TAKING IT IN STRIDE This year ' s Boys ' Varsity Cross Country Team (led by Capt. Elbert Buddy Twist and Coached by W. Mocnik) placed 2nd in the Marine League. Buddy, a hard-working ath- lete, is among the top three milers in the Los Angeles area. Twist is a dedicated worker, and gives cross country his all. Also supporting the Colts in their victory, were Angelo Schmidt and Carlos Linares. The J.V. team, with standouts Jose Martinez and Michael Walker, also placed 2nd in Marine League. They lost only to San Pedro. Doing well for an inexperienced group, the Girls ' Varsity Team placed 4th in Marine League. Although this young team did not do as well as they had hoped, their Colt pride never faded. Sophomore Irma Duran was a great inspiration to her team- mates. The Sophomore Team ' s league re- cord of 2-14 gave the young Colts 4th place in the Marine League. Their wins were against Gardena and Locke High Schools. Jose Linares and Joey Sablan aided this young Colt team to victory. I Boys ' Varsity (L-R) Row 7: Coach W. Moc- nik. M. Howard, A. Schmidt, A. Baca. Ro: 2: E. Twist, C. Linares, j. Ryan, V.
