SEASON AT A GLANCE: Skieresz won her third consecutive Ventura County, Marmonte League and Southern Section titles and placed first in the State Division II championships after winning the Division I title as a junior. In addition, she qualified for the Foot Locker national championships for the second time in the last three years by finishing fifth in the West regional. Although she was disappointed with her 14th-place effort in the national meet--she was third in 1992--she was the highest finisher from the region.
