BETWEEN THE LINES YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT How should an athlete eat before athletic competition? Many school competitors struggled and experimented with this question. Through various tries, most found that a nutritional regimen that contained only subtle changes best suited their performance. Senior runner Catherine Edwards commented, I don't change many of my eating patterns, especially right before competition. lt's just a stress that my body doesn't need. Although some athletes did not pay much attention to their eating habits, many were very conscious of what they filled their stomachs with. Senior Tom Higginbotham said, During football's . .1 STX X. F' is . hell week, I ate a lot of bananas for potassium to prevent muscle cramps. Senior water polo player Travis Neale commented, 'fl became a vegetarian before league finals because meat stays in your stomach much longer than faster ATP-producing fruits and vegetablesf' Because high school athletes usually did not have personal trainers and nutritionists, they were left to select their own forms of nutrition. Whichever mode of eating they chose: a candy bar at lunch the day of competition, or organized a long-term nutritional plan, they learned to compete at both prepared and unprepared levels, and discovered what worked for them. Satisfied with her nutritious snack, swimmer Stacey Teramae displays her protein bar. SophfFrosh Track

PROV THE Y'RE A he SophfFrosh Track team proved they had what it takes to compete. ln an especially tough league with schools like John Muir and Pasadena, CV pulled together to demonstrate their determination. We have some good prospects, commented Coach Keith Gilliland, They're young kids, but after they learn techniques and how to compete, they should be great. Coach Tony Zarillo added, 'lThe key word is improving. Because our focus is on individuals, we sometimes take the best sophomores and move them up to varsity if they are of that caliber. Unfortunately, this sometimes leaves the SophfFrosh team barren. However, this year, we have a lot of potential.

00 BASE ALLT ww 1 ost teams only dreamed of tne talent that the Varsity Baseball team had. Their strength and well- rounded ability assured them of a great season. Their main source of talent sprung from the pitcher's mound. Returning all-league senior Trey Pogue led the barrage of fastballs, with transfer student senior Dominic Gonzales, also an all-league selection, splitting the starting rotation. We've got the best pitching staff in league. lt should be the deciding factor, commented Coach Randy Siebert about his men on the mound. lf the team was ever in need of relief, it looked to the bullpen for sophomore Shane Cowsill or senior Sean Mercer. Both were returning from last year's team. Behind the mound stood a tough defense. Cowsill started at first base, with junior Scott Gleason and senior Louis Dominguez at second and shortstop, respectively. Gonzales and junior Dan Sanchez handled the hot corner. Covering the shots to the outfield were junior Dave Bayles in right, junior Victor Ramirez in center, and senior Erik Anderson in left. Hyok Chang and Derek Podrebarac called the pitches from behind the plate. Both were juniors and expected to be back next year. At the designated hitter spot was senior David Nelson. His power was relied upon throughout the season. Juniors Mike Starkey, a designated hitter, and Chris Barnard also added to the effort this year. Junior Scott Gleason had one idea about the season, We've got so much talent this year we don't know what to do with it all, besides maybe win league. by Todd Kummer Varsity Baseball l l arsity Baseball: Front: Dan Sanchez, Louis Dominguez, Chris Barnard, Mike Starkey, Victor Ramirez. 2nd: Derek Podrebarac, Hyok Chang, Trey Pogue, Scott Gleason, David Nelson, Sean Mercer. 3rd: Coach Vasquez, Erik Anderson, Dominic Gonzales, Shane Cowsill, David Bayles, Eric Shmidt, Coach Siebert. ean as can be . . .
