The varsity team is well-balanced with great performers in several areas, however, the greatest strength lies in the area of distance events. The Knights are led by three cross country All-Americans - Jaime Orte- ga, Jeff Gilkey, and Derrick Powers. Also strong are Gerardo Puentes - third place in the CIF 1600 meter final in 1987 - and seniors Doug Jones, Tito Haes, and Albert Paredes. Rick Fuller, two time CIF champi- on in the shot put, heads a powerful group of throwers. Sherif Hunein is a potential CIF finalist in both the shot and discus, and sophomore Rod Gul- Iien is already challenging FuIIer's lower division school records. An incredibly strong trio of senior pole vaulters- Mike Deitch, Jason Mac Lelland and Jim Rodriguez- will all be over 15 feet this season. In the sprints and hurdles, Al Paggao and Raul Almanzan are potential league champions. They will be supported by junior Bob Combs and super- sophs Robert Kwan, Claude Gon- zales, Darren MacLeIIan, and Cruz AI- varado. The frosh-soph team will also be very strong and should be able to fol- low the varsity's lead to a league title. Arroyo Knights are winners! Practice makes perfect!
