The Tigers finished third in the competition behind seven-time win- ner Stagg and runnerup Lincoln. Despite Stagg's seventh consecu- tive win, the Tigers won several indivdual awards. These included: senior Brian Ma- nich, winner of the essay competi- tion in the scholastic division, senior John Park, winner of the essay competition in the honors division, senior Bryan Hitchcock, winner of the science competition in the varsi- ty division, and senior David Farrar, winner of the science competition in the honors division. l enjoyed working with the kids and l liked the idea that the topics ifor Academic Decathloni were out- side the realm of the classroom and the kids got to study things that you wouldn't study normally, said Coach Allen. ln addition to coaching the Tig- ers, Coach Allen also coached at Montevideo Christian High School in Watsonville for two years before coming to Tokay. Although she was not considering offering Academic Decathlon as a class, similar to Stagg's program, Coach Allen planned to return as coach next year better prepared. ln addition to getting her recom- mendations in the spring instead of the fall, she planned to study the super quiz in the summer and the novel in the spring, and work a lot more on the speeches. Tokay placed third in the super quiz competition behind eventual winner Stagg. Tokay improved from last year's fourth place finish despite a more difficult super quiz topic than last year. by John Park photos by Leroy Lambert ng- sa mm' Z 4 3 r i ...wx 0... .. .,,,..W..,,...-...W ...W-
