We were unexpectedly upset by Corona and Arlington, both by just one point. It was the team ' s worst mo- ment, remarked Coach Gaffney, It more or less put us in a hole. The mo- mentum was slowed, but fortunately not stopped as we ran to a third place Ivy League finish. However, in the C.I.F. prelims the one curse proved to be fatal once again as we finished 13th out of 36 teams, but only 12 qualified for the finals. Training is crucial for runners, and the cross country team began under the hot summer suns with runs ranging from four miles to a ten mile run around Perris Lake. We definitely ran over a few hills this year, explained Trevor Rush, but it proved to be worth it. Individual awards went to Raul Ser- ratos who finished 3rd in C.I.F. finals and earned the MVP award. Alfredo Colon was designated Most Improved. The other standouts were returning lettermen Bobby Keck and Craig Win- chester. Varsity W7 Sports

I he running process begins with stretches as Frank Martinelli and Steve Louns- bury warm up. ' Junior Alfredo Colon shows signs of entering the third mile as he stays ahead of his Hemet opponent. Most home meets this season were tri-meets which pitted our runners against larger groups at the starting line. Asa runner puts on the miles, the tension sometimes shows in the body as is the case for Bobby Keck. Number one runner.Rau Serratos shows perfect form as he comes in first. As a runner, himself. Coach Gaffney enjoys leading his teams to C.I.F. A third place finish in C.I.F. finals was an excellent close to Raul ' s season. We Want n? To Win
