Life in the fast lane It is 6:15 in the morning, the beginning of a whole new day. All through the city the neighborhoods are still and quiet. However, going down to the Encinal pool lively outbursts are heard amidst the peaceful surroundings as a dedicated team of SJND swimmers troop to daily practices. Soph Jenny Allgoewer enthusiastical- ly remarked, “Getting up for practice that early is a great challenge, but it’s all worth it.” Despite obstacles, such as the early practice, no home pool and brand new swimmers, the spirit was high on this spring team. As Junior Mark Singer said, “I'm glad to have an opportunity to com- pete on the SJND swim team.” ‘We're working hard and working well under a good coach.’’ Greg Fanucchi, Sophomore This year’s track team faced a season filled with fierce competition, but with dominant runners like Junior Ruben Briones, the team faced these chal- lenges valiantly. Veterans aided in the struggle to de- feat some of the powerhouses in the new league: Sophomores Monique Bis- sonnette, Susan Henrickson and David Robillard and Junior Alan Perucho. This small team had to overcome the stress of large numbers of opposing run- ners. Coach Morris Soublet helped them do this through “practice everyday of the week and conditioning work at the beach.” And their goal? “To strive for victory and still have fun!” said Coach Soublet.
