In their first four league meets, the team went two and two, literally crushing Kennedy and in a close meet with American High School, squeaked through with a victory. Mission had a great deal of young talent on the squad this year. Freshman Doug Yamamoto was the team's outstanding distance runner, while Kevin Meeks showed definite potential as a 400-meter runner. And finally, in field events, John Hudson provided support for the team as an ex- cellent shot putter. Overall, the i985-86 season was a promising one for the boys' junior varsity track team. 127

Third Row: Sam McVay, Dennis Hernandez, Jason Hawk, Sunil Menon, Kevin Pierce, Marty Wayne, and Steve Arkwright. SEASON SUMMARY With four meets behind them, the i986 varsity boys' track team had compiled a league record of l-3, with their one victory against Kennedy. Although not outstanding as a whole, the team carried its share of stand outs. Anthony Terrell excelled in the long, tri- ple, and high jump events, Dennis Hernan- dez led the team in long distance running, and a young Marty Wayne proved to be competitive with the more experienced Jeff West in the shotput and discus events. Tony Spellings also contributed effforts in the long and triplejumps and the 400 relay team, while Vince Munguia was another promising young distance runner. This year's young team will lose only a few seniors due to graduation and can hope to improve its placement in the M.V.A.L. standings in l987. 126 ff? an . T we ' 9 I A A ' A k lxfci A :v 'XF l. 1 .

SEASON SUMMARY Talent abounded on this year's girls varsi- ty track team. Led by Coach Steve Strangio, who had high hopes for the team, they, in fact, won their first four meets. The top distance runners were Pam Brands, Tammy Foley, Lori Hill, Kim Lawler, and Kelly Poe. Rounding out the team were top sprinters Kirsten Fuccy, Sharon and Susan Krakoski, and Jennifer Pierce. We all push each other as a team, which I think gives us our success. Supporting each other is really important, said junior Lori Hill. This attitude prevailed throughout the whole team and coaching staff and was, un- doubtedly, a contributing factor to the continuation of their winning tradition. Pam Brands concentrates hard on winning while Kelly Poe keeps up the pace. 128
