Atwater Their strongest point was deter- mination. It was reflected in their at- titudes. Some teams are blessed with outstanding athletes or a run- ning background. We weren ' t. We were just determined to do better, stated Frosh Soph Boys Cross Country Coach Jim Knapp. Coach Knapp, along with Coach Sylva, helped to improve the hard- working team. They worked ex- tremely hard and did what was asked of them, stated Coach Knapp. With unity and determi- nation, we all worked to- gether to have a good team. — Mike Duarte Coach Sylva agreed, I feel the team was good. We told them what was going to happen, that we ' re not go- ing to have many wins, but we ' re go- ing to improve each week. And we did. There was a lot of teamwork, said Ki Park, we encouraged each other. During practice, meets, and off the track, the team continued to support one another and encourage their teammates ' efforts. With such support and teamwork, improvement was evident in each players developing skills. I feel we have several potential varsity play- ers, said Coach Knapp, all of them, if they stay in the program all four years, can greatly excel. Although there is a need for more student participants, nobody can deny any lack of spirit, comradeship, and progress. With this in mind, the boys frosh soph cross-country team reached the finish line as win- ners. V Good luck, man! A friendly handshake be- fore the race helps get Alvaro Alvaraz in the mood for action. Setting his mind to win, Mike Duarte pro- gressively reaches his goal. Winning and doing it well are the only things on a runner ' s mind during competition. 4 • Ki Park sweats it out during another cross country race. These long distance races often take all the energy and adrenalin of a run- ner. Foil Sporrs 49
