s trong start marks cross-country team Six wins and one loss meant a successful season for the cross country runners, who, they said, ran hard and long to achieve their goals. I felt that the season was very successful, Richard Couch, a first runner, explained. The races were very hard, hut we all had fun. The Most Valuable Runner was Dwayne Walker. Dwayne earned this, because he would never quit, Ms. Kathy Ross, the coach, explained, and we could always count on him to show up for a race. According to Ross, Walker ran very aggre.ssively against his oppo- nents, which earned him two medals a t invitational meets. One was given to him at Perris; the other was award- ed to him by Yucaipa High School. I feel great to be the Most Valu- able Runner, Walker said. Our sea- son had its ups and downs. Miguel Serratos usually placed first among Canyon Springs runners. I thought the season went great, he said. It was a terrific experience. I remember when we went to Twin Pines to run a race, Mike Col- well said. Mr. Ed Loman, the assis- tant coach, was with us, and he told Miguel that if he broke i8 minutes, he would buy Miguel a coke. Miguel broke their track record, broke his own record, and got a coke. In fact, Mr. Loman ended up buying Miguel a six-pac. Ross and Loman were very proud of their athletes. I felt the season was wonderful, Loman said. Ross, a first year coach, said, Our season went great for a first-year season. We had many strong individuals, and everybody im- proved. For my first team, I really enjoyed it. ••CT- CROSS-COUNTRY, FRONT ROW: Darren I ,tz gerald, Richard Cou h, Dw.iyne M Don.ild, BACK ROW: ( ' o.uh Ed Lom.in, Miguol Sen W.ilkcr, Co.uh Kjlhy Ross.

T ough first season for untried team Despite practicing an average of three hours per week, and though many of them had never owned a tennis racket (and most of them had never touched a tennis racket before practices began), mem- bers of the girls ' tennis team said that they remained determined to try their best. I think that the girls tried really hard, coach Laura Tucker said. After all, only four of the girls even owned tennis rackets. Because Canyon Springs had no tennis courts, the girls had to use oth- er school courts as a place to practice. I think that the team had a lot of spirit, team member Jacki Hanke said. It was a good experience for everybody who played this year, and I hope that next year there will be more girls interested in playing. The team had no tryout sessions. Students were asked if they were in- terested in playing; if so, they were welcome to become part of the team. .r . . TENNIS, FRONT ROW: Lcbcn Kcstcr. Shannon Bojorquez, Holly Reese.
