irst year is a success The soccer season had another first. It was the first season that MoVal field- ed a girls ' soccer team. Even though it was their first season, the girls had enough talent and enthusiasm to take third place in the Ivy League. Theresa Laskowski was the only starting senior on the team. Jennifer Landtiser was one of the best goalies in league, out of 116 shot attempts only 25 were successful. The leading scorers on the team were Michelle Kielty and Kelly Sullivan. The team consisted mostly of freshmen so next season looks to be strong. Junior La Tanya Hicks said, It was a pleasure being on the first soccer team. The highlight of the season was beat- ing the previously undefeated Hemet squad 4-2. The team played excellent defense all season which meant a trip to C.I.F. for their strong finish. La Tanya Hicks. Jennifer Landtiser and Carrie Griffing were named to the 1st team All League. Chosen for 2nd team All League was Kelly Harrison. Michele Kielty was on the Honorable Mention list. Coach Evans said, It was just a good all around season with a good all around team. The MVP award was given to Jennifer Landtiser and Jennifer Rayburn earned the MIP award. The staff wishes to give special thanks to Larry Venus of the Moreno Valley News for the use of his pictures. Varsity Sports

Coach Burns, looks over his team with great con- cern. Hoping to be a Moreno wrestler, three year old Joseph Piekert gets an early start. Ju- nior and first year wres- tler, Troy Percival goes for a take down. Two year wrestling veteran, Tom Torres sizes up his opponent. K ear-fall as wrestling begins again The Moreno Valley wrestling team made a strong return after a 3 year absence. Mr. Broncatello started the season as coach and did an excellent job getting the team ready until Coach Burns was hired. Hard practices paid off but the lack of experience showed. Wrestling takes time and experience and it was new to most of the Moreno Valley wrestlers. Tom Torres stated, 1 could have been a better wrestler if there would have been a team the last 3 years. You have to have a lot of agility, quickness, and strength to be a good wrestler. Each match lasted six min- utes unless a pin occurred. A pin oc- curred whenever one wrestler ' s shoul- der blades hit the mat and he was un- der control. Points were picked up for certain moves and if no pin occurred the wrestler with the most points won. Coach Burns said, They have a will- ingness to work with each other as a team, they always pull for each other. Some key wrestlers were Dong Kim. Erik Digby. Alan Hall. Manny Silva, and Tom Torres. Dong Kim was given the MVP award and Alex Perez was given the MIP award. Manny Silva went on to C.I.F. but lost in the first round. Varsity Sports
