Girls’ Swimming A Wave of Excellence A wave of excitement rolled into the pool as the girl’s swim team worked out. Accom- panied by constant moral support from Coach Mickleson and each other, they practiced weeks before school started, aiming for perfection. Their early anticipation paid off. They re- tained their third season as undefeated City Champions. Their tough rotary relay and divisional competition established a strong foundation for them to place second in state. Senior. Debbie Cadzow commented. “Being like a family, we can always count on each other for a boost of moral support. It was obvious that this camaraderie contrib- uted to the team’s success. They always had a group cheering at the other end of the pool, and a coach who was well involved with their personal attitudes and goals. Although each girl was like a single droplet of water, they all contributed to the wave of the team’s success. Design by Debbie Heim. Photos by Greg Fresquez.

Golf Shooting Sub-par It was probably the best golf team we ever had, commented golf coach Denis McGowan, it had definitely improved over last year's team.” This improved team stormed to a third place finish in divisionals which sent them to state. Enroute to this accomplish- ment, the team went 16-0 for their first undefeated year. Their performance put them at 39-0 for two years which was teamwork at its best. The team competed for the top five spots with nine holes of daily play. These five players competed in matches on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Along with be- ing undefeated in our matches, we achieved our goal of making state com- petition,” said Coach McGowan, which was very fulfilling. In the state championship, Dobson placed third. Although frustrated with their performance, the loss makes the team yearn for victory next year. Design by John Red Horse. Photos by Jerry Moore.
