They graduated all but two starters from l986, with shortstop Tom Redington and outfielder Rick Lane returning. Other returning seniors included Brent Bish, second base: Fred Ashcraft, catcher, and Eric Fran- zen and Bart Goldman both out- fielders. The Aztecs began their pre-season play with a cham- pionship at the Glendora tourna- ment, defeating Glendora IS- l 2, and also with victories over Va- lencia and Cerritos High Schools respectively. At press time the junior varsity team posted a record of 4-4 and was much improved over last year. The team was led by Soph- omore Dan Mondragon and sophomore Steve Melkerson.

SWIMMERS DIEI The boys' swim team once again came under the direction of Coach Bob Gaviglio who re- turned after a four year absence from coaching. According to Gaviglio, the type of athlete that greeted him was inexperienced and semi- skilled, but had not changed in enthusiasm or commitment. Gaviglio stated, These people wanted a good aquatics program and deserved it. Our goal was long range - we simply wanted to be the best in C.I.F. I am proud of these young men for the effort they made in creating an aqua- tics comeback. The I986-I987 girls' swim team consisted of 42 members. with the bulk of the team as sophomores. The goal was to be- gin a two year push for their third and fourth league titles. With desire, motivation, friendship, and individual skill as their team's strong points they felt their greatest challenge was to see how far each girl could push herself at practice. At press time, the girls' team was expected to finish in second place in league and to send many individuals as well as two relay teams to C.l.F.
