Unprecedented State Victory Undefeated Girls Place Second Supremacy prevailed for the girts swim team as they took first in the city meet with an undefeated record for the second consecu- tive year. The team went on to establish themselves as undeni- able champions with a triumph at divisionals as the number one team and then again at the state meet with the unprecedented accomplishment of taking the run- ner-up position. Both swimming and diving had consistent, successful seasons due in part to more aggressive and in- dividualized workouts as well as additional emphasis on goal at- tainment. Goals played a signifi- cant part in the team's success as In State they labored toward reaching each goal set, including those vic- tories mentioned above as well as taking first in the Rotary Relay meet and attaining more personal bests. Having a larger team than in previous years attributed to the wins as new talent presented it- self, easing the load off others. Encouraging each other to work toward group and individual goals, as well as sticking together through tense moments, enabled the team to reach the goals that made them the most successful girls swim team to date.
