The boys' varsity team was bolstered by several outstanding athletes including Greg Shulman in the shot put, Burke Smith in discus, along with newcomer Paco Camarena who ran the hurdles and participated in the high jump. Matt Lehman and Jody Lim handled the distance events, while Mike Dougherty excelled in the sprints. Senior David Dogue compiled most of the points for the varsity boys' team participating in the relays and the long jump. Though they were a small team, they showed tremendous improvement and potential for the years to come. Commented jump coach Sally Stafford, We need more numbers to insure a better record, but we have no facilities to attract the kids. Size was the major disadvantage on the team. There were quality athletes to earn many first place showings, but there wasn't enough depth to get the essential second and third places that would have been a tremendous asset to the team record. 'tWe didn't have an impressive record this year, but you have to keep in mind that we are a young team - mostly freshmen and sophomores, and we are in the toughest league in the county, said sprint coach Jim Temples. t'For the most part, I think the team had a very good attitude. The season was a learning experience for us all. The kids learned to overcome doubt and believe in themselves. - Bob Canterbury ' HMOXW'

A good wrestler needs to know hundreds of moves, he needs to be quick on his feet land on the grou ndl, and be able to out-think his opponents in split seconds. These are the qualities that make Lance Delay an outstand- ing wrestler. Delay became interested in the sport when his football coach suggested that wrestling would be good for him. Coach Haines told me that wrestling would teach me self- discipline, and to push myself, recalled Delay. So with the encouragement of his coach, and his best friend, he joined the team. My best friend, Craig, was real inspirational in my decision to wrestle. He taught me to stick with it and keep going, and he told me I could be great if I really tried, said Delay. Obviously, Craig was right as Delay skyrocketed his record from last season's 3-4 to a high of 20-4 this season along with being recognized as the team's Most Valuable wrestler. A problem on the wrestling team has always been lack of depth, and Delay feels that some students may perceive wrest- ling as being to hard. ' I think the kids think it's too hard. We have really hard work- outs and it's real physical. There are moves where you twist a guy one way, and goodbye, they're gone. You have to know your strengths and weaknesses whel you wrestle. Delay recognizes his strength as just that- strength. I have a lot of power, he said, so it's easy to throw people around. l compete in the heavy weight class, and the people are fat and big. Some of them weigh up to 250 pounds, and only weigh 225. They get tired quicker because they're so big, so I just out quicked them and pinned them, Delay said. Delay recalls that his best match was one against Sar Dieguito when he outscored his opponent by 13 points. lt was a real exciting match, said Delay. There was a big crowd there and they were all cheering me on. I pinned the guj down a lot. I was real inspired. Although Delay has proven himself as a star wrestler, his heart belongs to football. t I want to get a scholarship in football. lt's my main thing. During his spare time, Delay enjoys weight lifting, doing karate, and hunting. Perhaps if he is as outstanding a football player as he is 2 wrestler, Delay will most certainly be snatched up by a fortu- nate COIIGQB scout. - Lora Stowe
