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.

Four Titan men work together for another Poway victory. ,rf Kevin Malloy runs in deep concentration to the finish. MVP This year 's choice as MVP for the Varsity Boys Cross Country team was Bryon De-Vore. Bryon, only ajunior, began running at the age of 8. One of the many highlights x rp. for him this year was finishing 3rd in league. Bryon felt the biggest influ- ence on him was Coach Schaitel. In addition to running, he also enjoys ten- nis and volleyball. His plans for the future include at- tending UC Davis or UCSB, and en- tering the field of architecture. However, with I more year left, Bryon and Cross Country have even more to achieve. ... g...i tl. ttrr A ,ygs s ,yyyy gy r .tgyg it it W MOC 'L We They Q . fzvqg 13,53 V Hemi 1 ttrr' fifth 49 loans 4RHa115fq,,v,' t i famplace igryx-..

Everyone set? Bang!!! Off they went, excitingly running in their first Cross Country meet as freshmen. Despite the trials and tribulations they each had to face as freshmen, these young men adjusted rather well. Most of the guys found fitting into the Poway High Cross Country program easy. Dan Travers stated, John Steffens and Kevin Malloy are like big broth- ers. The Freshmen team was accepted by the other squads, and much like them, were very successful. This yearls team posted an impressive third-place finish at the Dana Hills Invitational and an even more remarkable second-place finish at the Mt. San Antonio Invitational. Three runners came in the top twenty at Dana Hills, while another three runners came in the top fifteen at Mt. Sac. How did these freshmen accomplish such feats? Darren Malloy said, The guys work real hard and we really want to win. Chris Crosier added, We work hard but we also have a lot of fun out theref' It's plain to see that these young Titans have the winning atti- tude. Combine this with all the talent that they, clearly, possessed and we obtained something quite special. With this in mind, Cross Country at Poway High School ap- peared to reach new heights. . UV.
