In the past years, Norwalk High Schools Girls Athletics have been small but productive. Due to the great increase in school enrollment this past year, Girls Athletics en- larged greatly. The newest addition is Junior Varsity Girls Tennis. These young girls had the greatest potential, but were not quite ready for Varsity plays. To better their skills, they were placed on the Ju- nior Varsity team with great hopes for acceleration toward next year's Varsity team. Their success as a team was questionable but the im- provement of individual success was great! The team learned how to better themselves on their offen- sive plays as well as their defensive plays, and also observed and prac- ticed good sportsmanship. The 1983-84 Girls Junior Varsity Tennis team consisted of Rachel Barndt, Dena Cabrera, Charlotte Fields, Kum Lee, Judy Onofre, and Lena Ramirez. i',, :lf :fTf - QQ 1 'lil 1+ Q X df: .

W Although the outstanding Froshf Soph Cross Country team had only two returning teammates, they were able to follow in the successful tradition of their Varsity team- mates. Despite the fact that the team was young in age and especial- ly in experience, they also were able to clinch the League Cham- pionship title for the fourth time. Even though they ran only two miles to the Varsity's three, they ran just as far and practiced just as hard as Varsity did. ln doing this, the young team proved that hard work, not natural ability or exper- ience, is what makes a profitable season. This hard work paid off not only during the League meets but also during the pre-League season. They captured many medals at the Sonora and Esperanza Invitationals and also the Ist place plaque at So- nora. Their valuable accomplishments have undoubtedly set the ground- work for successful future years in the Norwalk Cross Country pro- gram. Manuel and Scott looking good with halfa mile to go.
