Young Team Excels In CIF Championships The exceptionally young girl ' s cross country team kept up a strong tradition of excellence on route to another good season which was highlighted by a seventh place finish in the CIF cham- pionships. Andrea Kirkhorn, Kim Deve- tis, Karen Ringer, and Denise Lowe led the second place Sunset League team. The team did well in tournament play with first place finishes in both the Cor- ona del Mar and Mount Sac Invitation- als. They also took third place honors at the Las Vegas Invitational and at the Orange County championships. One of (he teams most promising runners, Leslie Pratt, was hampered by a pre- season injury and never reached top form during the season. The Junior Varsity team had an even more successful season than the varsi- ty squad. Led by the fine running of Peggy Thomas, Evelyn Cappello, Christy Wittman, Julie Kasler, and Becky Curry, the J.V. ' s had strong fin- ishes in both the Corona del Mar and Costa Mesa invitationals, and finished first in the Sunset League with a 5-0 record.
