Girls Track ib6 a smaller team, Girls Track had to work extra hard. he 1987 Girls Track team was going to face a season that would differ greatly from the year before. The team would be forced to compete with fewer girls, some of which, according to Coach Anthony Gomez, did not have as much ath- letic ability as girls in the past. Even with this against them, their main goal was to win league. They hoped to achieve it by working hard in practice every day. We had few girls out for track, which made us thin. Our distance group and shot and discus are our strong points, said Coach Gomez of the team ' s strengths and weaknesses. Coach Gomez consid- ered Lisa Vanderburg pos- sibly the most outstanding player. Lisa was a member of the distance group. Lisa ' s individual goals were to improve in the hurdles and the 800. She also hoped to be able to compete past C.I.F. In or- der to do this, she planned to do a lot of weight-train- ing and prepare herself mentally. Lisa also had a positive outlook for the team. The team is very young and there ' s not a whole lot of depth. But I have confidence because they are all working hard. Even if our team doesn ' t do as well as expected, I won ' t be disappointed be- cause they tried so hard.
