The Thrill of Victor Challenge, excitement, thrills - all of these are reasons why people par- ticipate in athletics. log- ging, swimming, dance, and skiing were voted the most popular' sports in a poll of Highlander girls because they provide all these. The students enjoy these sports not only be- cause they are fun, but because they make you feel good both physcially and mentally. Sports help you relax, keep in shape, and enable the girls to express themselves in a little bit different way. Highlanders also enjoy these sports because the girls can meet other peo- ple while participating in the activity. Many girls in the poll stated that they like horses. Lisa Aguilar, a ju- nior, has taken quite an interest in them. She par- ticipates in many compe- titions with her horse in the hunter-jumper divi- sion. When asked why she enjoys this sport, Lisa stated, lt keeps me busy, it is very exciting, I love horses, and I make a lot of friends. She competes with Paul Newman's daughter and wife, with Charles Bronson's wife, with Farrah Fawcett, and Tatum O'Neil. Lisa has met Hal Holbrook, Andy Griffin and Ryan O'Neil at some of her competi- tions. Lisa placed eighth in the nationals at Santa Anita, fourth in the Dorothy Miller Medal Finals, and participated in the Santa Fe Nationals, the Santa Barbara Nation- als, and many other tour- naments. Lisa practices an aver- age of eighteen hours a week at the Rainbow Canyon Ranch in Azusa, with her Apaloosa, Mid- night Blue. Their hard work has rewarded them both with thirteen first place trophies, as well as many other trophies, rib- bons, and medals. Lisa's dream is to ride in the 1988 Olympics. We are proud of her accom- plishments, and wish her all the luck in the world.
