With such play- ers as Tim Langen Steve Bruner and Eric Larson the team expected to have a positive season. The successful season last year should provide a strong build- ing block commented junior joe Hu- guez. Teamwork is the key factor in base- a and this Varsity team drew its teamwork strength from seniors as well as juniors. When our team wins it s not because of an individual effort its because of our ability to work to- gether quoted Tim Langen. The Freshman Team relied a lot upon improvement on the players part not just the coaches. Hardwork combined with teamwork made for a successful season. ,. 5 , I I 1 I l I .. , I 1 1 , r L 1 I b il, mb Waist 2 S1684 t-'N-is i I M l N r 1 1 I I I 5 f at Roy Langsten moves into position to set up a double play at second base. 184 ' Sports

V. track season last year, stated Coach Simons. With re- turning l.V. and varsity competitors, the '87 season looked very promising. One major concern was the develop- ment of sprinters and turning unk- nowns into competitors. The city was extremely competitive this season, said Mr. Simons. An added surprise for the girls' track team was going up against our former Coach Houser, who now coaches at McClintock. Many mem- bers returned this year, which made for a successful season. These included jeff Sanuik, Mike Switzer, Samantha Thom- as, Rob Bloehm, Drew Colby, Gioia Pitts, Cory Singleton, Erin Bobo, and Steve Quintero. Overall, the 1987 track season was one of endurance, dedica- tion, and rewards, and for those who will return next year, it will be a season on which to build. ge I
