ilJmg P tmmmceA Dedication led to the best team record. Chances for GIF grow each year. Ok you guys, 40 laps, in- structed water polo coach, Peggy Evans, at the begin- ning of each practice. After warnnups, the team did pass- ing drills and scrimmaged. This greuling training finally started to pay-off. I was really sore after our prac- tices, but it gave us the en- durance we needed, said Tony Reindl, sophomore. The water polo team ' s win loss record was the best since the sport came back to Arlington two years ago. The team won its first game this year after losing the past two years. Varsity player, Ethan Lema, said, The team was at least ten times as good as last year. Other players also felt the team progressed. The team ' s improvement was due mainly to the increased Matt Antoline number of players. The team had separate J.V. and varsity teams, while last year both J.V. and varsity were the same players. More players also gave the team greater versatility. In past years we really hurt in numbers, but this year we really came on strong in that area; it helped the team a lot, commented Tim Har- ris. Although the team was mostly inexperienced, they had time to become strong together, and will be even more experienced next year. Arlington was the only school in the Ivy League that did not graduate any water polo players, so all of the players will return next year. As a result, the team may even qualify for C.I.F. cham- pionships according to Coach Evans. Team spirit and determi- nation was also a major fac- tor in improving their re- cord. James Reyes re- marked, Water polo is a fun sport, so everyone was dedi- cated . . . The players were more excited about playing, and it really showed up in the games. Coach Evans was really pleased with the team spirit, Team spirit was a lot better than last year; it was great! In retrospect, the team felt it was a great season for water polo. Arlington water polo may be a dominate Ivy League force in the future. I can ' t wait until next year; it will be our best season yet, commented Lynn Pe- ters. by Mike Roberts ■ PASSING THE BALL, James Reyes directs the ball to the goal.
