With the .help of the coaching staff, Ithe team felt that they had the potential to reach the top in their new league.

Even though the track team was smaller than the teams of other schools, they were very optimistic and dedicated to winning. We have a small team, but we have spirit and no- body ever quits, said senior Ben Chua. Part of their dedication came from track coach Anthony Gomez and new sprinting coach, David Shirley. Also, the new Valle Vista league was said to be less challenging. Coby Polite said, The new league is easier, especially for our sprinters. Our biggest op- ponent is Covina.
