Eddie Paz added, Our team was young, so welll have much chance to im- prove ourselves. And a great future they will have, with the strong friendships that developed throughout the season. We were all a big family, out to have a good time and defend our CIF title,', explained Ricky Legaspi. Unfortunately, our new famed all- weather track, due to repairs, wasn't available for team use.

However, two guys, Lance McGrath and Bryon Devore, were inspirational team lead- ers. Bryon, a cross country runner, helped the team with many points in the distance races. He is ranked num- ber one in CIF and is second in the league. With Lance's high jump ability, he is ranked second in CIF and tenth in the state. Both team members set a great ex- ample for others to follow. Their hard work paid off. kwa 38535 .. ......a.f.N..-.mm Bottom Row:D.Schwenke,J. Musgrove,J.Archer,J.Barrie,J. Haines, D.
