This fueled the team, and gave us a taste of losing and made us want to win, said quarterback Scott Patton. The next day the team went out and hit for two hours to get out their frustrations and prove to themselves that they were winners. After getting it out of their system, We were un- beatable, said guard Shawn Boland. The team went on to win league and go undefeated the rest of the way. On the road to the top, the Cou- gars shut-out some highly competi- tive teams, beating Mission 40-0 and Irvine 54-0. But by far the highlight of the season was the victory over rival El Toro, 27-7. It was especially significant be- cause the previous season, we were 8-0 and then lost to El Toro, but this time the roles were reversed. They were 8-0 and had only been scored on twice all year, and we beat them with a great sense of revenge, said Coach Bob Picazo.

Qmqcuti Hy CIF aftm § ots of mileage plus speed and endurance all equal the training for the Varsity team, headed by Coach Tom White, who has been head coach for cross country for twenty-one years. Under the coach ' s training, the seven Varsity runners work out eleven months of the year and six days a week to get in shape for their competitions. But the toil and sweat of their training paid off as they ad- vanced all the way to CIF. Again, the Varsity cross country team finished an- other commendable season for Capo, ending with espe- cially pleasing performances by all the runners. Coach White, who focused his training more individually on the runners this year, com- ments, I ' m proud of these athletes for their outstand- ing performances this year. They ' re a great group of guys to work with. The Varsity team advanced to CIF, after placing high in the South Coast League Championships. Praising the team ' s efforts. Coach White especially commends senior Neil Stevenson for his excel- lent performance. Also, another star runner, senior Bill Gould, originally from Chicago, Illinois, cap- tured second in the SCL Championships. I didn ' t think the competition here (in California) would be as difficult as I expected, and I realized that I needed the team to qualify for the state, said Gould. t l M m 1 3 hhh ▲ A FORESHADOWING EVENT- Senior Sean Douglas chases his shadow to win the race.
