GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL
Captain: Fred Kim ’00
Captains: Evy Disner ’00 and Cheryl Lynn Horton ’00
Coach: Pierre Yoo This cohesive and highly focused group of runners—heavy on the juniors—ended its season 1-1 in dual/ tri-meets, and third in the Condor League. Having graduated five of seven varsity runners last year, the team relied on experienced sophomore Will Barkan, captain Fred Kim, and new-to-the-sport Chris Brown ’01 (who also won MVP); also proving his mettle was Canyon Cody ’01, who finished sixth in the league finals. In addition to Fred, other seniors who provided critical leadership were Justin Mulholland, Eric Reeser, and Matt Schuman. Junior Matt Cohen won Most Improved. With ten of the fourteen runners returning to the team next fall and at least a few freshmen rising to the ranks, the future of the team looks promising.

Coach: Chuck Warren
Coach: Fred Coleman
A building year if ever there were one, yet this team kept its collective shoulder to the wheel, working hard to improve and genuinely did, maintaining exemplary enthusiasm in the face of some close matches that ended in defeat. As their coach said, “This suggests a depth of character—among the younger players especially—that, when combined with the gradual improvement of their skills, should carry them to future victories, even when a narrow loss is a possibility.” Varsity letter winners included captains Cheryl Lynn and Evy, Jennifer Bowie ’01, Heidi Cole ’02 (named Most Improved), Mercedes Farrell ’02, Betsy Bradford ’02, and Alex Herbert ’02.
Captains: Besse Gardner ’00 and Samantha Grumman (’00)
Coach: Chris Mazzola Landing a season record of 10-5, this team won several important matches against large public schools, most notably over Dos Pueblos (Santa Barbara) and Rhigetti (Santa Maria). The team finished second in the Condor League. The team greatly benefited from the experience of talented sophomore newcomers Bea Staley at #2 singles and Libby Rauner at #2 doubles. Elizabeth Sanseau ‘01 was named Most Valuable Player (and captain for next fall’s team); Emily Dachs ’01 and Meredith Flannery ’01 shared Most Improved honors.
GIRLS’ JUNIOR VARSITY TENNIS Captain: Marisa Binder ’00 Season Record: 2, 3 Coach: David Johnston “The whole team was most valuable!” said Dr. J at season’s end. Led by a committed and optimistic captain, seasoned players Emma White ’01, Smitha Reddy ’01, Yasmine Arastu ’01, and Laura Allen (’01) joined spirited sophomores Claire Faggioli, Laurel Peterson, Satya Peake, and Chelsea Bauch to form the core of the team; their opposition was most often varsity squads. Promising rookies included Nikki Silverman ’01, Jane Kwett ’02, and Iyana Reid ’02.

GIRLS’ JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER
Winter Sports GIRLS’ VARSITY SOCCER Captain: Sarah Morrow ’00 League Record: 6-1-1 Season Record: 8-6-2 Coaches: Bill Vickery and Mary Everett, CdeP ’94 Led by five seniors—Sarah Morrow, Kristin Berona, Erin Blankenship, Besse Gardner, and Mia Silverman—started the season bound and determined to be a better team by playoff time. They started in November emphasizing precise passing and a possession-style of attack while moving players around to different positions to find their most successful formation. After some frustrating results early in the campaign, persistence and patience paid off in the end. Individually and as a team, they made significant strides, finishing the League Season with a fine record and as co-Champions with Villanova. In the CIF playoffs, the team won its first-round match 3-1 in overtime against Viewpoint, but was upended in the next round by an exceptionally strong team from Pasadena Poly—a team that was seeded first in our division and went on to playing the tournament final. With nine returning juniors, this group is primed for continued success next winter!

BOYS’ CROSS COUNTRY
According to Coach Coleman, “This team learned to play a beautiful style of soccer and ended the season as Condor League Champions.” Key ingredients in this team’s success were the inspiration from Captain Felicity who continued to support the team at practices and games, despite the disappointment of her season ending due to a shoulder injury. The Coach’s Award went to Betsy Bradford ‘02 for her help, loyalty, and devotion after her ACL surgery early in the season. Highlights of the season were defeating Villanova twice and Cate two out of three times. Laurel Back ’03 scored the most goals (11) and had the most points (24). Ellie Fletcher ’00 led the team in assists with five.
GIRLS’ THIRD SOCCER Captains: Amissa Bongo ’00, Suriya Jayanti ’00, and Addie Hearst ’01 League Record: 1-1-1 Season Record: 1-3-1 Coaches: Andrew Ho and Wendi Parker-Dial The last game against Midland was the highlight of the season for many reasons. Thirty Third Teamers crammed onto a half field, cornered by JV, Varsity, and Freshman made for a crowded field. The final score, 7-0, was in large part due to sophomore Meg Kwan’s five goals scored in two quarters.Meg won the Most Valuable Player award while Lucy Hodgman ’03 was named Most Improved Player.
