BIARRIERS ARE CLEIARED BY KIATELLIA IATHLGTES E 5 n some way we have all competed in the arena known as sports. We have all known what is called, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. It feels good to win, and it hurts very much to lose. But, from these experiences we have grown. We may not have became Good Sports as people tell us we should be, but hopefully we have become better Sports We grow up, constantly competing against and with one another, in the school room and on the playing field. Sports re- main important to our lives as we strive for that intangible called perfection, never quite reaching it but, never doubting its ex- istence. While playing we ignore things that oth- erwise might impair our vision. There is no race, religion, or social status on the playing field. There are only athletes. Nothing else matters, and that is how it should always be. Sports cross over the barriers that would otherwise hold us back from meeting other people. Katella, our very own high school, has played teams not only from Anaheim, or Orange County, but teams from other cities and counties. We have played teams from Los Angeles and Palos Verdes in bas- ketball alone. In other sports, we have played even more teams from an even more diverse area. In the summer of 1984, we watched as the world came to play in our backyard. The XXIIlrd Olympiad showed us that there were things that we had in common with people from other parts of our world. We all share the common language of sports, for one. And maybe it also showed us that our world really isn't as big as we think.

no ver the hills and through the woods about covers the scenes of cross country, but the runners of Katella aren't running to grandmother's house, but to the finish line, where many of them will re- ceive various trophies and med- als. Throughout the 1984 Cross Country season, the boy's Var- sity team fought through flu, colds, and other injuries just to make it to the CIF Prelims. Their chance to go to CIF seemed to be a long distance dream after their loss to El Dor- ado in the dual meet by only one-tenth of a point. The only chance the Knights had, was to go all out at the three mile course of Craig Park in the League Finals and beat El Dor- ado. With Coach Cochrane go- ing hysterical at the side lines and the other team members cheering them on, the boy's var- sity made it to CIF for yet an- other year. How does the boy's team look for next year? Very strong. With the top runners like David Dement and Marc Caldwell being juniors and Rob Schultz and Jerry Bratcher be- ing sophomores, the team will be a very strong and exper- ienced one. The J.V. team had a very good season, placing second in league after demolishing their competition in the league meet. The FroshfSoph team didn't fair as well. They placed eighth in league. Had they had a full team, they would have done well. The girl's team didn't do much celebrating during their season. They were seventh in league, beating Kennedy in the League meet. The girls were struggling, not only physically but also mentally, with only five members on the team. The girls were mainly running for indi- vidual goals, which, for some, came true.
