The biggest change in the 1975 Cross Country team was the addition of eight girls. This was the first year that so many girls came out for the sport. It was too early to tell if girls made a difference. Workouts twice daily covered approximately seventy-five miles each week. Upper classmen felt that this year's workouts were easier and that the coach didn't push as hard. The team participated in eleven meets, including invitationals. The eight girls took first place at the west's largest CC invitational at Mt. SAC. Team members felt that captain Rick Williams did an excellent job of keeping us together, as a team and as friends. Coach Elliot had hoped for more team and individual improvement. The team took third place in Western League with a 3-2 record. Runners Tom Dove, Ed Dimalanta and Rick Williams were named Most Improved, Most Dedicated and Most Valuable respectively, at the Fall Sports Banquet. The 1976 season will be one for rebuilding. There will be three return- ing blue chip runners. Crosscountry 199

Splash! A New Record W hy would sleek young ladies paddle through the water in sneakers and sweatshirts? This was one of the training exercises which was used by Coach Ard- apple to add resistance and weight to the bodies of the girls on the swim team. When the extra weight was eliminated, the swimmers had greater endurance and power. By riding on the bus together to practice and meets, the team achieved a sense of unity. This helped boost the girls on to a good season. The Varsity team set a new city record on the medley relay. The Junior Var- sity swimmers became stronger, even though they were a smaller group of girls. They placed second in the county, which is of great significance for 1975. 200 Girls'Swimming
