Get set! Go . . . These tew words were synonymous with nervousness for many participants on the track team. Junior Signe Han- cock said, I ' m usually pretty calm when I warm up, but I get a little nervous when I ' m lining up for the race. Even though some of the members felt a little nervous tension at the beginning of each race, that couldn ' t stop either the girls ' or the boys ' teams trom naving a terrific season. Both the boys ' and girls ' teams kicked off the season with first place over 38 oppos- ing teams in the Del Campo meet in Sacramento. Senior Mickey Quilici said, The boys and girls both have really good chances at winning zone and maybe state. Our only competi- tion comes from Reed and Reno, and we crushed both of the teams at Del Campo. The victory at Del Campo was the spark that ignited the vic- torious season both teams felt in front of them. Senior Terry Trease said, The victory in Sacramento gave us a lot of en- couragement and set the mood for the rest of the meets. We really had a positive attitude after that. Some of the outstanding members of the girls ' team were senior sprinter Shannon Shaughnessy, and senior distance runner Cindy Rockwood. The boys ' team had an incredibly quick 400 relay team made up of Seniors Frank Granier, Terry Trease, Byron McClellan and )im Reid. The team traveled to several meets in the Sacramento area and one meet at the Brigham Young University in Utah. Senior Wendy Cronenberger said, It ' s fun going to the meets with so many of my friends, and every one of us supports each other during the meets. At a Fallon Invitational Shannon shaughnessy, Andrea Kalleres, Sydney Dull, and Renee Howard prepare lo run the 4x100 relay. In the 800 relay, Terry Trease hands the baton ott to lohn Kinsey. Byron McClellan gets set lo run the open 400.

s tealin it with Senator style He ' s going back, back. He ' s at the warning track; it ' s deep. Its outa here. This year the batters tor the varsity baseball squad heard the announcer scream those words several times. While our boys were busy rapping the ball all over the field, opposing batters were having a tough time facing our top notch pitching staff. Senior shortstop Rick Stalcup said, We ' ve got the best pitch- ing staff in the league with seniors Steve Pruneau, Donovan Osborne and Tim Davies as the starting pitchers and good support from relievers Dave Duke, Pat McCruder, Der- rik Sharkey, and Ryan Brust. The main goal for the baseball team was to win state. Senior second baseman )oel Willhalm said, We are returning 8 of 9 starters this year so we not only have the experience, but we also have the talent to take state. Most of the competition for the boys in league play was ex- pected to come from Wooster and Reed who also had several starters returning. The highlight of the season for many of the guys was the trip to a tournament in Hawaii. Senior Rod Fox said, We played some pretty good ball in Hawaii, but that took a backseat to our surf- ing ability.
