Small Numbers Hurt Wrestlers By: Nina Trias High numbers in members as well as high numbers in weight were quite scarce for both the Varsity and JV wrestling team. Though seven varsity veterans came back to face another grueling season of sweat, the squad managed to squeeze through many matches. Some Key wrestlers included Mike Lucero, Robert Morrison, Al Holmes, Steve Galli, and Tony Gordon. Unfortunately, injuries prevented some wrestlers from achieving their goals. Despite these injuries, Pitt wrestlers were successful in pre-season tourna- ments. JV consisted of the wrestlers who were small but mighty. These young ones contributed as much time and effort as the varsity squad, however, inexperience limited them to JV level. Coach George Galli was pleased with the enthusiasm of the individuals who worked hard and his only regret was we're coming along with no heavy weights. 1. Varsity squad 1st row: Mike Lucero, Tony Gordon, Mike Brooks, Steve Galli, Ken Kilgore, AI Holmes, Anthony Dorado, Qnd row: Hoang Phan, Robert Morrison, Richard Chacon, John Suarez, Mike Tum- baga. Q. JV squad 1st row: Andy Sinisi, James Kicker, Ed Aquivera, Mark Crespo, Art Needham, Willie Washington, Jon Kicker, Frank Cor- dova, Rey Buzon, Richard Nandke- shwar. 3. Senior, Mike Brooks puts on a great show as he dominates his opponent. Brooks, in his fourth season, is one of the strong individ- uals for the Varsity squad. I.!Liglili1'Ll.Lll: spur

Young Athletes Dominate by: Regina Harrison This year's track team was dominated by new coming athletes. There were only seven returning Iettermen to the Varsity team. Even though we are small and young, we still have a lot of potential, said head coach, Phil Webb. This year's girls team showed an outstanding improve- ment in all field and running events with only seven girls, Out of the seven girls, there were three key horses, who were the only three returnees, Regina Harrison, Yvonne Beals, and Katrina Norwood dominated the 400 yard dash. We worked hard and put in our all in everything we did. That is why we should make it to the State meet like last year, said Norwood. As for the boys, who mostly consisted of new athletes, they also showed ability in field and track events. This year's Varsity team contained a freshman, Luciano Cobiseno, who showed great technique and strength as soon as he took his first step on the track, said Assistant coach, Leonard Shaw. Billy Forrest and Bobby White also showed great strength. All in all, this year's track team was a well-rounded group that proved to themselves that they can accomplish any goals. ff , if 1 4' M45 -F gggo ,.,.., 3 3' ' 'Va 3-fig-arf '7,1w ' W WN- ly., B lf-'ff' , , , 5, if , Ab,,4,,,a.4-4-ff., WH , ' 4 A 5, 'y,Zf',w A
