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 ....

By Jennifer Stampfli Animal cheerl' shouted someone and the girls prowled around the court growling at one another. Team captain Paige Smith ex- plained, 'llt's the team's way of getting 'up' for the game. The growling puts us in a good mood, ready for the competition. Finishing the season undefeated, all agreed that the key to their success was uni- ty. Coach Mary Cooper called them The best team l've ever had. Zoe Anastas said, HWe join together to get things done. Every- one gets along with everyone elsef' Judy Egan added, K'We're all friends, we stick to- gether and push. Another plus besides cooperation is our strong fundamentals. We don't have any weak areas, stated Cindy Beers. Each game radiated with the team spirit and devotion felt by each girl. i'Everyone wants to win and tries harder. Our spirit really brings us alive, expressed Susan Napierala. Enthusiasm pre- vailed on the court as the girls cheered one another on and growled. Coach Cooper credited her team's success to three key factors. First, the team has a lot of depth. Any six girls on the team are good enough to win league. Second, they all sup- port each other. And third, Coach Sarver- Reis worked with them over the summer, they came to me ready to play. At the end of the season Paige Smith re- marked, 'iWe work well together. Everyone has a lot of talent. Even in one season I saw my teammates strive for more and improve. Back left: J. Egan, J.
