Consequences of Weather The rain delayed practices and can- celled the first meet Despite these fac- tors, the team ' s spirit wasn ' t dam- pened. Drip, drop, rain, rain, rain. It came down, not in tor- rents, but in a steady, cold wet that kept the practices at a stand still. At the first practice, three days into the season, it was cold, really cold, and then the wind whipped up, and the drizzle stopped. Some runners were out in only shorts and a t-shirt, but the others were thankful that they had re- membered their sweats. I was cold, but we needed to have at least one practice, even if it was sprinkling a lit- tle, exclaimed Jamie North. Even missing the first meet wasn ' t devastating. Head coach. Duff Wiley com- mented, Missing the first meet against Poly really didn ' t hurt us. Actually, it helped us, because it was like we had an extra week of practice to see who could run in what event and be- sides, I think our runners were better prepared for the next meet, which was against Palm Springs. The rain didn ' t bother me, I ' d run the track no mat- ter what. I really enjoy it; it ' s my life! expressed Xavier Miranda. The weather may have had an affect on the prac- tices, but the true track members still continued to be faithful to the team. I continued to coach track, because I like to pass on the things I ' ve learned to the members, and I enjoy work- ing with them. concluded Coach Mike Oravets. by Chnstal Mozer ■ | |H - ju r WE FAcn - GUYS VAR.

tmivim FOR ExcELLEiva Individual achievement was stressed. Team success was the goal. ymmtm They ran, served, lobbed, and volleyed against the city ' s best teams. Arling- ton ' s Varsity and J.V. play- ers strove for team success as well as individual achieve- ment. On this year ' s team, there were more new play- ers than old. There were only four or five returning players this seasons so it was kind of like a rebuilding year, stated Coach Allen Smith. The team encountered many stressful situations such as fouls or missed serves. Practices usually lasted from three o ' clock to five o ' clock if the weather permitted. Practices con- sisted of drills and practice matches. Practices were a lot of work, but I enjoyed it because I knew I was helping my performance, replied David Lubensky. Most of the players on the team also took private les- sons as well. I go once a week to my lesson. Some- times we work on serves other times we work through the mechanics, commented Loren Tarmo, junior. When the rackets were put away, and the courts were empty, the team could walk away knowing they completed a rewarding sea- son. We had a lot of fun and worked really hard. We did our best no matter what the outcome, confided Lance Stockton, junior. by Christina Edivan J - ■ WITH RACKET IN HAND, Varsity Player Elliot Lee concentrates.
