Low participation hurts track team Though the attendance of Tokay's track team had not been up to as much as former years, it was the quality and not the quantity that coun- ted. According to Steve Westgate, first year head coach, the team showed potential individually. The 110 and D0 yard even- ts were coached by Westgate while the 440 yard and hurdle events was under the instruc- tion of Steve Scott. Alfonzo Gomez coached the middle and long distance runners. Returning members Paul Parises and John Holmes dominated the spirit events along with Greg Matthews and Rick Medeiros. Hurdlers Kyle Puckett and Jesse Alcaraz led the Tigers in the 110 highs and 330 lows while Dave Granados and Randy Lemus dominated the mile and two mile races. The girls' team was hurt- ing just as much as the var- sity and JV for athletes. There were only ap- proximately 10-12 who com- peted. Dana Whitaker showed strong competition all year long in the middle distance races, along with sprinter! hurdler Nemia Lebrilla and sprinters Jami Feiock and Irene Jefferies. Last season's promising JV team who placed first in the SJAA, brought a letdowm to the team as many athletes decided not to return. l. leading the pack is Jesse Alcaraz as the gun sounds. 2.
