Flores

        Birmingham boys ran without transfer Ruben Ruiz from Chatsworth, who 
had been
running very strong lately.  There was question about his living situation
(relative instead of guardian) and Coach Scott King of Birmingham held him out
of the meet.  
        The question is how the Belmont peak will carry them through to the
