But by the end of the season, it was nothing to them. “There was a period of adjusting, because the coaches had a new system and way of training. Puza told us what he expected, and sometimes he went into the water to show exactly what we were doing wrong. Bowman added. “Puza also lectured us on behavior and attitudes in the pool and toward each other.” Four events qualified for the state meet. The 400 freestyle relay team consisting of Denise Tomondy. Linda Canzoni, Tracy Toaz and Laura McKlllop finished 15th in the state, setting a new school record of 3:55.0. In the 100 meter back stroke event, Toaz took 10th with 1:03.0. Posting a time of 1:11.2, Bowman placed 12th in the 100 meter breaststroke. Toaz, Bowman, Canzoni and Sue Zaharewicz, the medley relay team, finished 10th at 1:57.4. Girls’ Swim Team
