Trio Leads Pack □ With all but two of the previous year ' s runners returning, the varsity girls ran the competition ragged, capturing their second straight South Coast League crown. Then in mid -November, they placed an all-time high of seventh in the top-ranked CIF 4-A division. Colorful signposts on the road to the championship were a first at the St. Louis Invitational in Hawaii, a seventh place in the Mt. Sac sweepstakes race, and a well-earned fourth at the O.C. Championships. In Coach Buchheim ' s eyes the unity, consistency, and continual improvement ot the team overall helped them go undefeated in a dual -meet season which was to be spent tor the most part without the ' 85 Most Valuable Runner, Kelli Lewis. Lewis returned from her toot injury, however, to lead teammates Lisa Eck, Kirsten Quigley, and Maryanne Matus to a 1-2-3-4 sweep of league finals. She also set a school record of 18:58 for the formidable Mt. Sac. course at CIF finals. During the regular season, however, it was Quigley, the ' 86 Most Valuable Runner, and Eck, a senior first year runner, who took up the slack in Lewis ' absence by splitting wins in virtually all of the team ' s races throughout the year. In a season to be remembered for its vacations to Jalama Beach and Hawaii, the J.V. team equalled the outstanding showings ot the varsity team in every invitational and league meet. They were led by MVP Cassie Simmons, Lisa Leonard, and Rochelle Clark (most improved runner), who finished second, sixth, and eighth in league finals respectively. Second - ranked in Orange County, they too savored the sweet smell of success without the bitter taste of defeat. The frosting on the cake for both teams was the sweeping defeat of perennial powerhouse Mission Viejo. Coach Buchheim looks favorably toward the tuture and the possible emergence of a true dynasty because of the return of Quigley, a junior, and the sophomores who lettered this year: Matus, Kathy Kelly, Deonna Collins, and Helen Crowe, all of whom should be back for the next two years. With the addition ot Simmons, Leonard, and Clark, the team seems destined to remain well in front of the pack. 1 A they round the Ust corner in the meet against Irvine, Deonna Collins and Sheila McEveny start the spnnt to the finish.
