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

Stott Takes Time to Coach by: Jason Haley Ken Stott marked his third year of coaching tennis on an enthusiastic note. The team will be better than last year's team, Stott said. More people came out this year with better talent. Stott could not pick an outstanding player, but said he had a large number of good players. Heading his list were Dennis Cuya, Ramon Cuya, Mike George, Hector Lara and Frank Wood. Senior Dennis Cuya summed up the team's recent performances by stating All our defeats have not been losses, but rather, they have been stepping stones to our improvement. Junior Frank Wood spoke of Stott by saying, He's more than a coach, he's an inspiration to us all to achieve excellence. Stott said of his players that, l enjoy coaching the guys who are out there. They work whether l'm out there or not. Stott also said the teams to beat were Northgate and Clayton Valley and for the first time in three years Pittsburg would have a JV team. 1.
