At the age of seventeen, s e has visited six different countries with international Sports Exchange. UCLA, UCI Berkegy, and UniversiIty of Minnesota have offered scholarships to ugent for running - another obvious benefit. , With above average grades and natural athletic talent, Nu- gent has paved the way to a future of success. - LOIB Stowe ost people think of the shy, soft spoken athlete as the one who never wins - the one who lacks the confidence that the more aggressive competitors gained through winning. The qui- eter athlete usually gets tucked in the back of the group, hardly noticed by spectators. This is far from the case with Agustin Ramirez. On the surface, Ramirez is quiet and resenled, but he never goes unnoticed. He has been running cross-country for three years since he was a sophomore, and in those three years, he was named Most Outstanding, twice, and also named Most Improved. g Driven by the love of competition, Ramirez spends a great deal of his time running, improv- ing his times, and preparing for meets. My favorite thing about cross-country is the competition, said Ramirez. l've learned a lot of things through competing with other people. Hard work has led to a position as the top boy runner on the team for Ramirez. He has a unique thing, explained Coach Jim Temples. He has a goal, and is honestly going to work toward that goal. He's not going to be distracted. He focuses on what is to be accomplished. Ramirez doesn't need fancy words or witty comments to make himself known - his run- ning ability speaks for itself. - Lora Stowe CROSS COUNTRY 57

Unfortunately, the girls' field hockey team was unable to uphold its reputation and recapture last season's title 'League Champf lnstead, they sacrificed their first place standing of last year to a fourth place spot in Palomar League this year. A lot of our outstanding senior players graduated last year, and that really hurt us, explain Coach Ellie Minor. We had a very young to do their part. said senior starter Kristina Kueltzo. Consisting mainly of first year competitors, the junior varsity team iso struggled through a rough season, according to Coach Linda elson. Being a first year hockey player and coach herself, Nelson was learning right along with the team. Despite the disadvantage of inexperience, the girls made great progress and by the end of the season began to show tremendous potential. - Lora Stowe ii' the and inexperienced team this year. The team was also hindered by the loss of last year's goalie Jamie Ramirez, who traded in her pads for a position on the field as sweeper. lt seemed as if nothing would go right for the team as the once -'-' f speedy and aggressive offence began having trouble scoring.

These are some of the things that come to mind when Americans think of Holland and the Dutch. Foreign exchange students Steven Beekhuis came to America from Holland wearing tennis shoes, looking like the all-American teenage boy. Many stu ents might have even mistaken him for a returning Torrey Pines students. That is, ttys until he attempted toeioin the field hockey team. Field hockey is one of the top sports in Holland, and is widely played by boys and girls, men and women - quite a contrast to Torrey Pines, where a boy wouldn't think of playing hockey. Soccer is first in Holland, said Beekhuis. Then comes tennis and field hockey. An eleven year hockey veteran, Beekhuis began play- ing at the early age of seven when his parents took him to the hockey club on weekends. ln Holland, kids start playirg hockey when they're seven and eight years old. You just grow up with it, he said. lf l lived here, l would efinitely start a boys' team. Unfortunately, Beekhuis wasn'tallowed to participate on the girls' team in the games because of Cl'F rules, but he attended all of them and played with the team in daily practices. I was like the team manager and assistant coach, he explained. Hockey is played only as a club sport in Holland, because the schools do not have athletic programs. The schools are very different here, said Beekhuis. Here, they have sports after school, and in Holland the schools don't have sports. We play twice a week at the club. At the end of the school year, Beekhuis will be traveling back to Holland where club hockey is played year Lcgund by men and women alike. But if he were to stay in America, he would begin a program for high school ys. ' - Lora Stowe ON THE PADS. Right Wing Lora Stowe battles with San HIT AND RUN.
