Also, besides winning the San Joaquin Athletic Associ- ation title, the boys varsity and girls frosh-soph teams ran to titles. The frosh-soph boys took third place. Collectively, the teams had the their best season it ever, accord- ing to Kenneth Israel, assistant coach. Many factors contributed to the success of all four teams. For the varsity girls, depth was a strength, according to Alfonso Gomez, head coach. We had seven to nine girls when the first finished, we knew that the others would come in to finish within 45 seconds, he said. Good runners definitely played a part in the team's strength. Several frosh-soph runners competed at the varsity level, Coach Israel said. Some of the outstanding run- ners who contributed to the suc- cess of the team were junior Louis Rivera, senior Carlos Cas- telo, sophomore Justin Redfearn, sophomore Michael Pearson, and freshman Dennis Chua, all of who ran varsity except for Pearson, who usually ran frosh- soph. Outstanding girls were junior Stefanie Aquino, junior Nicole Wordlaw, junior Celeste Her- nandez and freshman Christina Lindstrom, all running varsity. At the frosh-soph level, freshmen Stacey Robles and Amy Young stood out. Confidence was an improve- ment, said Hernandez. Every one's confidence went up. Many expectations were ex- ceeded with the team's success- es. They exceeded my hopes, said Coach Israel. We hoped to be in the top three. Mr. Gomez added, We knew the girls would win. With the boys, we thought we would come in the top three. We were expecting second or third to Lincoln, agreed Rivera. But, said Mr. Gomez, in the middle of the year we came together in a cohesive unit and beat Lincoln and from there, it was easy. by Cherie Cortez Photos by Matthew Silber Cross Country 155
