Although the team had a similar record to last year's team, there were many dif- ferences. Former assistant coach Iim Raymont became head coach. Dave Goree and Terr Tooz became his new assistants. The administra- tive hold ups involved hiring new coaches delayed the beginning of the season. Senior Iohn Percejus commented, We were at a disad- vantage starting later, fortunatly we worked hard and had the talent to overcome this initial obstacle. The next little problem came when an enterprising student tak- ing swimming for phys. ed., found a way to ignite the plastic obstruc- tion wimdee which was under enormous pressure. Fortunately no one was injured. Unfortunately, the team lost over a week of practice and nearly forfeited a meet UPSIDE DOWN. Andy Foggio is doing a reverse off the low board during warm-ups for the G.C.C. conference meet at Maple which the boys won for the second year in o row. 8 because of necessity for repair. Once the team got started however, there was no stopping them, They swam well in their first meets and finished non-conference competition by upsetting Hudson. Once conference competition began the team damped on everyone. The closest conference competition came from Brush which was soundly defeated by a large margin of points. The team did equally well in the CCC championship meet. Having defeated every team in the conference in the dual meets it came as no surprise when the team soundly defeated all others. The 83-84 Bearcat swimmers proved that they have both talent and endurance. By capturing the conference championship two years in a row they have set a precedent. Only time will tell how many more years they will be able to keep it up. NUMBER ONE. Iohn Pracejus, Steve Smalley, Todd Hunt, and Paul Tomondy show their pride at having wan the breast- stroke relay at Bedford's pool. BOY'S SWIMMING 9
