Honors student can Swim Swimming mainly for fun and to keep in shape senior Trent Pettijohn has been an active member of both the swim team and the water polo team for the past four years. Pettijohn, along with senior John Ma- tusek, dispel the stereotype of the dumb jock . Pettijohn, like Matusek, is an honors student and has one of the two highest grade point averages in the school. Pettijohn, as well as being an outstanding athlete, is also an out- standing academician. In the fall Petti- john will be attending the University of California at Irvine and will partici- pate in their water polo, but not their swim program. Pettijohn, whose specialty is the breast stroke, did qualify for CIF this year, but was disqualified in the first round due to a badly sprained ankle that ham- pered his performance. Pettijohn praised new Coach Doug Kimberly saying that Kimberly is an excellent coach and that the team ap- preciated the amount of time Kimberly spent with the team. , W. 13 'ff . .fe . . f f .

JV Softball ends dismal 2-12 season Blaming their awful record on a lack of pitching ability and an inexperienced team, Coach Jean Agee also blamed the tougher Empire League competition for the dismal season. Ending the season with only two wins and twelve losses the JV Softball team did not enter Empire League playoffs. I think the one player who excelled greatly was Melanie Lubanko. She was the one we could count on to come through for us. Overall, the varsity team should have a good chance due to the returning players, said Agee. Many of the JV players will be promoted to the varsity level for the 1984 season. Both Agee and Varsity Coach Cec Ponce plan to cultivate a pitching squad, the one area where obvious work is needed on both squads. We predict to have a strong team in a couple of years due to the young players we have to work with, commented Ponce. I think I gained experience this year. I also learned a lot. I learned this is a very tough league, said junior Joanne Lozano. 1. Junior Corinne Lozano shoots in another pitch to strike out her opponent.

All swimmers qualify for CIF playoffs Every single member of the swim team qualified for the CIF playoffs, but all were disqualified in the first round. Facing harder competition and more experienced swimmers than in past years the men's swim team did little more than capture an Empire League fourth place. Several injuries also stopped the team from making a better show- ing in the CIF playoffs. Senior Trent Pettijohn was bothered by a badly sprained ankle and didn't do as well as was hoped. Coached by first year walk-on coach Doug Kimberly who replaced former swim coach Bob Gaviglio the team, according to Kimberly, did set individual goals. Even though the boys didn't place in CIF I feel that all of them reached their goals, said Kimberly. .. 'f f 4 brig? . .E ,Q I of - .
