JV TRACK IMPROVES DURING SEASON This year's junior varsity track team was made up of a group of hard work- ing individuals. The team, because of its small size, had trouble beating larger teams. In the first league meet they made a valiant attempt but couldn’t put forth a winning effort against the Irvine Vaqueros. Under the coaching of Larry Nitta, the team practiced from 2:00 to 5:00 every day except Thursdays, which were meet days. 1. Top row: Richard Thomson. Tim Hogan. Alexia Perumal, Randy Nicola. Tony Warn, Hana Cline. Adolfo Blanco. Front: Michael Furtado, Darrin Yeager. Tony Mitchell. Bryan McClellan. Jim Mangan, Frank Chiricosta. 2. Alexia Perumal practices before the beginning of the discus event. 3. Jim Mangan flies over the hurdles during the meet against Laguna Hills. 4.
