Showing they planned to dominate the league, they worked hard during practice. The season promised to be highly competi- tive, but the girls had hopes of going all the way to first in the CCS. Seven starters returned: senior Sue Linneyg juniors Lisa Tenerelli, Sara Hansellg sophomores Brandi Chastain Tiffany Cor- nelius, Kim Hackbarth, Jennifer Johnston and Sue Phillips. The team also picked up some new members, Lara Liggio, Kris Kleinheintz and Renee Badua. Kendra lre- ton graduated, but Phillips and Badua took over pitching duties. We have a good defense this season, commented Tiffany Cornelius. Renee an Susie have been practicing and have gon to pitching clinics, remarked Coach Josi Reguero. The varsity received coaching les sons from Coach Pete Petrinovich. Las year Petrinovich helped out the team an coached the JVs. This accounted for the strength displayed this season.

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. Mitty runs, sprints, and throws high on school pride. - Li Miao -- -f . x, x 1 I X-, Kristen Morgin comforts Katrina Kistler Cabovel after the two finish a rough race.
