They gave it their all during a tough preseason, coming out of it with a record of 4-1. The ma|ority of this year ' s team members were sophomores. With such a young spirited group of girls there was a lot of will to compete and do well. There were twenty players on the team, ten of those girls started in matches which were held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. According to their coach, Mark Wilcox, and the rest of the team, their toughest opponents were South Hills and Covina. Even though the team had those two losses they ended the season in second place with a record of 8-2. On November 30, the J.V. team held their awards banquet at Lamp Post Pizza. This year ' s awards were Most Valuable Player which went to Debbie Wittrock and Most Improved went to Bobby Greve. Varsity tennis is definitely in the future for many of these players, especially for their Most Valuable Player Debbie Wittrock. She was brought up to play as an extra on the varsity team during CIF. Also since this team is so young and the majority of the varsity team will be graduating, many of the J.V. players will be brought up to play varsity. y. ' y zmm V y ; ' ' m mm . i i J . ' . ' .

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.
