Cross Countr Success: More Than Skin Deep by Jon Jaro Depth, as defined by the Webster's Dictio- nary, is 'Lthe condition or quality of being deep.' Not only was this year's Girls Varsity team deep with talent, it was deep in friend- ship as well. Senior Kim Uyeda, a four-year member of Cross Country, stated, t'This yearfs team is the strongest so far. Although the lady Titans ended the season at 3-3 in Palomar League competition, they made it We alwiaysthelp each other. No onewiis left behindf tel ffl: ll i- tti- T iff J ,,E?F9l'Carrie Gelwix up at the various invitationals that they com- peted in. The results were: 4th place - Dana Hills Invitational, 4th place - Mt. Car- mel lnvitational, 4th place - Southern Cali- fornia Invitational, and 3rd place - Mt. San Antonio Invitational. Their key to success was the consistent performance by all the runners. Coach Schaitel was able to use ev- ery ounce of talent each individual had. Ju- nior Jill Brawner, a first-year member of Cross Country, remarked, t'He has high ex- pectations and wants us to give 110o7o.H The girls promptly delivered what had been ex- pected of them, and found themselves ex- tremely potent with ability. As a result, Coach Schaitel and the team developed a strong bond of friendship. Carrie Gelwix said, 'tHe fCoach Schaitell is a coach, but we look up to him as a friend. He,s someone to count on and trustf' added Kim Uyeda. De- spite all of the ability that each person pos- sessed, the girls weren't running for them- selves. You run for the team more than for yourselffl replied Jill. This type of attitude produced a unique relationship within the team. Carrie stated, We're all really great friends. f'Everyone makes an effort to get alongf, remarked Jill. The positive chemistry of this year's Girls Varsity team is surely an indication of what lies ahead in the future. Kim closed by predicting, L'We can only get stronger! With so much going for them al- ready, there's no doubt at all that they will become even better in years to come. Lauren Anderson displays the form which led her to so many victories. Carrie Gelwix overtakes an opponent in stride. Teresa Davis runs with a determination un- matched by any other. 52 Cross Country

Cross Countr All In The Family by Jon Jaro The fact we do so well is because of the coaching, our willingness to work, and the dedication and unity of the team. In this single statement, first-year runner, Lysha Younker, captured the entire essence of this year's J.V. Girls' team. Like the Boys' J.V. team, they enjoyed quite an excellent sea- son. The lady Titans finished the Palomar League competition undefeated, making them the league champions. In addition, they also fared rather well at the invitationals. Their results were: 3rd place - Dana Hills Invitational, 2nd place - Mt. Carmel Invita- tional, lst place - Southern California Invi- tational, and 2nd place - Mt. San Antonio Invitational. The coaches, namely Coach Em- brey, were key figures in shaping the girls, team into one winning unit. Coach Embrey, who was making a difficult transition from Football to Cross Country, had a significant impact on the team. Katie Merrifield, another first-year participant, said, Mr, Embrey is a big help. I-Ie's a special coach. I-Ie wants everyone to do well, replied one person. The girls gladly returned the favor by work- ing at an extremely intense level, and always as a team. Furthermore, they always gave each other plenty of encouragement, which brought about a sense of togetherness within the team. With such positive outlook towards Cross Country, there was no possible way these ladies could go wrong. And, as a result, they emerged winners through and through. , .,,,,. , ,,,, If L , Q .VKVV gwfv g., irimwgg,,,H:w?, ,,..,, ,,,, , .,,..,,,, ,, ,,,.,,,,, .,,,, 16 rrrr I I ,f-- ,aria w r- fav 1 'ii i ....
