Runners catch three titles Even the new Empire League competition, which was supposed to be much harder than Orange League competition, couldn't stop the Cross Country teams from capturing three all league titles, one second and one fourth place. I think we had an overall good season. Many people are missing the chance to get into our athletic program or anybody else's, said Coach Al Britt. Cross Country has been plagued with a low turnout of runners. We went to a training camp in Mammoth and I think that brought everybody closer together, said senior Debbie Arthur. I think this has been our best season ever, said Todd Kridle. im ,M , BUS 'Nw-B., 1. Coach Al Britt and Debbie Arthur watch the others finish the race.

Raquetmaidens take Empire League fourth aa After dominating the Orange League for six consecu- tive years, the raquetmaidens placed a disappointing fourth in the bigger, tougher Empire League, behind Katella, Cypress and Los Alamitos. The girls were playing very well, it's just that the other teams were a bit stronger, commented Varsity Tennis Coach jean Agee. Player Barb Spiro added, I think we did all right. We were in a tough league. We probably would have done better in the Orange League. The team was lead by singles player and foreign ex- change student Monica Icarte and doubles pair Christi Reese and April Meads. I.
