222 A Season Without Flaws The powerful Boys' Frosh-Soph Cross Country team successfully obtained their 6th consecutive league championship, making a firm base in the ever-powerful Sierra League. Coach lim Polite was looking forward to seeing these young and highly skilled athletes on the future Varsity squad. The Sierra League seemed to be no contest for the Girls' Cross Country team. They breezed through a very successful season, winning their sec- ond league championship in a row with a perfect record of 5-0, By winning the league title, the Girls' Cross Country team was given the opportunity to advance to the CIF prelims held at MSAC. Coach Polite commented, The girls did not run their best and could have done bet- ter. By not placing in the top five, the team was unable to advance to the CIF finals that were held at Cas- taic Lake. Three dominating runners were Carrie Flores, Melinda Manz and Michelle Manz. Both Melinda and Carrie were chosen as All-Valley run- ners.Q l l l 1 ABUSHY TAILED BUT NOT BRIGHT EYED, leff Winters rises early to get in his very important lst ABOYS' FROSHXSOPH CROSS COUNTRY.

Future Stars Emerge 'P' Taking a step in the right direction was what the lunior Varsity Cross Country team had done. Dedicated runners, such as john Riddell and Brad Popham, helped the team place first in the Sierra League and go undefeated with a 5-O record. Over the past ten years, the l.V. team had gone undefeated in the Hacienda League. They moved into tougher competition in the Sierra League and were still pulling through with two more undefeated titles. Their toughest competition in the Sierra League was Rowland, coach lim Polite remarked. Even so, the l.V.'s defeated Rowland 15 to 49. When asked if publicity would get more people to come to the meets, Kathy Lispi replied, I think so, but even though Coach Polite doesn't do a lot of publicity for us, he's still a good coach, as you can tell.
