No Pain No Gain ltls been said that if there's no pain, there's no gain. Well, this statement holds true at track practices and meets, where certain dedicated Stangs test- ed their ability for running and sprinting. This year's team was small, and there were a lot of newcomers, approximately 751, as estimated by the coaches. Some of the top ueterans were Eddie Vaughn, Mike Blackwell, John Mendiola, and Charles Putney. These four talented competitors were key influences for the success of this year's squad. The team 's toughest competitors were Rio Ameri- cano, El Camino, and El Dorado. lt wasn't the strongest year, but it was cer- tainly productive in training future track stars. None of this would haue been pos- sible without hard work and dedication of Coach Davidson, Coach Almond, Coach Heckle and Coach Rogers. lt's been a tough season, but they haue worked hard and have done well, said Coach Heckle. 1.

Swimmers Makes Waves As the cold winter weather gave way to sunny spring days, Foothill swimmers traded in their sweaters and coats for their swimsuits. Under the experienced coaching of Daryl Lohrke and newcom- er Scott Anderson, the ambitious swim- mers prepared for an outstanding sea- son. Long hours of practice were put in by everyone in order to reach all of their goals. Many swimmers hoped to make the Sac-Joaquin Section meet in early May. Not ones to be away from the wa- ter for too long, the swimmers held a car wash in April to raise money for new team sweatshirts. Off to a good start, the swim team hoped to splash their way through a fun and successful season. 1. Swiftly cutting through the water, Stacy Johnson catches a breath. 2.
