kristine Ballensky did something of significance too. Conference champion or something.
Softball = No information
Baseball = 13-11 record
Boy's and Girl's Golf = No information
So make of it what you will. I'd say overall Sigourney's sports during that time were football and softball. That's where we had the most success. Wrestling and baseball were solid, and competitive in the conference. Track, both boys and girls had some highlights.
