£(ji)iM(mm (iji C; Mc, IMjUu uiit icm oach Jim Lyie, the girls ' swim team has won CIF the last two V years! What are you and your team going to do next? Go to Dis- neyland? ... hardly. We have some promising new comers, and some strong returners. I think we ' ve got a pretty good shot at a third title, re- plied Coach LyIe. With many new faces, and their third head coach in just over two years, the girls have quite a way to go. But they ' re not new to this. Many of the girls are club swim- mers, so they ' ve got experience in competition situations, LyIe said. Whether or not grace under pres- sure is enough remains to be seen. In addition to his varsity aspira- tions, LyIe has welcomed the talent of his Frosh Soph and Junior Varsity swimmers. He stated, We have many novice swimmers who ' s efforts may not pay off in a Frosh Soph league championship, but will reap greater benefits further down the line. LyIe also said that a good per- centage of his Varsity girls are fresh- men and sophomores, thus weaken- ing the Frosh Soph team just a little bit more. As far as varsity goes, LyIe was hesi- tant in making any predictions, un- derstandably enough. He did, how- ever, say of the CIF Championship, Barring any injuries, and if every- one swims up to their potential, it ' s possible. Although talent and abili- ty are the focus of the Varsity team, LyIe realizes that much more is needed to win a championship, con- cluding with I ' m continually blessed with a plethora of talented swimmers, and with dedication and team unity we can go as far as we want.
