O IVlaking Tracks This is the best cross country team we've ever had. coach lvloore proudly emphasized. The teams accomplishments were overwhelming. The junior and sophomore boys were undefeated and C.C.C. champs, and the varsity team was the first runner up. Individuals who sparked the team to victory are Nlost Outstanding Runner Shane Rarrner, who won sub- sections with a time of 'l S: O7. Other standouts are Eric Floyd, Jeff Rinheiro, Jeff Smith, Wendy Bishop, Kristie Bruk, and Karen Rotherham. A grueling sport, cross country requires extreme mental and physical discipline. A race is run over all types of courses: over hills and through sand and mud. The length of the course depends on the category of the runners. The varsity team runs a three mile course, while the freshmen and sopho- mores run for two miles. As the schools arrive at the meets, they form their own social camps. These consist of all the runners from their own schools sitting in a group with duffle bags, sweats, shoes, and jackets thrown about. The smell of lcee i-lot is in the air as the music blares and the runners prepare for their races. aft? ,,......a 'l. Dominating the sport. Shane Parmer takes another victory at Legion Park: 2.

by Dana Budd photos by David Azlin l lndefeated! l l A record of 'l 5-D this year and 'l 5-C last year says it all. Team members pulled together to make this the second undefeated season in two years. Debbie Rule, who has been the CCC singles champion for three years, along with Seth Conmy, Emily Nelson, and Tracy Ventur- ini, all had an undefeated season. Emily Nelson and Tracy Venturini were runners up in the doubles and in the sections they made it to the semi finals. The team became Section Team runner up when they beat Fairfield S-'l , and St. lVlary's of Stockton SVQ-EVQ, and then they lost to a Davis team with a final score of S-D. The 'l C young ladies have a special way of determining the top seven players. They hold matches among themselves. The top S players play singles and the other 4 players split up for doubles. These matches occur all through the season. When the season is over, most of the girls still keep their practice time in by going to clubs and or taking lessons to improve their skill. Unlike other sports, Tennis requires year round practice. Coach Nleinhardt, who has been coaching for three years, said, I am proud to have been associated with these ladies. Congratulations to all the players and to the coach for a fantastic job. Two girls were ranked in the Northern California Tournament. Debbie Flule was ranked 'l 2th in the girls 'I S and under while Seth Conmy was ranked 45th in the girls 'l S and under in Northern California. Satelite Tournaments are scheduled for all players that want to duali- fy for these Championship Tournaments. Near SDD players total in all age brackets enter these Northern California competitions. The team has been the Conference Cham- pions for the last two years. Dver the last three years the team has gone 413 and 2. W 'l. Audra going for the ball, 2. Seth in serving position: 13.
