Ilirl ennis . .. Q,. . . ,X ,sy An: k 9Ni 'fUB. This year's varsity tennis team was characterized by its youth, inexperience, and surprising competi- tiveness. Although it did not compile a winning record, it proved to be very competitive, Unfortu- nately due to the inexperience factor, the team played many close matches that it did not win. One of the many positives of the season was the large turnout of freshmen. The entire team was comprised primarily of freshmen and sophomores. The current ability level and potential that was exhibited by this young group would rate them, in my opinion, as the best during my ten years as a coach. Only time will tell. Fortunately, we did have seniors Joanne Chapa, Debbie Clark, and Vu Nguyen to help stabilize and influence the younger players. Both Debbie and Joanne are fourth-year players who have learned the work ethic , and most importantly the attitude that accompanies a winner. The contributions that all three seniors have made over the years to the program have been greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed. This season witnessed not only the tremendous physical and mental improvement of a young team, but also the development of a team unity, spirit, and commitment which will be essential for success in the future.

Cross Country climbed from the cellar to the middle of the pack in the 1984 season. A vastly improved FroshfSoph squad placed fifth in the Mt. Hamilton League Organization. While the men's and women's varsity, at times both suf- fered by injuries and incomplete squads, were able to cling onto seventh place. All MHAL runner Patrick Salomon again paced the men 's varsity by posting one of the top ten times in the league competition in the 2.85 mile Alum Rock course. Junior Juan Flores and George Hoffman also ran strong races for the Cardinals. Richard Garcia, Pete Smith and Scott Adams rounded out the varsity squad. The FroshfSoph squad was blessed with a trio of promising newcomers that led the squad to a strong finish. Cory Eng was the top pace setter and he was pushed by Mickey Gibbons and Rommel DeGuzman. Running in the Junior Varsity division: Eng, DeGuzman, and Gibbons along with Johnny Valenzuala and Mercale Wallace captured first place in the Del Mar ln vitational meet. Kai Sithipong, Ste ve Fox, Doug Vex and Phil Vu were also members of the FroshfSoph team. A courageous Johnny Azevedo dropped from the squad due to health reasons. .. 2. . .
