i lltlllt .. . lr'- way junior Leila Martinez sees the ball fly by her opponent. Rallying the ball was a key in winning games for the Falcons. - ight back at you! Watching it all the 'L- - -in H., he aggressive group of girls that made up the Girls Varsity Tennis team battled their way through a tough and challenging season. Bad luck and injuries kept us from getting the fire going and we kind of sat in idle all season long explained junior Shireen Amidi. Without the experience that seniors bring to a team, the close games seemed to slip away from the Falcons. On seven dif- ferent occasions, the matches were decided by two or fewer sets, six of which were lost. A lot of times we were in situations that were new to us, and we didn't know how to handle them. I guess that comes with exper- ience, stated junior Paige Donaldson. One highlight of the year came for Leanna Stephen and Leila Martinez when they entered prelims as a doubles team. They defeated Hoover and Muir to take fifth place out of the overall eighteen teams. lt was a great way to finish off a season that hadn't been too exciting, surmised Leila Martinez. ln league play the team earned a 2-8 re- cord, after having won three of their five pre-season games. Their overall record then became 5-10. lt's really a good record con- sidering the fact that we are all going to be back next year, pointed out junior Joanna Busalacchi. The Junior Varsity team also had a rigor- ous year. Led by junior Christy Brushett, the JV team, like the Varsity, finished with a 2-8 record, but were only 3-12 overall. lt was a lot of fun even though we didn't win a whole lot. l think it will prepare us for playing Varsity, expressed Jennifer Lindstrom. by Todd Kummer JV vs. Muir vs. Hoover vs. Pasadena vs. Glendale vs. Arcadia vs. Muir vs. Hoover vs. Pasadena vs. Glendale vs. Arcadia Overall Record: 3 wins, 12 losses 14-4 5-13 8-10 6-12 3-15 16-2 5-13 8-10 1-17 6-12 TENNIS Girls Tennis V Tennis-Front: Esther Park, Wendy Meeker, Kristen Eagle, Alice Miyaki. 2nd: Christy Brushett, Ki Jung Sung, Kristina Szekrenyi, Young Choi, April Gibson. 3rd: Annabel!

... .Malsinaarautine of if . 4 Q hampions was the only word to describe the JV and Sophf Frosh cross country teams. ln every sense of the word, they continued the championship tradition at CV. The JV team, led by league champ Jeff Lipp, finished their first three league meets with perfect scores of fifteen, and their overall season with a rank of seven wins, no losses. The SophfFrosh team's achievements were just as impressive. Also claiming per- fect scores of fifteen in their first three league meets, the team won the league championship in what Gilliland called an easy fashion. Earning places two through five in league finals were John Beckman, Mark Batesole, Arbi Der Boghossian, and David lnglish. Other strong members were Art ot even close! The JV team annihilates the competition. Roger Stepp leads John Ahten, Fred Koegler, and John Oh. In most of the JV meets, CV appeared to be the only team competing. ln league finals, the team placed five of the top ten finishers. All-honors went to Fabian Kralian, Fred Koegler, Eran Rubinstein, and Shwan Kim. Keith Gilliland, head coach, used only one word to describe the JV season: awe- some.

Many of the girls showed their dedi- cation by coming back on weekends. BETWEEN THE LINES GETTING THERE sports was the team bus ride. Howev- er, from sport to sport, the ritual was different. We had to be quiet. It gave us time to think about the gamef, ex- plained junior Paul Wiley about the silent theory of the football team. Another way to prepare for the games was demonstrated by the wa- ter polo team. The ride got really loud with music and talking, but it got us psyched for the game, related senior water polo player Matt Aldrich. Paige Donaldson ponders the game. Girls Tennis
