Tennis, Soccer Coaches Needed

Manzano High is looking for two new boys coaches, one for tennis and the other for soccer, the school's athletic director, recently announced.

Stephanie Gurule-Smith, who guided the Monarchs for a single season, said she resigned a couple of weeks ago in order to take a teaching position and be the boys' tennis coach at Albuquerque High. Manzano was the District 5-5A runner-up at 2-1 last year, and it had an overall record of 3-9.

Tristan Lloyd, who was the soccer coach for two years, said he resigned Jan. 21 so he could concentrate on his studies at the University of New Mexico. The Monarchs were 4-16, 1-7 this past fall.

For information or to submit a résumé for either position, call Bob Kelly, the AD, at 559-2253.
