Varsity, J.V. Tennis Demonstrate During the 86-86 tennis season the Lady Vikes proved to be strong competitors in league. They placed first to win the title of Valle Vista League Champions for the fourth year in a row. Th ey practiced three hours a day six days a week. Their practice included running, drilling, and the last half hour they would play each other using their new devel- oped skills. In pre-league play the line up was experimental to find the right combination for league. The line up Coach Kaz Kikunaga picked for this team was the key to their championship. Michelle Bodily played number one singles and took fourth place overall in League Finals. Ha Linh Le played number two singles, placing third in League Finals. After a minor setback, Justine Heinze came back to play number three singles. In doubles Tonya Herrick and Linda Stokes played number one doubles and placed first in League Finals. Janet Ikehara and Man Nakawa- tase played number two doubles and placed third in League Finals. The Vikings were the only school to come home with medals for each player they sent to League Finals. Amy Auyang, Stephanie Levis, Cici Morris, and Anna Rodriguez played challenge matches each day to determine who would play number three doubles in the next match. In the first round of C.I.F. the Vikings played John Glen High School— they were a second place school in their league. The Vikes beat them with an incredible score of 16-2. The Vikes then advanced to the second round where they played La Serna High School whom they defeated with a score of 12-6. The Vikes then advanced to the Quarter Finals of C.I.F. losing to Che- minade High School with a score of 6-12. This is the fourth year the Vikes have participated in C.I.F. play.
