T THE WALL - Sophomore |ill Hedlun lows the pdin as she hits the wall In th Gvik tah a kIwC d mh y ha jr goal this year is to see a league championship; we have the ability, but per- forming up to that level will take ev- erything we ' ve got, stated Coach Richard Victor. This is one of the best looking track and field teams Capo has ever assembled, and Coach Victor and his team are very excited about seeing how far they can go. Victor claimed that the 800 team is one of the best in the state, and the long and triple |ump teams are as good as they i et. He also said that he has two lantastic hurdlers, a very, very strong relay team, and a highly competitive shotput and discus team. We ' ve got strengths in every event, Coach Victor said, and if the girls compete up to their level, we ' ll be great. Seemingly the team is top-notch in every category: sprints, distance, relays, jumping, hurdles, and weight events. Coach Victor backed this up, adding, We really don ' t have a weak spot, and we are looking forward to not getting one. Among the team members ex- pected to help contribute to the predicted league championship are: Laurinda Mulhaupt, Ginger Frank, Alicia Hunner, Tracy Skeen, Sharon Sparano, Gretchen Fleischli, and Sarah Toomey.

T LEAPS AND BOUNDS — Junior Julie Jame- son shows her stuff in a floor demonstration in the gym. Gymnasts had to fight for time be- tween other teams to get their workouts in. G(jMm tttlcA a tiuM, iH CowA ouf oh, lop ro some, a vault is something at the local bank worth millions. But to thirty girls at Capo, it ' s only worth a quarter - of their total competition score. After a disappointing season in 1988, the team came back to give it another shot, striving for the top this time around. Coach Debbie Cun- ningham stated, I ' m real positive toward this season. Our goal is to go to CIF and finish at least second. Mrs. Cunningham added, We ' re in the toughest league in the southern section. The four teams almost al- ways finish, in one way or another, as the top four in CIF. The league the girls compete in isn ' t the conventional South Coast League we all know. It consists of Capo, Dana Hills, San Clemente, and a stranger to these here parts, Los Alamitos. Why is Los Alamitos in our league? Why, it ' s very simple: CIF re- quires four teams to form a league, and only three South Coast teams wished to participate. Thus, Los Al took the spot. Despite a difficult league, the team is really confident, junior Michelle Bartlett said, This year ' s varsity team is much stronger than last year ' s, and I think we have the ability to over- come our toughest adversary, Los Al. With a strong, young varsity, it would seem impossible to have a great junior varsity team. That ' s not the case. Our JV is one of the stron- gest I ' ve ever coached. We ' ve got a lot of depth, and I ' m looking forward to an outstanding season, said Mrs. Cunningham. Please see supplement for results. STICS GYMNASTICS GYMNASTICS Gymnastics 197
