EVER CIF CHAMPIONSHIP The Tiger harriers took second in the Orange League with a 6-1 record, losing only to cross town rivals. El Dorado. The El Dorado meet saw the return of Cisneros and the comeback of the Tigers. CIF prelims saw a tightly knit Valen- cia team in the position of just trying to qualify for the finals. They easily fin- ished behind the number one team. Buena Park, to reach the finals. The Tigers went into the finals with a slim shot at the championship. The fin- ish of the race saw Cisneros winning the individual championship in his fourth race of the season. Joey Gomez finished fourth, Luis Rivera, sixth. Leonardo Sandoval, twelfth, and when Phil Cas- tillo crossed the finish line in a scoring position, the Tigers had 50 points and a CIF championship. •H. ' . . Sports Illustrated 1 69
