After having taken the Hacienda League title their first year in exist- ence and the Sierra League title in 1979, the girls' track team faced the goal of getting three titles in a row. A new coach changed the look of this year's team, but other than that, the Varsity team remained the same. New coach, Mr. Tim Cuzik, joined the Walnut girls, enabling three year coach, Mrs. Katie Foster, to coach the squad more efficiently. A few of the outstanding athletes on the team were Laura Simone, Lez- lie Heard, and Kim jackson. Laura and Lezlie were half of the 440 relay team that had gone to CIF for the last two years. With the addition of Kim and Carla Hopkins, the relay team was expected to be even better. Some of the young hopefuls were Rhonda Black, high jumper, Carrie Flores, 880, and Melinda Manz, distance runner. l can't wait for the season to get started, remarked coach Foster. She went on to predict, We have an excellent group of girls thisyear. They should do very well.
