Open Water Motivates Swimmers The AHS swim team will rise to the occ assion and surpass expectations, reported senior Tim Lovell In years to come, if swimming were given sup- port, Arlington could become a pow- erhouse, but for now we have to settle for a small and unknown position, but don ' t count us out because we repre- sent AHS and we have spirit, contin- ued Tim. The fifteen members, consist- ed of five seniors, three juniors, and seven sophomores, were coached by Pat Tope. Tope was also known as Zambini Man by his swimmers be- cause of his wild hairstyle. 1 The team ' s goal was to compete and perform to the best of their ability and to be as successful as possible The team went about accomplishing these goals with workouts from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM on school days when there was no meet. During these work- outs, they not only swam anywhere from 2000 to 6000 yards, but they also practiced starts, turns, strokes, and breathing patterns, additionally, they lifted weights. Chris Soholt said it best when he pronounced, We are well- disciplined and all have positive atti- tudes towards our success. £ Intent on winning.
