Though they lost some stars to gradu- ation, the freshmen and sophomores of last year seemed talented enough to fill the void. The team was led by Craig Magness who last year qualified for the state finals in the 800 as a freshman. Greg Fitzgerald and Lenny Luscher also looked for a great season, since both were CCS finalists last year in the hurdles and mile relay respectively. Helping in the sprints and jumps were Tim Peevyhouse. David Kana- moto and Billy Johnson. Pleasant surprises came from the performances of Ryan Sharrott in the 400, Jeff Silva in the long jump, and Pat Malone in distances. The Saints wanted the kind of season that they had in 1987 when they broke 12 school records. The Saints opened the 88 track season in great fashion. At the Watsonville Relays, they managed to win the two mile relay, the sprint medley, the distance medley, and the mile relay. The Saints also placed in the 880 relay. With all the success that they displaced at this meet, they only narrowly missed winning the team title. The team looked forward to competing in other upcoming invitationals such as the pres- tigious Stranford where over 60 schools participated. The Saints then competed in The Fresno Bee Invitational and the Bruce Jenner Classic. All of these meets helped to prepare the Saints for the CCS Championships and a shot at the State Finals where they have competed for the last six years. By Ralph Drendel. Z' V Boys Track | 33 J
