Gyrnnasts take 3rd in Empire League Where other sports did not feel the tougher competition of the Empire League after the Aztecs moved from the Orange League, it was felt by the gymnastics team. After taking a third in Empire League Varsity Gymnastics Coach Shirley Pietrok said, HI think they did well considering it was a harder league. This new league brought such teams as Cypress and Los Alamitos to compete against the Aztecs. According to Pietrok, Los Alami- tos, who defeated the JV team and tied at the varsity level was their toughest competition. Noted as being the most outstanding overall gymnast was junior Camie Eggert. Kim Furlong excelled on the uneven parallel bars and Susan Keith excelled on the balance beam. I think we did very well considering we were in a harder league and we had lost quite a few seniors, said Keith, The loss of several senior gymnasts obviously hurt the squad. HI think we could have done better if some of the seniors hadn't thought about not having gymnastics next year, said Furlong. The possibility of eliminating the gymnastics program for the I982-83 school year was discussed due to budget cut backs. I. Varsity Gymnastics, Santos, K. Harrelsen, P. Brushwyler, S. Keith, L.
