Although Proccacio admitted that win- was extremely satisfying, there were factors of equal importance. Living to our goals and setting new sights was very important, commented Proccacio, The team ran one hundred percentfi - Paula Calderon -- 0 A rainy pre-season put a damper on the Boys Frosh!Soph track last year. But with the early spring this year, the trackteam got off to a normal season with normal practices. Ninety runners came out for track, with an even 45-45 sex division. The Frosh!Soph team ended with a record of 4-2 last year. With good sprinters and distance runners, we should improve our record this year, mentioned Head Coach Marty Proccacio. Members Sheldon Piumarta and David Gaskell, brought, from a successful Cross Country season, strong sprinting tech- niques. Many distance mnners came from cross Country. Freshman Gerard Hernan- dez made a great performance in Cross Country, coming in 9th in the nation for the two-mile race. This year, the team was a different make- up. Last year, we had good jumpers, this year we are strong in the throwing events, sprints and the distance runs, stated Proc- cacio. The team expected tough competi- tion from Westmont, Los Gatos, and Leigh. - Kirsten Kaercher - Sean Stevenson takes his stance for the mile relay.

Girls track vies for top In WVAL track meets Remember that line 'Nitty runs high on school pride boldly emblazoned on Jog- a-thon T-shirts last year? Shirts and sweatshirts that turned up for track prac- tice daily carried the same message. The turnout for girls track was oustand- ing this year. About eighty people in the men's and womens divisions attended the seasons first practice in February A month later, after other sports seasons had ended, more athletes signed up. bringing the total to ninety. During the first week, members chose one ofthe three groups: distance. sprint- ing, or weights. lf some were still unsure about where they fit in, coach Marty Pro- caccio and assistant coaches conducted short tests to determine where individual abilities lay. This system worked well in putting people where they could help the team, felt Procaccio. The type of coaching techniques used depended on the group. Distance people work on stamina, while the sprinters tend to aim for speed. Workouts are varied to combat the tedium that can result from continuous running. The weight group concentrates on shot put and discus throwing postures. My style was to work hard and to disci- pline ourselves, Procaccio asserted. Last year, the girls tinished third in a league of seven: Del Mar came in first Of the thirty or so team members last year, only two were seniors. The large number of returns this year added to the teams experience and enthusiasm. Notable vet- eran runners were Kim Kistler, Deirdre Kelly, and Tori Weisberg. Procaccio was confident about the teams strength as a whole. No weaknes- ses came readily to mind. Other league teams expected to be challenged were Los Gatos and Leigh. i'We're going to have extremely good competition in meets, said Procaccio.
