The -- Varsity team did well in strengthened the team's abilities. Bill Santos said, i'Being around so many talented people makes you want to work a lot harder. Coaches Schaitel and Embrey played vital roles in making sure that all of the hard work paid off. They brought out the best in each runner while maintaining a friendly relation- ship. By doing so, both had gone over and beyond the ordinary coaching duties. Travis Higgins felt, Coach Schaitel knows what we feel and think.

Cross Countr J .V. Runs Undaunted by Jon Jaro Often times, participating at the Junior Varsity level means being overshadowed by the Varsity team. However, this was not the case with this year's J.V. Boys' squad. In fact, being on the J.V. team, instead of the Varsity, turned out to be a really big plus for the guys. Brad Roth felt, It tnot being on Varsityl makes you work harder to get theref' Following in the footsteps of the Var- sity, this year's Boys J.V. team ran very well. For a big portion of the season, these Titans did not allow one single point in a meet! They went on to go undefeated in league competi- tion and were crowned the Palomar League champs. Obviously, there must have been some key to this success. John Schnurer stat- ed, A'The coaches really bring out the best in us. This was due to the tact that the J.V. had similar workouts to the Varsity, and were treated much the same by both Coach Schai' tel and Embrey. Brad Roth added to the rea- son for success by saying, L'We run in such a great pack that it makes us hard to beat. Although each person had the desire to be on the Varsity, each believed that, eventually, they'd get their chance. John Schnurer summed it up by stating, Someday we'll get the spot-light. Surely, with all their skill and ability, these talented Titans will be on Varsi- ty soon. And when they are, keep your eyes peeled because they'll be worth watching.
