Golfers Par o uccess This year's golf teams, both boys and girls, had strong cap- tains to lead them to success. The boys captains were John Sosa, Javier Delgadillo and Brad Borden, the girls were led by Nathalie Naylor and Mary Jo Eh- renreich. Both teams did equally well in this season and neither one was affected harshly by the no pass-no play law. Each team member concentrated on their studies, playing skills and team spirit. Coach Henry Felix said that the most improved golfers this year were Scott Lovelady, Aaron Gemaets and Diane Smith. Practices were held on the Vis- ta Hills Golf Course every day to get as much experience possi- ble. Gemaets said, We practiced all the time, and it really helped us. Last years district and region- al champ, Sosa, was on the team again this year, and was ranked among the top 12 high school golfers in the state. Being able to play varsity when I was a freshman last year, Sosa said, was one of the highlights in my life. I know this year will be even better. Golfers were able to practice more this year than ever before, because EI Paso had a mild win- ter. This allowed the team plenty of time to play on the course due to dry conditions. 236 Golf Wg! JN?

Track Hanks track proves I promising This years boy's varsity track team was quite promising, and had a lot of new comers. I was very pleased with some of the freshmen, Robert Doug- las, Anthony Robinson, Ed Thomas and Mike Holguin. With them we should have strong fu- ture teams, said Head Coach Paul Pearson. The number of team mem- bers increased this year, making it the largest team since 1983. The team, which was in good shape before the season began, progressed more and more each day. Something that really helped us this year was the joining of the boys and girls programs. Now the athletes get more coaching in technical events which should benefit them. We have a good quality coaching staff, Pearson continued. The team practiced every day sixth period and after school. Promising team members were Victor Alston, Albert Cha- vez, Anthony Dodson, George Fernandez, Howard Prestwood, Gene Thomas, Martin Pizana, Mike Torres, Richard Herston, Mike McLain, and David Medlin. Assistant coaches were Dave McKinney and Ken Bailey. Bailey felt that since this was only his second year on the pro- gram and his first time working with the shot put and discus throwers, it was an experience he wouldn't forget. We have a total of 12 peo- ple, Bailey said. All added greatly to the program. 238 Varsity Track Bart Gaisbauer works on his high jumping technique
