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

W«h all of the girl's hard work, the track team is helping to PASS ON A he girls' track team opened up the season by defeating all of their league opponents. The ST runners also won the Watsonville Invitational meet. Later, the two-mile med- ley team of Kama Sooy, Khristina Berquist, Evie Barry, and Keri Sanchez sprinted to a first place finish at the Stanford Invitational meet. Top runners for the Saints were Kama Sooy. and Khris- tina Berquist who both ran the quarter and half mile, Evie Barry who ran the mile and two mile, and Keri Sanchez who could be seen competing in hurdles, 200 and 400 meter run, long jump, and triple jump. Keri could easily take CCS in triple jump this year, and many other events in the future.” stated Kama Sooy. Other jumpers included Wendy Kohler and Renee Caparelli who competed in the high, long, and triple jump. Also helping to round out the already strong Saints team were laura Jenkins running the two mile, Tonja Daniels and Terri Pashoin who ran the quarter and hall mile, and Erika Lampe who competed in the shot put and discus. The ST track team is expected to do well in CCS. Kama Sooy felt that CCS is going to be great. Most of the really tough teams that we will be against in CCS are ones that we have not gone up against in league meets. Los Gatos and Independence are usually tough schools, so we won't get to compete against them until CCS.” Coaching of the athletes helped the runners, sprinters, and jumpers to greatly improve throughout the year. With only a few of the competitors graduating this year. Santa Teresa is insured to be a major threat in the future. By Laura Geer. Putting her best foot forward Freshman Keri Sanchez practices hurdles before the race. Ken competed in about sev- en different ever fljfciahout the year. Ken also was a rm'mber of the volleyball, cross- country. and soc WBWis this year. Kama Sooy felt that. Keri is a great athlete. She seems to be good at every sport that she tries.
