The girls' teams at Westlake and Harvard-Westlake were composed primarily of soccer players. Westlake sophomore Ashley Jones, a member of the Olympic Development Program's 15-and-under team, won her school's first Ventura County title. The Warriors, who finished seventh in the Southern Section Division III final and advanced to the state championships, had trouble fielding a full team because of the soccer commitments of Jones and freshmen Michelle Kanama and Lauren Shanklin. Flacks and freshman Simona Capisani, sophomore Nadia Hidayatallah and senior Allie Gordon are four of Harvard-Westlake's seven varsity runners who play soccer. Freshman Anna Farias-Eisner was on Flacks' club soccer team but quit in September to concentrate on cross country. Harvard-Westlake had not run in a meet at full strength this season because of soccer commitments until the Mission League finals, in which Flacks and Farias-Eisner finished 1-2 to lead the Wolverines to the team title. Canyon's Alysia Johnson and Brenda Stevens, who finished 1-2 in the Foothill League finals in helping the Cowboys to their eighth league title in nine seasons and a fourth-place finish in the Southern Section Division I finals, and Desert Christian's Jynnifer Wright also play soccer. WRIGHT STUFF Desert Christian senior Jynnifer Wright finished third in the state Division V final for her third top 10 state meet finish. The four-time Desert Mountain League champion also placed eighth as a freshman in 1998 and 10th as a sophomore. Last year, she was 11th despite a midseason appendectomy Appendectomy Definition Appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. The appendix is a worm-shaped hollow pouch attached to the cecum, the beginning of the large intestine. . CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT La Canada senior Rachel Frandsen hoped to complete her high school career with a second state team title. Frandsen, however, is wearing another crown this fall as a Rose Parade princess. Frandsen was selected to the seven-member Royal court in October to preside pre·side intr.v. pre·sid·ed, pre·sid·ing, pre·sides 1. To hold the position of authority; act as chairperson or president. 2. To possess or exercise authority or control. 3. on the 2002 Rose Parade and the national-championship Rose Bowl. She was picked from more than 900 applicants during a three-week process. The selection forced Frandsen, a member of La Canada's 1998 state Division III champion team, to quit the cross country team at midseason because of Royal Court obligations, which includes more than 150 community and media functions. La Canada coach Tony Haynes supported Frandsen as well as other runners trying out for the Royal Court in the past but never felt threatened by any of them making it all the way.

Adj. 1. in September while in the midst Adv. 1. in the midst - the middle or central part or point; "in the midst of the forest"; "could he walk out in the midst of his piece?" midmost of Royal Court tryouts, teammates good-naturedly encouraged Frandsen with a Rose Princess wave as she raced by. Haynes began to become concerned after Frandsen, who is also involved in choir, orchestra and her church youth group, was named as one of the 32 finalists. ``When I told her to go out, I never dreamed she was going to make it,'' Haynes said about Frandsen, a national merit semifinalist who has achieved the Girl Scout Gold Award and is a hospital volunteer. ``After she made the first cut, I just had a feeling deep inside that with all her extracurricular activities and how outgoing Rachel is that she was going to make it.'' Haynes had projected this year's team to rival it's 1998 state title team with fourth-year runners Frandsen, Emily Farr and Carina Carina (kərē`nə) [Lat.,=the keel], southern constellation, representing the keel of the ancient constellation Argo Navis, or Ship of the Argonauts.

The Spartans persevered despite the loss of Frandsen in the RioHondo League finals to win their seventh consecutive title, the Southern Section Division III title and placed third in the state final.
