Seventeen runners compete in sections Cross country runners ran hard in their section's meet during the 81-82 season. Seventeen of Tokay's run- ners, varsity, girls, and frosh- soph, qualified for the sections. These harriers ran on individual rather than team basis. Three runners, Dave Granados, Rick Lechuga, and Jesse Alcarez, were the top Tokay runners at the sec- tions. Dana Whitaker placed fourth in the girls' division of the section's meet. The top frosh-soph runner was David Schoch. During the San Joaquin Valley Athletic Association season, the boys' varsity finished sixthg the girls placed fourth: and the frosh- soph earned a fourth. Although the team was generally strong, more girls should have tried out to fur- ther build up the women's team for the next season, stated Alfonso Gomez, head coach. 3.

Varsity grapplers rience changes Change best described the season as Tokay's grapplers completed what may have been the final stage of its rebuilding period with a four- th place 5-2 San Joaquin Athletic Association slate. The major change was the absence of head coach Gregory Anderson, who re- signed from the staff to help in a family distribution enter- prise. From there, assistant Rod Gaines took sole control of the 46-man squad until Christmas when assistant coach Mike Drouin arrived. The varsity grapplers were successful in dual com- petition, but had little luck during season tournaments, capturing third only in the Armijo team tourney and fif- th in the SJAA league tour- nament. Outstanding wrestlers were senior Jim Cannon who compiled a 12-8-2 record in the 145 weight class: junior Craig Settles 17-9 at 1415 and sophomores Brian Gammill 13-5 at 170: Tom Lutge 16-8 at 122: and Roger Keener 12- 8 in the heavyweight division.
